Last set of pics for this thread.....I just wanted to show the way the through floor scuppers were built in....
After I cut some of the fiberglass skin off, the wood on both sides was very wet so the scuppers were leaking.
So I used a dremel tool with a rotary cutter head I could insert up into the tube from the bottom and cut it all the way around......then I could pull an end off from the bottom....
Then I used a 1 inch diameter fiberglass rod to drive the rest of the tube out the top...
Once the tubes were out I removed the wood blocks...the starboard side was pretty easy....on neither side was the wood really bonded to the glass around it. I had to cut the backend off the block, then pry it backward using a bolt that I stuck into it....it took a couple of cuts...drilling a set of holes made the chisel work easy.
The tubes were very corroded....the starboard side isn't in focus too well, but note the copper color on the edges...I could break off pieces with my fingers....
The port side was much harder....quite a bit of chiseling out smaller pieces, but usung a chisel from the hole in the bottom got a large chunk out.
And last....a shot up into the place on the port side where the wood came from....you can see the corner hole and the hole in the boat bottom....
