Well, after a month or so of work and repair

Everything you are saying makes perfect sense to me. I don’t see how it would get too bad. A friend of mine had mentioned pulling it out of the water and just going around and taping it to see if we could hear any tone differences, as to indicate soft spots in the hull. I think it is a long shot as well on the hull delaminating. I would bet that if anything it is only around the area of the transducer mount. The guy at the repair shot did say that he thought she still had a few good years in her. I just get nervous when I hear people talk down on the boat I have not had long enough to know better. I see that so many people restore these boats. There has to be a reason!

Thanks,
Chris

BTW: She made it through the night with out sinking wOOt wOOt!
