Well the boat has come a long way since the last pics.
I have not only repaired the stringersystem but re-joined it all to the hull with the epoxy stuff, then filled the
large voids with foam then put the one piece fibreglass floor back down.
The space between the two inner and out sheels that make up the boat have been filled with closed cell foam
so the bouyancy should not be too much of a worry and the strength and ridigity will be better anywa
The fender rubber is now on but still needs around 10 screws to finnish that off properly.
The steering consol is bolted back on and also the engine is back where it belongs,on the transom ha ha
all the controls are back on and i even remembered to make two new battens for the controls board
(the original old one rotted away and looked crap).
The boat just last week looked like it was not going to ever be looking right,i was getting a bit dispondant about
the whole thing ever looking or being right.
Once the floor was back in everything changed big time, i could now see a boat again and not a heap of fibreglass.
here is a few follow up pics that i took of the boat comming back to life.
Floor back in
Its all down and sealed and screwed down
consol and seats placed in
new remote controld wood battens screwed on.(there is wood behind fibreglass to take the screws)
