Which inner skin are you referring to? *If you are talking about the transom inner skin, *this is the pic I took after cutting the perimeter with a grinder. *

I then took a flat bar and pried the skin loose from the core. *It came right off where the wood was rotten. *Where there was still good wood I had to beat the bar in with a hammer, but it would still pop off pretty easy. *If you look closely you can see thie skin sections I cut out on the ground behind the ladder.
I am in the process now of removing all the old core(plywood) from the transom. :P




I do think I will pull the tank out. *I have pressure tested it, and it tests good. *But, I think with all the extra room there is forward of the tank,

I might look into putting a 100gal tank in there. ;D

Reel, I haven't decided yet on what to do about the stringers. I will have to see how far up the water goes. I am gonna do the transom first, and then work my way forward.
