Floor Removal-March 12, 2011

 This past weekend, we started to remove the floor. As expected, we found a still wet plywood/fiberglass floor that was fairly easy to remove with bare hands. Stringers were wet and rotted and covered with chopped strand mat fiberglass. Everything will be removed and replaced. The next day we started to separate the top shell from the hull. It went well. We cut all tabbing around the boat but ran into difficultly at the transom. It seems to be bonded at the top of the transom and under the top shell. We ran out of time and sharp blades so it will have to wait a day or two.
