Seacraft Surgery 2

[strick]

Thanks for all the nice comments fellas. I'm in deep as you can see from the pictures. I had to use a air chisel to get all the putty off the transom and floor were the bait tank was bonded to the hull. Lucky for me the transom is in excellent shape so I wont have to replace it. I'm going to add a sheet of 3/4 inch marine ply to the transom for support due to the size of the bracket I'll be putting on it. The Ply will be sealed with epoxy and cabosiled in place then laminated to the transom. Probably wont get to it till this weekend and it's supposed to rain [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

I've posted some more pics for you to see. Note the butcher job that the previous owner had done installing outrigger cleats. Also note the holes in the hull were the fittings for the bait tank were. Someone had plugged the one nearest the gas tank with polyester resin ... thats right no fiberglass.... just poured some resin over the 1.5 inch diameter hole to seal it. I gave it a small tap with the air chisel and it broke off easily [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

That said I'm glad that Im going over the whole boat... at least I'll know what I've got when I'm done.
