[Grisk]

Well thanks, alot. I've restored several small wooden boats, as a hobby, with my sons over the years. I thought I'd try someting "new". I considered early Donzi's for a time. Was banging around the internet one night and stumbled upon "The amazing Carl Moseley". Then I found you guys. I have read and reread post after post in repairs/mods. Poured over the For Sale forum. Lurked unabashedly. I'm from upstate NY. You can find bright beautiful sunny days in February more often than a used Seacraft. They don't exist here. Took off March 17th for south FL. bought a '76 20' SF and headed home. Arrived Sat. evening, March 21. The Princess bride strolls out and says," I love it"! Now the hard part. I'm going to school at Strick University. My first chore is to open this old girl up. Transom without a doubt. I have used Smith's CPES (Clear Penetrating Epoxy Sealer) in the past and asked Smiths if it was compatible with Vinylester. See: (Chapter one Introduction to Goo 101 @ Strick University)They tell me it is compatible but recomended epoxy for strength and durability. I'm looking for input from those with practical experience. Thanks, again. You guys are incredible.
