Well, I dragged the hull to a fiberglass shop and was heartbroken. Instead of giving me a dollar estimate to replace the stringers, bulkheads and transom they said it would be cheaper to buy a new boat... While I think that may be a little over exaggerated, it leads me to believe that no pro is going to give me a price I'd be comfortable with. So, I'm at a crossroad. Do I continue on with this "adventure" that has cost me more in materials just to build things to take the boat apart, or is it time to cut my losses? I'm leaning towards continuing on, but that means having to build a cradle (to be dubbed "operation drydock" ;D ) to support the hull to keep it from twisting once the old stringers are removed. Right now I kinda wonder how out of shape it might already be with some of the bulkheads already seperated...

So I'll put it to a vote. What do yall think? Keep going, or throw in the towel?

If I continue, do I have any local volunteers to help (or heckle)?

Kajun, I haven't forgotten your offer and I might be calling in the near future.
