X2 exactly correct. Slow and steady wins the race.

I removed all the foam today,it was pretty wet at the stern,probably due to the deck drains emptying onto it.lol

thanks for all the words of support

Liam you're gonna be really pleased w/the finished boat once you're done...all the work will be well worth it...

The '86 Cuddy I've got in the For Sale section needs about this same level of work and will be a great boat once it gets this kind of TLC...


Like Wolfe said, keep the pics coming...looks like a great project to keep up with...

Removed the motor today, it was a breeze. Although the oil pan appears to have quite a few jb weld patches on it. Looks like I will be replacing that. The front motor mount adjustment is seized beyond repair also.
Motor mounts seem to be in plentiful supply on ebay , not too many oil pans around though, seems they are discontinued.
I will add more pics once I get the transom plate out.

Most of those pans are just truck pans I think. Try taking yours to a junkyard & see if you can find a match.

Yes they are, A friend of mine may have one for me.

I removed the transom plate yesterday.Remarkably the wood around the key hole was still solid,the transom where the stringers tie in,not so good. There was also a kicker motor on the boat at some point,delaminated there also. Hope to start cutting next weekend,meanwhile I will work on removing 40 years or grease from the tansom plate
