Hello all,

Im new to the board here, but, in the last few days, have learned an immense amount on how to repair boats and all. I have a background in woodworking, electrical, and automotive mechanics, so what did I do, I bought a boat....... its a 1976 vintage Invader 15' trihull that needed a new floor, and a tuneup. So far, I have the old floor torn out, and the new stringers cut and ready to glass back in. All the parts for the motor are on order, and should be here next week sometime. God willing, and work doesnt call me out, I should have this ancient boat back on the water by next weekend (yeah right :D) Thankfully, I work a rotational schedule, and I can afford to put a bunch of time into the boat, without work interfering...

Well in that case looks like you need to swab the floor...er I mean deck. LOL

Ill be sure to do that, just as soon as I get it reinstalled
