well, zul8tr and unseasonably warm weather have motivated me a little. I could not find the oxylic acid, but i did try some wood cleaner with hydroxide and bleach and gave it a shot. I am pretty happy, It did make the grey wood much brighter. Now I need to get to cuttin my framing and ordering my epoxy.

Also called wood bleach under brand name of Savogran at ACE hardware
If you solved your wood issue great, but if near ACE look into the wood bleach if you want possiblly better results.

update...I cut some frame ribs this weekend to scarf into the existing ribs that were rotted towards the bow. Hopefully this will work for what I want to do. once I decide on the bow piece I can profile it and the ribs so the okume ply lays nice on it.

I had to surgically replace this frame rib inside the left sponson. I hand fit this piece, soon I will epoxy in place.

I know this thread is 2yrs ago, but I hope he fixed up that Martin 200! That is the engine I would restore for that hydro. It is fast and DIFFERENT!! There's just too many mercs around and that kinda raises the "boring" factor a bit at times for me when I go to a show.
