Got the deck pulled yesterday along with the tank. After cutting the perimeter of the deck, I looped a strap through the front deck inspection hatch and lifted the entire deck out with the help of a fork lift. Tank was similar, I was able to rip out the front and back bulkheads that were rotted, which allowed me to run a strap along the length of the tank and racheted it out. Capped off the ends and pressure tested it to 4psi without leaks. Sanded what primer/paint was still left on it and plan on coating it this week sometime. I cut out the little amount of glass that was left around the tank area, I still need to grind it all flush but ill do that later.
Once the deck was out, I went after the wet foam. The areas foamed left and right of the stringers were only wet about half way up from the stern, and only the lower 1/2" or so was really saturated through. I went ahead and cleaned out both sides front to back. Im going to refill these areas AND the stringers once theyre ready. The stringer foam has some water in it that I could see once I shoved a pry bar down there and moved it around. The water seeps out of the compressed foam.
FYI the deck is all 3/4" material. I was under the assumption it was 1/2" I'm not sure if this is a tracker specific thing, or what.
The last picture shows a fiberglass tube that was on the outside part of the left and right stringer, about 2/3rds up from the stern that was glassed in - I'm thinking to help pop/lift the boat out of the mold initially? The glass box at the front of the deck is from a past project that never got completed and I'm looking at cutting it down to make it into an anchor/castnet/wetstorage to fill the void between the tank and the raised bow box.
Plans for the rest of the week are to cut out the stringer tops and dig out the foam, recoat the tank, and create some pvc pipe/tarp cover to keep water out from here on out.
