Default 1975 MA 20' Restore...

Hello All,

I am new to classic seacraft. Right now I am in the middle of rebuilding my MA. So far I have removed the gas tank, the bow rail, the rub rail, the console, all of the rigging and engine, and the gunwale. The under side of the upper gunwale was all rotted and falling apart, so I have cut all of it and am re-glassing it in with Air Ex Balsa Core. I will be sealing it with woven roven on both sides to make sure it is fully sealed. I have also cut out the area on the deck that comes up and attaches to the gunwale. That was all water-logged/rotted out... I have also removed the step up in the bow. My plan is to make the deck all level. I have also cut the deck out in front of the console bc I want to make a coffin cooler off of the front of the console. Not sure if anyone has any pointers but I will gladly take them as this is the first project I have done of this size. IM going to post some of the pics...

Welcome to CSC NIPPAH
May I suggest now that your cap has been removed, you support the hull sides so it's shape is maintained.
Replacing & fitting the cap will be much easier
Good luck with your rebuild.
