Ok, sorry I'm a little late, but here's where I'm at this weekend: I finally got my "cranes" ::) put together and set up, lift the inner liner out from the hull and put the hull in the driveway so I could get it cleaned out. Once I started working on / inspecting the hull I found a few things that are going to have to be addressed. First, four of the outer bulkheads have seperated from either the hull or stringers. Second, there are spots on the stringers where the glass is not stuck to the wood. Third, the moister trapped by the foam for so long seems to have taken a small toll on the fiberglass.

So, can fiberglass go bad?

Anyway, enjoy the pics!


Poor man's crane in action.


I was a little nervous about whether or not I was going to get it high enough


It cleared!!!!


Inner Liner safely on the ground.


Bulkhead seperated... I have a few more pics of others that are seperated, but once you've seen one, you've seen them all.... ;D


Here's a pic of all the crap I had to get out of it. The lesson here is if your going to put foam in a boat make sure you understand what areas you need to leave open so water wont get trapped.


I was able to get most of it cleaned out. Hopefully I'll have time to get the little stuff out tomorrow and then take it to a pro and get some estimates (or laughed at...)



Per MJ's request I kept my mug outta this round of pics! :P
