Default My 20ft Potter SF....

Previously put a couple of pics in the photo page but figured I would move it over here. I am pretty much neck deep with new foam core stringer, random repairs, and the new floor soon to be installed.
The boat was a nightmare after cutting into her with 3 floors stacked on top of one another and some other significant damage. I am going to make a template of the cap, cut down the shearline instead of rebuilding it, and trash the cap!
I believe she will be an open floor plan all the way through since I am working with a clean slate...no forward deck.
Everything new will be foam...no wood.
The guys working on her found an unopend bag of Lay's original, expiration 1984 under the floor!
An estimated 600+ pounds of wet wood and foam have been removed...hard to believe she ran over 40 kts with all that crap in the belly!
As i pull together some NEW pics I will post em up.
As I said before, I am not doing the work myself. The work is being done in Charleston.

Here are a few pics....the transom is in, the new floor height is set, and the floor will go in real soon!
For some reason I have never been able to load pics to the site...don't really know why cause no issues on any other!
Anyway, link to transom, stringers, and new switch panel by newwiremarine.com pics....NO WOOD!

Just click the .img code in the box by each picture on Photobucket then right click to paste on this page. Looking good. I like the switch panel.

Nice jig you fellas built for the hull! You guys mean business. The foam looks neat and pretty and it last a long time....but wood is not the devil

You woulda thought it had you seen the junk that came out of her!
Being in the wood business myself, I would agree !

The new floor has been dry fitted and in two pieces. We decided to fill the pockets b/w stringers with foam and made channels and drains so water can escape if it ever finds its way beneath the foam.
The floor will go down in the next couple of days then up the sides!
