Default T-top/floor redo

I hit the t-top ahile pulling it with the Tahoe. Idle only but it stopped the rig and truck in its tracks.. It ripped the floor and tweaked the top. I have managed to make the repairs.

Upon close investigation, the floor is made from Coosa and faired well. I did that during the rebuild many years ago. However, the impact pulled the liner loose from the stringers. The putty didn't hold.

I ground and glassed in two layers of 1708 wherever I could, tabbing the floor to the stringers. Access was great for the most part. I did take the console and t-top off but just slid it aside to make repairs. Unrigging this girl was not an option. Grinding down in the bowels of yer boat thru access hatches and holes in the floor. Well it ain't no fun and with a hurt back near impossible to make quick work of it. No pictures regrettably but the boat tested fine.

I used FCI Epoxy, 1708 and a woven cloth of some 6 to 8 oz. Finished the topside with EZ Poxy and some Texture agent.

If I had known, I couldhave brought you a bunch of fiberglass, resin, and hardener I've got leftover. I'll most likely never use it, and hate to see it sit and go bad.
