At the time I never thought about taking pics of the repair but at the time I did not know sites like this even existed. The repair was fairly easy to do which surprised me and I'd be more than happy to explain to anyone how we went about doing the job.

Great pic, Whop ... 8) ... was that taken after the dunkin'? ...

...looks like me 'n you postin' same time ... my question was about the 1st pic...2nd pic every boaters NIGHTMARE :P ...

First is the day I bought it. 3 years ago. Second was my nightmare. I'm now out of denial and trying to decide the big issue. Take two years and couple of 1000 $ and do everything myself. Motor runs great? I don't get it. If I was was in salt water for 5 days. I would puck pistons all over the place. I 'm going to get hold of the guy that redid the 83 and start collecting information for the job. Start with all the the sites and start the process of scronging parts and equipment to put it all together again. Transom and stringers are a must.

Good luck, Whop!! ...pics and info on how she comes along ...you know how we like 'em ;) :D ...

...glad to hear motor runnin' so good ... keep 'er pickled REEL good ;) ...

oh man..that is a nightmare! glad to hear the motor runs though!

WOW. :-[
How long was she under. Would the transom and stringers be comprised ?

Great pictures!! Now if you had a dome on there might have been the first V20 Sub!

We also rewired the boat and I have an easy method which just about anyone could do. I live in Suffolk Va. not far from you and would be more than glad to help with any info you would want. I did the job with help from two friend and none of us had never replaced a transom but we did have experience some experence with fiberglass. The job is not near as tough as it looks. Message me with your number and I'll give you a call. I had a 1994 150 Johnson on mine when it sank and its still running great after 5 years.
