New V-20 project

[Curapa]

Not much in the way of pics today. I've been fairing the fish box and I got the anchor storage glassed in. I should be able to put some bilge paint in it tomorrow.

The console is about ready for glass. I am making a large door for the front so I can access the batteries and wiring much easier. Every boat I've had in the past has been a pita to access.

Ya gonna put a foot well and storage in the door?

Thanks...guess I got in too big a hurry...I really like what On The Fly did...lost a lot of weight and dropped HP...bet it's a pretty efficient ride...

I have gotten the transom stripped down to bare glass. I was surprised at the thickness of the outer skin. Just waiting on my epoxy to come in to get started.

I also found a deck plate that goes to the foam filled bulkhead. Must have been a genius that put that in. The foam is wet as can be..

I'm having fun tearing out foam. The shovel seems to work best for the most part. Once the foam is out I'll be replacing the stringers and bulkheads. Since the boat is still on the trailer I plan to take it slow and methodically to avoid mis-shaping the hull. The trailer has four bunks that are lined up with the strakes and seem to fully support the hull but I'm not taking any chances. The plan thus far is to only remove a portion of one stringer at a time, epoxy the new stringer in and move to the next. I'll start with the rear 8' of each side.

I see what you have been up to. Very nice. I too used a shovel on the foam. It chunked out nicely, wasn't wet either.
