rebuilding my V

[cterrebonne]

Well, I was able to get the cap off my boat today. Was not as bad as I thought it would be. A forklift sure is one of the handiest piece of equipment for the marine industry. I am glad my grand pa picked up a new one last week.

After removing the cap, I am pretty sure I found why the transom was flexing so much. In the pictures below you can see that the rear of the stringers are pretty much gone. Cracked in two places on each side. In addition to that, where they had knees installed, the part that the knees connected to were soft and were cracked also.
