Default Re: Wet stringer foam question

Bill,we already pulled the tank,it's in good shape,and the platform underneath it is solid.It's funny, as we were just saying last night,that maybe we should drill a few holes in the box,and let the water drain out as much as possible.It's hard to tell how wet it is,because it's frozen right now,but the dry foam is soft,and the frozen stuff is a little less than halfway up.

I have the boat completely enclosed, in a tarped in scaffold enclousure,that is 12'high x 15'wide x 30'long.I run a couple heaters in it when i'm working on it,but shut them off when i'm not,so it freezes up at night.
I can get the inside up to the mid to high fifties when its in the high twenties to low thirties outside.


I have a friend in the fiberglass and resin supply business helping me out with the technical info,and hands on lessons with the glass work,so thats a huge help to me.If this boat isn't as great as everyone says,his head is on the block,because he's the guy responsible for making me have to put on that dreadful tyvek suit,and work my a-s off.I'm kidding of course,but he was the guy who kept telling me that i should try to find an old Seacraft,because they're so good.

Hey,sure bill,it'd be great to have you pay a visit,i live in Wilbraham Ma.,it's a little bit east of springfield,near Ludlow and Palmer.I'm about 40 miles west of Worcester 10-15 minutes off I-90.Feel free to give me a call at 413-596-8091,if i'm not home, leave a message i'll call you back.
