Default Re: 18SF rebuild

Well tonight we popped the remaining liner loose from the hull. We put a floor jack under the front bulkhead and took out all the screws in the gunwale. It popped loose much easier than I had expected. I am not sure I could have taken the liner and cap out unless the floor was out already. The plan is as of right now is to screw the liner back where is was. Then build the box across the transom and put the gunwale inserts back on and tab them in place. Then we are going to pull the whole liner out in one piece, minus the floor. If I do it like this, the floor can be put in all the way to the hull on the sides and the transom. I think this will make it much stronger. We are going to try and work on the rear box saturday and I will try to post some pics of the progress.
