			Fldivebum, Thanks for the detailed explanation of how you got the top cap up and off the boat. I don't have a forklift or big tree in the backyard to use so that definitely helped. I'll be in Florida the first week of 2017 - taking the family to Pensacola Beach area for some R & R and some ocean fishing. Merry Christmas to you and to all on this forum.

			Slight de-rail Redloon, our water temps are still pretty warm, so don't pass up the chance to do some surf fishing. Bring a long spinning rod and set up while kids play on the beach. Some of the largest pompano & whiting are cruising the sandbars this time of year. |

			Phatdaddy, Yeah - I plan on bringing a couple of surf rods. I'll be out on the Pensacola Beach pier and the Navarre pier also. We did this a few years ago and had fun with the bonito and trying to keep them away from the sharks once you caught one. My kids are both over 25 so they will be there right alongside me fishing. I've been following the Pensacola Fishing Forum and am looking forward to this.

			Redloon, Just logging back into v20 since the new year. Just returned from a New Years Cruise with the family. You are welcome for the procedures for top cap removal. I researched several methods and the one I came up with was the most cost effective at the time. It worked out great. Wish I had been on here sooner. You could have stopped by and seen the boat separated and how bad things were rotted and the bad fiberglass job from the factory. At the moment, I have all the foam removed and all the center bulkheads removed as well. Weather has not been good lately and have not been able to work on it. Unfortunately, I do not have a shelter or building to work on the boat. |
