Got a HF multi tool and started cutting/trimming/hacking ...
Was hoping for a quick rear floor fix ... BUT ... aint happening ...
The hole for the speedo pilot tube wasn't sealed, maybe from day one or maybe after new motor was installed (about 1989 or 90) !
It's soft from tube hole down to bottom of transom, thought there would be rot around holes but it's shot !
Pulled wood out with just my hand and could have got more but battery is in the way ...
Abondoning "Plan A" and going to "Plan B" .... Just have to figure out what Plan B is now ... LOL
If my luck held out ... Could have had her cleaned up and ready to glass this weekend, the multi-tool makes quick work of glass and wood ...
Also forgot how much fiberglass itches !
