The boat has definitely been touched before... There are 2x4 pieces of wood all around the perimeter of the hull just under the gunnel where the floor was resting. In the wood were wood screws. Also, the forward box stringers were cut open and exposing foam. There were also cutting wheel cuts that run the length of the box stringers that wasnt caused by me since I cut out around close to the edge of the gunnel walls.
There was also a half sheet of raw plywood sitting up underneath the floor when I did pull it up.
Oh, and the scuppers were about 3-4" deep.
I was wondering about the foam... Sit it is ok to run the boat with the foam filled stringers only??? I'd definitely like to keep all of that extra foam out if the rebuild if I can.
You would have also thought there would have been some sort of rear bulkhead to enclose the fuel tank. All that was separating it from the bilge area was a large block of raw foam you see in the pictures I posted.
