My same thoughts FF. I do like that hull, I see why you wanted it - will be a nice ride when you are done.

You doing anything to the outer hull, or is the gel in good shape ?

You really are gutting it Mike! Wow, I guess there was ALOT of rot.
You have a long road ahead of you. good luck

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Freak - how about black - where the upper is blue now, then white, then black bootstripe, with black bottom paint ??? I assume you'll keep it in the water all season.

Van; look into something like this, then add the hard top if that's what you'd like. Save yourself a bundle and have a better made boat.

I agree, the whole transom above the waterline should be a freakflag.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
