I have the more than enough access inside and either way I’m replacing the stringers and etc after, guess I’m cutting out the gunwales in the rear a bit then. I’m going to start the transom this weekend. I’ll post pics of the progress.

I have a question for anyone still following this tread, I need some advice on which side I should cut out to replace the transom? (thinking about cutting the inside) Also the stringers are 1/2” or 5/8”? I’m thinking of using 3/4” coosa or would I be fine with 1/2” coosa?

I’m back my boats and hoes buddies, foam is getting ripped out from between the stringers. Getting ready to start supporting the hull between the stringers before I start ripping out the existing stringers. side note: it’s a load a damn foam lmao underestimated the total amounts of trash bins...

Outboard is now resting on the stand.

Outboard has been removed, going to be placed on the stand tomorrow. Going to re-level the vessel and prepare to start removing stringers.

Cause I was going to use Douglas fir unless I get any other recommendations, so far I’m leaning with 1” Douglas fir.

I’ve seen this guy on YouTube, I love the setup enclosed transom, platform and the verado 300 makes me drool. Trying to get as close to this as possible, would like twins though as a redundancy standpoint.

I appreciate the post I’m definitely going to be reading into it. I already have the west systems epoxy with the pumps for smaller projects I’ve been doing so I’ll be going this route then. Thanks Dennis for the input I’ll still look into the us composites to see what the savings would look...

Perfect that was one of my questions which was epoxy resin vs poly resin. I'm definitely going to take a look at the tread and get some pointers. Thanks Greauxpete!! I appreciate it.

Finally got the casters on the outboard stand pretty happy with the outcome, going to paint the outboard stand and the engine hoist. To remove the outboard….. I might give gotten ahead of myself and leveled the vessel while having the outboard on and no space to move it. Will be taking the...

Got the vessel level on both axis, going to start supporting the bottom hull between the rollers on the trailer. Will have some updated pics I couldn’t find good enough answers or videos but I got a decent idea in the works.

Caster wheels get in tomorrow, going to finish the primer coat, and quick paint before putting the Yamaha outboard on the bracket. Weld were ok considering my time off a welder but I am overall happy so far we’ll see how she does once the outboard weight is on it.

Just made an outboard bracket to hold up the good old yammie while she’s off the vessel. I’ll post some pics later. Also currently trying to support the hull for stringer removal, got an idea waiting for some time to apply my idea physically and see how it does.

Ps. Outboard will be removed prior to anything

Forgot to put this up here too

Well fellas here is where we are at as of tonight. I have the floor removed It was held down to the stringers by folded fiberglass mat, pried it off pretty easy. I noticed the top of all the stringers were not glasses or sealed it just had the mat on top over it….. Carolyn coming through with...

Well let’s see how bad I did with cutting my line lmao… I decided I would like to mat the sidewall to reduce some vibration that it had previously if that makes any sense how I’m trying to describe it. I’m ready for the criticism! ‍♂️

Update: I cut out the rear section and sides I’ll attach the photos later tonight once I’m done cutting, I said F it and I’m cutting in a manner to try and remove the floor in two half sections to keep the coolers attached to the floor so I can come back in and fiberglass the two sections...

I I was planning on sealing it but leaving drain holes within pvc drain line running from the bow to the stern just in case water does make it in if that makes sense, the bilge pump should kick on before the water level rises enough to bring the water into the tank coffin. I’m planning on a new...

I’m planning to do some samples on the stringer right before the bulkhead underneath the cockpit/cabin entrance I was hoping that I had some good wood right before the bulkhead to focus on the stringers in the aft section. for some reason my tank coffin was completely sealed, I’ll make sure to...
