I think three guys could move it around but I'm not sure if three guys could safly flip it over without putting stress on the sides. One thing you will need to do is some how support the flooring making sure it does not sag while reparing it up side down. We then took fiberglass resin and the newly cut flooring and screwed it to the bottom of the flooring. After it dries remove the screws and cover the wood with fiberglass. then we flipped it over and patched the screw holes.

I did not have any issues getting it back together and everything lined up just fine. With that said I only did stringer repairs in the very back section of the boat. If I rember correctly I did go around the topp of the hull with some new fiberglass to give me new a stronger holes to screw the linner to. I wish I would have taken picture of this job.

I don't think a 1970 has an inner liner, has it?

Burt, is that you?

Very nice obscure reference. SNL Celebrity Jeopardy is the best!
