you are right reel. The V20 has an exellent design and layout, but it was an entry level boat and Wellcraft tried to keep cost and labor expense down. You can tell by the way they cut into the stringers and laid up the glass they were pushing these out in a hurry. I kept thinking and I was suppose to go with Epoxy but I can get such a good deal on Poly that I am going to head that route. I like with the poly that I can go over layer over layer with out sanding by using no way poly and then spray some pain on top and be done with it.

Good job saving her! It'll be worth it down the road.

well I got my poly resin in last week and my glass is coming in this week. Hopefully I can get some work done to the boat this weekend. My plan is to pour in the transom before I start on the stringers.

That reminds me, I need to get some 1/2" PT ply to use to for my fuel tank bulkheads. I think 3/4 would be over kill.

I was able to get the inner all prepped. I put a layer of 1708 over the skin to stiffen it and to allow me to fit it in the hull a little better.
