hello all. after reading all the other resto/rebuilds, i finally have to post mine....well, what i have so far.
for starters, after patching what i thought was a hole, and with a little prodding, i decided there's no way "it'll be ok for another season...".
i mike said my boat was telling me it needed a resto. best i can do is rebuild, as i have no clue what it originally looked like, as the damn cap has been cut all the way around.
so...i'll post a few pics of what i've done already, but im not posting all 100 or so of them.
as stated in my "is this a hole?" thread, one of the PO's cut thru the stbrd stern hull doing who knows what.
here's the pic under carpet.
under that i found this......
the white 'power' looking stuff is where i was grinding from outside....it's foam dust.
and under that i found this.....
yes, those are 3" wood screws, and yes, they DID puncture the fill hose.
that bare spot in the fill hose is where i grabbed it and the outer jacket just pulled off like rotten skin.
that "fire retardant jacket" now has the properties of a nasty latex glove.
and it's all soaked, but i cant tell if that's from the WONDERFUL glass job or all the effin holes in the glass.
oh, the whole thing was put together using staples THRU THE DAMN GLASS!
no wonder there's hardly any wood left.
