Re: 2ndchance / JeffX
Great job!!!!
That doesn't look all that bad!! We have seen worse thats for sure!! The foam blocking the water from getting out is a common problem!! A lot of guys that have replaced there gas tanks have found the same problem. What a nice crane!! I think you should disassemble it in the end and then ship to the next guy that needs it, and then that guy do the same and so on!! ;)

Re: 2ndchance / JeffX
Thanx all for the words of inspiration! Reel, my V is a '71. The reason I'm farming out the structural stuff is so that it's done right. The last thing I fiberglassed was a ding repair on my surfboard almost 20 years ago. I don't want the learning curve to start with the structural components. Besides, there's some other things on the hull I want a pro to look at just for peace of mind.
btw, no engineering background here... I'm just a telephone geek trying to figure out what the coyote would do in my shoes ;D Next I'll be strapping on an ACME rocket.... ::)

Re: 2ndchance / JeffX
Keep up the good work Jeff. The stringers don't appear to look that bad to me. Was your floor soft? Or to re-phrase the question, what led you to believe the stringers were bad in the first place?
I've often wondered about the stringers on my '73 since there is no good way to inspect them short of tearing up the floor. I feel sure theres some delamination in there to some degree, but if they are rotten the floor sure is strong because I've jumped, bounced and banged all over it and can't find any spongy or weak spots. :-/ Nice work! You're gonna be a pro at this!

Re: 2ndchance / JeffX
On my 73 I have wood paticals coming out of the bilge, some of them as big as a small coffe stirrer. Floor is still strong. I think that there are three bulkheads that connect stringers and give strenght to the fish boxes in the floor. I won't know untill I peel the floor up or go the way of separating the clamshell top from bottom.
