Default Started 20' upgrade and restore

Got some work done the past couple of days and I wanted to share because of all the knowledge that has been shared with me here. I removed all the rigging, console, bench seat, livewell. Then it was time to tear the decks out. This took about an hour to tear out. The only part of the deck that wasnt rotted was the outside perimeter where I ran the circular saw around. The only thing that was holding the decks together was the fiberglass on top. Someone who had no idea what they were doing tried to add fiberglass and some plywood slapped together to the stringers. The coffin for the gas tank was made out of pine 2x3s from home depot with nothing on them. I took 130 pounds of rotten wood out of the bilge and gas tank so called support. The foam in between the stringers was wet on the bottom so I took a spade shovel and made short work of that. The gas in the tank was the only thing holding it in place. The tank is only 4 years old and I am taking it back the tank builder and having it cleaned, tested and painted. To my suprise the transom is in great shape from what I can see and feel.

I plan on raising the decks 3 inches and fix the stringers to the transom. I plan on making the deck in a one peice mold. I plan on using marine ply where I need to mount stuff and core cell and other places to save on weight. Also large scuppers are in the plans.
