Got the cuddy liner out. It is not going back in. I can do better than that...... I hope. I have hammer tested everywhere in the boat. The only solid member left is the piece in the bow that is v shaped. So everything will have to come out.

Jason that's some GREAT WORK!...that's just what my '84 needs...I'm surprised to see that much foam!...as ya put it all back anticipating bigger HP, just remember you can put it back STRONGER no doubt...but more weight is more weight and it may tend to squat w/too much.
So yer gonna rebuild inside of cuddy from scratch?...and if yer gonna leave out the floor well, can you move the bulkhead forward and go w/a bigger (longer) fuel tank?...

Reel that is my plan. I want to go to a 100 gallon fuel tank. Should be 2/3rds longer than the stock tank. I could not believe how good of condition my tank was. I am still debating tank placement. It seems my floor is good in the cap so I almost want to keep the tank in the rear just because I have the access to it. I thought the cuddy top deck was rotted out, its not. One of the supporting members that runs all the way across in front of the slide had broke loose. I discovered that when I pulled the carpet out. I am also pondering a pilot house build and worried about too much forward weight if I move the fuel tank forwards. When I stick it all back together the cap is getting glassed to the hull. I was quite suprised too about the foam in her. I thought that someone on here said they only sprayed around the edges of the cap from the rodboxes?

Got a little free time and removed the glass over the transom core. I think for its age the transom is in ok shape. I was expecting worse. But the only bad areas are where holes were drilled. Yet the top engine mount holes had no soft. Trying to remove the plywood now.
Here are a few pics. Notice how much was cut off the stringers where they attach to the transom. And still trying to figure out the hole above the bilge plug hole.
