1963 Sportsman Redo

[po1973]

Thanks OLD FISH GUY for the picture posting assistance. I've figured it out with your help!

This is the 1963 that I've been mentioning in previous posts. The last picture is the last time out on Medicine Lake in 2017. I noticed water leakage at the transom and parked it. Had red squirrels and raccoons living in it over the last couple years. I managed to get the 3 stringers out intact the other day and am now grinding on the tabbing. The transom came out as just 1/2 intact. I counted 64 holes in the transom--maybe a record?? Anyway, I stopped over to Express Composites with my son this afternoon and have nothing but complimentary things to say about Jim. We spent an hour or so in the shop collecting materials and picking up bits of knowledge as we went. Got resin/hardener, biax, chopped strand. I'll be posting more as I go.
