Just P/U a 1973 Manatee 19

[Brianclark17]

Hello everyone, Brian here, and I m new to Iboats. I just picked up a 1973 Manatee 19'. Deck is soft, so obviously it needs redone. I took core samples of Transom, and its bone dry (extremely surprised) Anyone have any pictures of the stringer layout, before I got cutting away at the floor? I've redone flooring before on a couple of boats, but just thought Id ask if anyone had the same boat or know anyone doing a restoration! Thank you, and happy boating!

it's always kind of a surprise when you lift the deck off of a boat, and you shouldn't be trying to ruin that surprise by getting before hand knowledge.

Post pics before and while you tear into her, we love the boat porn!
