Thanks for the clarification
Yeah, I know what you mean; my b.s. alarm was going off when I read it as well. I'll let the source know. THanks for the reference.
BTW, your refit photos are great. My '74 has some soft spots in the floor, and your post supplies solutions. Don't know if I'll get to it, but it's nice to have the know-how right there. Question: Did you add any flotation when you had the floor open? My '74 is pretty obviously a sinker, and I've felt like I want to add some.

Thanks, but I actually don't really know what I'm doing. Mostly I find a thread and pictures on this forum before I do anything to the V. So far it's going good. More pics coming this weekend, as I start to get the boat put back together.
I did not add foam, but I only had a small part of the floor open. I'm pretty sure that foam would actually decrease buoyancy (spelling?) because you're adding weight to the hull, but would provide for flotation if the boat flips. Not sure what's more important, but I guess it'd be nice to have a vessel to hold onto if you're floating in the Atlantic. Eventually I'll replace or remove and clean the gas tank & I'll replace that foam when I do. Sounds like it's probably waterlogged by now, from what others have found.
