well the floors up and gone. the small spot i had turned into a big spot went from 1ft x 1ft to 2ft x 3ft.i cut back to hard dry balsa and am going to go forward from there. the big area(front casting platform) came up in one big peice and had no balsa woord corning left under it. i had to cut most of the casting area out of the boat. tomarrow i start shaping wood and coating fiberglass. it has been a long day.
