My “new” ski locker cover came in today. I bought this because the boat no longer had one after they replaced the floor. The UPS dricer said that I got the prize for the strangest package of the day. I also epoxied and glassed the transom.

It was a VERY busy day today. I removed the floor and checked out the stringers. They were repaired with wood clamped on either side and covered in some sort of black goo. Time to completely replace those too. I may as well, I’m in it this far already. I cut the top off of the stringers and removed all of the old rotten wood. I made new stringers and epoxy coated them and stuffed them in

I painted the inside of the hull down in the ski locker. I also cut and fit the floor pieces (by that I mean cut and fit, cut some more and fit, cut some more and fit, etc.) and epoxy coated the bottoms then fit the pieces into the hull.

Wow! What a busy day. This is what 8+ hours can do. I started out by glassing the floor to the hull. Then I cut the hole for the ski locker.

Then came the buildup of the “knees” on the transom. More cut and fit, cut some more and fit, cut some more and fit, etc. I finally got it to a good place so I put it all together, glassed it all in and put the lid on it. I also finished epoxy coating the floor and removed the braces.

The carpet showed up just in time so that was next. I laid it in and started cutting. When I had it cut to shape, I glued it in. I also primed the rear area and am going to paint that maroon tomorrow and clean the aluminum frame of the ski locked before I screw that down.

The carpet is in and I painted the rear area today. I painted it with Rust-o-leum burgundy so it somewhat matches the carpet. Then it was time to put the roof back on. It was a delicate job but the top was finally rejoined with the bottom. The rub rail aluminum trim really has a lot of screws.

The stern fit together pretty well and the carpet looks pretty good. Then it was time to reinstall the rubber rub rail. Wow! That’s quite a job!
