Got some good info and solid advice from OleRed today, so I have a good plan of attack for this project.
Hoping to get the motor out in the next few days, then I can finish removing what's left of the Volvo drive. After that I will be getting ready to take the top half of the hull off. Hoping to get the new transom, stringers and floor in fairly quickly, then I will be past all the tear down, and into the rebuilding stage, and that's where I do my best work, and start puting in serious hours on getting it done. Will it be ready for the meet? Doubtful, but, anything's possible!
I found some interesting things so far... When I removed the floor patch (pressure treated, not good!) I found rotted stringers that someone had bolted 2X4's on either side of with large carriage bolts, and had strips of lenoleum between the floor patch and the stringers. Not sure if they were trying to protect the rotted wood, or the treated...? The glass peeled right off it, and the treated wasn't glued down, and was installed with drywall screws! Also found a 2X3 just laying in the hull under the floor.
So the rest of the floor is out up to the kick panels, the interior is on the burn pile, and I am ready to get the rot out!
