Not doing a hull extension, just too much work for me.
Cleaning out the garage. Ugh. My garage has posts down the middle supporting the roof. Leaves me 116" between post and wall. My V20 is 96" at her widest and 86" at the stern. Going to be a tight fit with the posts. Contemplating building 2x12 beams so I can take the posts out. Oh and this thing is full of spiders. I hate spiders.....

in my building i used 2 x 12, 3 together and made them go 24 feet long, then used 3 steel columns, one on each end, and one in the middle. thats what holds up my 2nd floor.
you can see them here

Mj that was my plan but no middle column. Instead I turned the V20 around on the trailer with the bow pointing backwards and backed it into my garage. Now the stern is facing the garage door and I do not have to walk all the way around to get in. Seems like a good plan so far.

Been busting foam out. I used a trenching shovel and got 3/4 of the foam out in about an hour. Getting ready for work so had to call quits for now. The V has blocks under the stern and one about 8' back from the bow. Also have screw jacks on each side at this locations for stability. Need to add more blocking before I tear the stringers out. Hopefully I can avoid a hook this way.

After discovering bubbles in the gelcoat on the bottom I almost gave up on her. I have Patriot Yacht Services coming by to look at the bubbles. Hopefully with his advice it wont be a nightmare. I looked at several V20 center consoles today. All had rotten floors and busted hatch lids. Sellers wanted $1000-$1500 just for the boat alone. All had some stringer rot. One was so bad I offered him $300 and he pretty much told me to leave. So back on my V20. I got her flipped over and back in the garage. At least it will be easier now to work on the bottom. I am going to paint it while its flipped. Interlux VC epoxy, over an eppxy barrier coat. This V keeps getting closer and closer to a death sentance but somehow everytime she wins me back over. Gonna be a brand new boat when I am finished.

To fix I would think its not that bad?? You will have to grind all the bubbles then re gel-coat it. But after all you have done and learned I think you can do it!!
Good Luck

That performance vc is a great product, painted about 4 coats with 30 minutes between coats and sanded down to my desired finish. Used a2000 for a primer because I had exposed fibers from my hull being in such bad shape. I sprayed a nice thick coat, sprayed with black spray paint, sanded with and orbital sander with 120 grit and then block sanded the low spots until all the black paint was gone. Repeated that process 4 times to get a great fair finish. Probably not necessary to do that many coats below the waterline but if you paint above the waterline with a gloss finish completely necessary.

Good info Tartuffe! What Patriot discussed with me for repair is to open EVERY BUBBLE (>1000), sand with 120, give it a good wipe down, then fill with thickened epoxy, fair with 3m underwater epoxy filler, then paint.
