18 ft rebuild
Dave,
I am doing rebuild on same hull as yours. Intersting to see the top of stringers cut and foam exposed the same as mine. I found water in the very bottom of mine all the way forward to bow.
The gap between the top of stringers and bottom of the deck was between 3/4" and 1". I dug out all the old foam and raised the top of stringer so there was about a 1/8" gap between the new deck. I debated raising the deck 2" to make it self bailing. I'm 6'2" and decided not to because my knees did not feel comfortable above the gunnell.
I am going to run my wires from the motor to console using the existing channel on the starboard side. I forgot to measure the location of the opening next to the fuel tank well.
Will you do me a big favor and measure the length of the opening and the distance for outside of transom to aft end of the opening
thank you
