Default Just wanted to say "Hello."

My name is Jay. I live in Norther Virginia and I'm the new owner of a 77 V20 CC and 74 V20 hull. I'm hoping to end up with one completely sound vessel and then address the other. Great site here. Been poking around for a few days.

Hi Jay... Welcome aboard!!! Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable!! Lots of great folks and good skinny here... just ask if you need some advice. Good luck with your boats. Oh,...and we love boat porn, so pics are always in good taste.

Congratulations on owning one of the most versatile and well-designed hulls available. Show us what ya got so we can get an idea of what you are up against. A few us us are in the process of total rebuilds while others have been through the process multiple times.

Should I start with transom or wet foam and more than likely rotted stringers?

OH MY GOD, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, gas $3.57/gal. awesome.

I would start with the transom, once you are done with that, rip out and replace the stringers. Wet foam removal when you are waiting for stuff. My $29 4.5" Skil grinder with 24" grit sanding disks was my best friend and almost made it through the project.
