Luckily for me, right now it is only time. I have enough tools and equipment that the work to date has not added any cost to the project. But once the tear down is complete, then I know the wallet gets real thin!!!!
Removed the rear cap and livewell where I can start to remove the transom. This replacement job will be from the inside. The inner layer was real bad under the motor area but the wood on the sides still is nice and dry. It is removing this good wood that will pose the challenge.
My other current task is to get about 40 gallons of old gas out of the tank. The boat has a registration sticker good til 2001 which was probably the last time it may have been in the water. I think it is too old to even try to mix in vehicles. Does someone know who will take old fuel?
