CONGRATULATIONS, Destroyer!!...

My only question is WHY IS THIS POST IN OFF TOPIC??...Man this should be top of the list!!...

Bow appears in good shape. From what the seller told me the po had it shrinkwrapped every year but never drained the floor or left vents in the wrap, so it was constantly wet underneeth the floor over the winters....hence the rot. While the floor is off I'm also going to join the rearmost stringers (one on each side) to the stern engine bracket. There's a gap of about one half inch between the two, so I'm going to fill the gap and then put on 2 layers of mat. That way the stern will have extra strength to handle the 200's hp. Hell, it should be able to handle a 275 without a whimper.
