Thanks macojoe, I was concerned about cutting the outer skin and the more research I've done I think your right, it's not the way to go. To get to the inner is a lot of work but seems the correct way if doing ply replacement. Brielly also suggested pourable and he is pleased with his own results using it. I am grateful for your thoughts, I'm glad to be here amongst experience and just want to get it right. The 225 was a steal at 2k with all controls, gauges, SST prop and low hours. I was looking for 150 - 175, but no luck combined with slight compulsive disorder lead to the ficht. I hope its not too heavy for the boat in the waves!. The back of the boat seems very open to water from rear, is there a mod to improve that or not necessary? I see people doing all kinds of stuff with closed cell foam and wondered if I could improve rear buoyancy in any way by using some in the side bilges. I will definitely set up a couple of big pumps to be safe, any recommendations?
