great idea
Thanks, Skools out, I had not even considered that option. I would have to guess some sizeable enough opening would have to be made to removed the decayed matter. Either by some type of rod to break it up the suck out with shop vac or something of that nature. I know a website to get the 2-part mix. Tell me, I have never been under the floor of a V20, are all the voids between stringers, tanks and bulkheads foam filled? If not I would consider filling them just for extra insurance. The goal for this boat is to be my offshore/ coastal fishing machine. My current fishing machine is a 20' custom aluminum I built to fish up to 10-miles out in the gulf of mexico and the shallows in the marsh. It only has a 6" vee so its ride is compromised in the big water, but she can get on plane in 12", run in 4" all day long and if I really want to push it 0" for about 500', but I need water on the other side to get cooled off. The marsh fishing part is getting replaced by a flat with an air-cooled surface drive. I consider myself lucky, I put roughly 125-150 hours on my motor every year, that translates into a lot of fishing. And this V20 will see just as much use, so I want to do quality work on her so maintenance is minimized.
