Funny thing about my house,
after we moved in, my wife did some research,
cause she knew her family was from the area,
and found that the house was built and lived in by a distant uncle.
Amazing how some things come full circle.

Thats the stuff and looks to be the answer to his problem. Also an easy fix.

Hay Jeff, You may want to watch this rebuild as it is very similar to yours;

Jeff, lets get er done. You got a boat to fish out of, so lets get to work. Since your this far along, I'd just replace the stringers if there is any question.

3/4" plywood, ACX, would be as good a core material as you'll find. Your concern over twisting is very valid. I'm thinking that you could do one stringer at a time without the hull deforming on you. Look into prices at shopmaninc.com for epoxy prices. May as well look at 30 gallons. If you glass in that wood, she'll not rot in your liftime.

Good Luck, we are here as your support group.

Thats a great job that guy is doing!! looks like he has thought everything out well!

Thanks pikfish, I enjoyed looking at that, Don';t want to do it but liked looking at it! ;)

Hey Jeff, I live close to ya and would be happy to come by and give you some advice/help. I have done a similar rebuild. It was fun, a lot of work but I am sure you can do it and more than likely your workmanship the first time you try it will be 3 times better than the sloppy factory work. Also I may be able to help with materals.

Buy BR's V20, Buy Randleman's engine, Keep your V20 for parts, an artificial reef, or a large flower pot! ;D
