I am so glad that Susan and Jerod were able to connect with all of you, and that you have the means and know how to repair her. I am the one who found her on Craigslist and thought at last, my dream metal flake boat and for a price I could afford! I can't begin to tell you how heart broken I was to get that call from Jerod but even more so by the boat repair guys near me who quoted me $3-5K to get her water worthy. I appreciate all the help this forum was able to provide me when I was in a quandry about what to do. If only I had that at my fingertips then I would have the boat and you wouldn't lol.   ::)

I would love to see her in person so will be watching for more information and news on Plan B.

So here is the latest update...  I've just ordered a Curt trailer hitch for my new car, so...  Hopefully in the next few weeks, the boat will be heading to Jason's garage repair shop!  I might pull out the seats today and see what I can see...

More to come!

Nice to hear from you...  I want you to know that I never would take a boat from someone, so I hope that there are no hard feeling that it ended up with me.  This club is a very tight group, and very willing to share information and bring new people into the group...  There are a lot of boats like this available, and I'm sure that the club will help you to find the perfect boat for you!

Cheers!

Must be in a heated garage if that's ice in his beverage on the back of the boat.

Actually no...  I brought the beverage out from in the house when I decided it was time to make the 1st steps...  I didn't last out there too long. BUT, the seats are in the basement now awaiting their vinyl treatment...  And the beverage is long gone!  :)

Ok...  Kate (my wonderful girlfriend) wants to get the project going...  Is anyone able to put together a boat fixing party this weekend?  I know there is a breakfast planned.  We could do it up here at my house in Wyoming, or I could pull it somewhere.

Let me know...  Send me a text at 6512605266 if your available!

Well, I've made some progress on the boat today.  I started getting the itch, and honestly haven't done anything on it in a long time.  I was able to pull the rest of the interior trim as well as the gas tank.  I cut out a section of the floor that was soft, and started picking at the underbelly.  It doesn't look too terrible, but I've gone as far as I can without some assistance / advice.  The main rot is in the bilge. I'm quite pleased that the stringers are in good shape.  The only bad spot is where the center stringer attaches to the cross member at the fore end of the bilge.  I sent gregg some pictures that hopefully he will be able to post for me...

Cheers!

Here are a few pictures of the progress I made today.  I'm really not sure how to go much further with the project since the transom and bilge look complex to me...  But, I'll do some cleanout tomorrow and see what comes up...

Email I sent to Brian with pictures of V-156 hulls ...


Brian

This is all the picture I have of V-156 hulls/stringers/bilge bowels/transoms.
Your floor drops down under splashwell for fuel tank to fit, but other then that looks the same as a V-156 ...
Maybe ....
LOL
Peel the fiberglass off bilge bowel and see what underneath it ...
Keep taking pictures as you go, will make it easier to remember when it comes time to put it back together.
