Wildman - I think I can hook you up with that hatch. I have one in my scrap pile that I was saving for a 122 gallon tank . . . that might never happen.

[Wildman]

Bigshrimpin I gave you a call yesterday.
This is the box I need a cover for.



Here is the console and windshield that will be up for sale, Best offer. I had thought I could use it, but I am going with my original one that fits my T top.

[Wildman]

More stuff I wont be needing that I will be putting up for sale.
The stainless trim piecs for around the transom, they have nice turning in them most are very flat.

[Bigshrimpin]

Been ordering parts and figuring out my deck's lay-out the last couple weeks.

I had a few minutes in the evenings last week so I thought I would give the hull a good buffing. The old gellcoat shined up nicely!

Most of the white junk is coming off easy. The tape lines from old Shrink wrap jobs are proving difficult, but its not too bad. One side is totally done and I started the other side.

[Wildman]

Can I remove this bulkhead and replace it with a one piece unit without pulling the cap off the boat?

[Wildman]

Got most of the junk and water out of the hull, and tore up the (rotted) 1/4in thick gas tank shelf. This will be replaced with strips of Penskie board laminated with glass.



I also tore out the front bulkhead as it was not glassed over and the bottom had started to rot. This will also be replaced with Penskie. I left 2in 'cleats' on the sides to glue the new board to.

The keel stringer is wet and the top 1/2in is rotted. They NAILED a filler strip between the gas tank shelf and the keel, water got in and does what water does! I will be replacing it with a piece of PVC pipe cut in half and laminated over.

The shelves on eiher side of the keel in the furthest aft part of the boat (the orignal bait well used to sit here) will be rebuilt and I am planning on mounting my wash down and live well pumps on them. I also removed the old thruhulls and strainers from here today.

Can I remove this bulkhead and replace it with a one piece unit without pulling the cap off the boat?

NO, You will need to:

1.) Construct a new bulkhead using the old one as a pattern
2.) Cut out new hatch and any other holes
3.) Cut new bulkhead top to bottom @ centerline
4.) Install new in two pieces one side at a time
5.) Quick fair the two seams
6.) Sand, Paint & Caulk

I used 3/4" PVC Board
