I was able to do some work to her today. I did some fiberglassing to the transom. Just one layer to cover up the arjay. I also started to remove the foam. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. A regular old shovel did the trick. I'll get in there tomorrow and remove the rest with a scraper that way I can start cutting the starboard stringer out to replace it. I thought I was going to replace every piece of wood in the hull, but after inspecting the main forward bulk head and stringers. I don't think I am going to remove them. They are solid as a rock and I will take a core sample out tomorrow just to be sure.
What I will do is add another bulkhead right aft of the large bulkhead in case rot does decide to show. I will also run another piece of ply along side the old stringer to the scarf joint to help with strength is rot shows up.
