Pics for Hammer

dam, that is a lot of work, you hoping to get her ready for the spring?

I found that my V was just setting on the stringers and that it poped out pretty easy. Why did you have to cut up so much of the inner liner before removing it. I used a pulley in a tree with a truck and just lifted it out and pused the trailer and bottom of boat out from under.

Think JeffX found that all the sprayed in foam, may have glued her together, making a theseperation more of a pain.

This whole task started as a transom repair. That's why the back of the liner is cut out (and it was my first time ::) ) The more I looked, the more I didn't like the rest of what I saw. Especially the foam because what I could get my hands on was soaked and nasty. This was mainly due to whoever put the foam in cut out a section of the floor between the seats and didn't do a good job putting it back together.

The two sections that have the 2x4s sticking out of them I cut because that's the area with the most and wettest foam which was acting almost like glue.

As for lifting it out, I don't have a tree to use, but I'm working on a solution. ;D

What I was asking about is that it looks as if you have cut the whole rim that goes around the top of inner liner. Its the section at the top of the inner liner that turn out then down where it screws into the hull.

Oh, you mean the cap! ;D That was just screwed on. I took it off when I first started the transom. I'm not sure what year yours is, on my '71 the boat is three pieces: Cap, Inner Liner and Hull. When they raised the floor it looks like they combined the cap and inner liner.

Thats good I was worried that you cut the cap section off and was thinking that would be very tough to reproduce. That foam your taking out looks like the same foam that was standard in my hull. The only places it was is between the runners.

Hammer hang up, I keep trying to call and its busy.

Looks good Jeff, You definitely have your work cut out for you. I got to that point with my old V-20 but chickened out and took her to the crusher.

Working on a boat is always a good excuse for a couple of beers. Just wish it was some good beer. ;D
