Default Re: 23 CC minty green! Pipe Dream?

I live down the road from you in wellfleet, and have driven past with a bracket'ed 77 23 in tow a few times. I have my bulkhead out in 2 pieces, and will be using it as a template, so if you cant get yours out in good shape you have backup. i will be doing the 3/4" pvc approach. winter project . my bulkhead was not bonded to the cap and provided no structural beni that i could see, had 2 screws holding it in place on inside corners,some calking, and I saw-zalled it out in 2 pieces. add a couple foot stomp beat downs and it popped pretty clean-nuff to use as a template. would have never replaced it but went to re-wire the bow light and my weight crumbled the bulkhead bottom under door area, only thing holding it together on bottom edge was awlgrip.

i can look up where i sourced the 3/4" pvc if you want...it was a pain in the butt, first company shipped me 3/4" starboard and i was pissed and had to eat frieght on their mistake.

I got the keel stringer out last night, totally wet and they had drilled some 1/2in holes through it. It was cracked where these holes were.



The Transducers were a joke. I chopped the glass out around them and then pounded them out with a hammer. Nothing but some 5200 holding them in. The glass didnt even wrap around the open end of the stringer, I am pretty sure this is how it got so wet.

Not much pic worthy stuff to post, but I did get all 6 Carbs on my motor straightened out, and fogged it for the winter. NOw I can take it off the old boat and put it on the pallet (inside storage) for the winter.
Also confirmed that the stator isnt messed up and its charging at 13.5vt.
My Penske board will be here on Thurs along with a bunch of resin and 6in 1704 Tape. Gota get to grinding!

I did get my tanks coated and ready to drop in.
