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.

I tried four times to upload pics. Not happening. Kracker my stringers are not attached either. Yet they are cut perfectly to match the transom curve. Do i need to leave this last layer in the transom for lifting and moving the boat or can i remove it?

Ok I am bored. Rest of the plywood is coming out. Also cut the lifewell off the bottom of the cap. It has a half inch of either insulation or a composite material around it. So it might actually be an insulated fishbox and not a livewell.
