Pics for Hammer

Well, I was hoping to get some work in on the V this morning. I need to get the inner liner out before I can really get anything else going. Unfortunatly it hasn't warmed up as much as I'd like so I figured I'd take a few Pics for Hammer.... Maybe he'll cut Randleman a little slack for the next 5 minutes ;D

I get the feeling I'm doing this the hard way....



That's ice in the bildge :-[


Inner Liner partially seperated from Starboard stringer



Inner Liner partially seperated from Port stringer



Looking foward from the back..... uh, I mean aft... or something...



Enjoy!

Well, it's warmed up some and I got to it! Unforunatly the more I get to it, the worse it gets! Previous owner(s) did their fair share of butchering this poor boat and now I'm paying the price... The foam I found earlier is most likely the work of a "handyman" ... I've found more of it and it doesn't appear anyone put iny thought to the fact that they were blocking the drainage of the bilge leaving any water that got through their horrible patchwork nowhere to go....expect to be absorbed by the foam.... now it's nasty!

This is where someone cut the center out to put in the foam... I think this is adding to my greif in getting the inner liner out



This is the center.... I didn't have to cut anything, I simply pried it out.... With as much as I'm using the crowbars on this boat I might need to change my username to "crowbar"....and/or make that the name of the boat...



Here's the crap I got out from it...



This is where a previous owner cut out the front of the cuddy so they could put those hoses in as well as foam as much as they could reach... Fortuantly that foam was dry...



Last but not least, here is the makeshift brace they used... It looked like they used 3" drywall screws and they filled in the heads of the screws, but didn't seal around the cut... Again, liberal use of crowbar required... Of course that just added to the list of things I'll have to fix!



At least I have more pics!!!

Hey Reel, at this point I'm going for a boat that will float... Once I get this thing apart and see what I really have to work with I'll figure out how much I want to do is daydream'n vs what's realistic... ;D
