The wood was so wet that there were mushrooms growing under the floor and the mold made me sick for a week!

is this a current project or done in the past?

by OB-1 on 23rd March 2009, 9:38 pm

Unfortunately it is a current project. It went to fiberglass for new stringers, floor, and transom a long time ago and is back sitting in my driveway.
I built a new balanced small block for it and bought a Volvo Duo-prop outdrive for it also.
Now i just have to get around to putting it all back together!!!

Nope, I have done it to other boats in the past and it's a miserable job!!!
Too messy, Too smelly, Too much work!!
Besides I had the fiberglass guy in fill the hole from the old outdrive and re-gelcoat the transom. I also had to have him repair the bottom of the boat where I cut through the hull during the demolition phase.
