I personally don't have an answer on the reinforcements. I put the flotation boxes back in my cvx18 and plan on the same for my Intimidator.

Jeff put in removable walls...pretty sure and doug took out the floatation boxes and used plywood to reinforce that area.

I cut into the corner floatation boxes and took out all the foam just to make sure there was no moisture or water. Plan to fiberglass back the cut out wall pieces, fill both corners with new foam (Ole Red says "Great Stuff" is okay), and paint the corner boxes and inside of the transom.

My boxes were already separating from the hull.  You've seen my reinforcement already.  I have no plans to put the boxes back in.

I have used the "Great Stuff " for several years, but the last time I went to get some I realized they have come out with several different formula's .. not the same stuff, be sure to get the "Red" can that says it set's up rigid, there other formula's not thats more like insulation, plyable, and the black can for bigger gaps .. I used the formula that sets up rigid, and I don't use the "nozzel" that comes with the can,  I drilled 1/4 holes, stuck the spout on the can right into the 1/4 hole and pushed down, the can is emptied in about 10 seconds that way, I also have just slipped a little boxed end wrench over the spout on the can, pulled down on the wrench, kinda like a trigger, and shoot that stuff several feet up into area's I couldnt reach.
The "Geat Stuff" will set up under water, it forms a "skin" over itself that water will not penetrate, but once that "skin" is broken, and submerged, it may absorb water, I don't know that for sure, but most foams will soak up water eventually, I make a lot of effort to keep water out of area's I fill with foam.

I use another kind of foam now, it called "Secure Set"  it's made here in Edmond Ok, designed to set telephone poles, fence post and flag poles, absolutely water proof, and begins expansion in a minute.  two part formula, 50/50 mix for about 30 seconds, pour it in where ya want it, it expands 13 times it's voulmn in just a few minutes.  The Secure Set foam sets up so rigid you can hardly break it with a hammer.

Are you kidding me!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I literally put great stuff in my floor yesterday and now I hear about some better stuff.  Ah well....looks like it's secure set on my next boat.

Did you guys take out the copper line or there just wasn't one. Also to turn the tank so it is fore and aft do i need to split the hull or can you get in there to do it with out.
Did you guys use treated plywood or did you just get regular ply and coat it with resin?


I do not think Resin/cloth/mat etc will adhere to Green treat.......we tested once .....put some on a peice of green when we went home (done right) the next morning we were able to peel it off..........we have never used green treat during repair.

It was a blast, my friends still comment about it. My friend is an ordained minister. His nick name is Scary Jerry and he performed the ceremony. One for the record books for sure and we already made it 2 years last week. I think I married out of my league but don't tell her.

I am actually planning on turning my tank in my Intimidator front to back. I'm going to put plywood on either side to help support the deck.

I was at this event, it was the first time I ever had a beer in hand as the bride walked down the Isle.

Are you going to split the Hull?

I have to crawl up in there and see what it will all take to do. Haven't decided if I am going to turn it or not.
