'77 Sceptre Rebuild

Thanks newell.
From the Looks of it I think you know what you're doing.You'll be happy that you recored the deck.I didn't as it didn't seem that bad,but now I've developed a soft spot in front of the windshield.
I can't help with Coosa info,but the one mistake(besides not recoring the deck) I made, was not sealing the hull to deck cap joint before I replaced the rub rail.
I was always finding a small amount of water in the bilge,and finally traced it to the hull to deck joint getting doused in rough water.We found water running down inside the cabin from the the seam of the hull/deck.
Don't make the same mistake I did.

If the boat wasn't a six hour drive from home,I'd be up there removing the rubrail and sealing that joint.I'm still kickin myself for that error.

Keep the pictures coming on your project.

Well we've moved on to the deck/ sole of the boat this week. We've been able to remove the floor and about 500 lbs of "Potter Putty"!! Since these pics were taken I've ground down the stringers some to remove the remaining globs of putty. I believe we're gonna lay another layer or two of mat down on top of the stringers (for piece of mind) mainly and where I got kinda deep with the grinder also.
