" The first cut is the deepest."

[linesider36]

After removing all hardware and transom boxes and going to my local SeaCraft guru (FAS) for some reassuring motivation I dug in armed with a skill saw, Sawsall, hammer, 2 wonder bars,size extra extra large screw driver, and all the appropriate safety gear. It was hot as hell but I got a lot done. Tomorrow I attack all the rot thats behind the edges I left. Most important info. I got from FAS was You can always make the cut bigger, you can't make it smaller, so thats why 4" edges all the way around. More to follow.
