Well, we jumped at the destruction of the floors due to the great weather we had for the weekend. Seems that after sitting for two years in the garage, it still wasn't dried out. I've seen honeycombed aluminum used in aircraft, composite cored honeycomb in various racing applications. But I have never seen honeycombed paper/cardboard in anything, much less a marine application. Not that I've seen a a lot of different boats tore apart, just none with heavy paper/cardboard utilized. And they were very wet. Just under the front windows, the front deck had a sag of about 1 3/4-2". Enough weight that it bowed a piece of unistrut steel that I tried to pull it straight from side to side. It weighed enough that I couldn't push it up. Using a hyd bottle jack, got it within a 1/2" of straight. Once the cardboard crap and water was removed, the front deck went to level on its own. I could then lift it off of the 2x4 that was placed through the side windows. I removed the lower skin from the very bottom all the way back to the transom. What a pain in the ass that was. Anyways, my better half will be scraping the cardboard off of the bottom surface today so I can trim the sides that was left when I cut the bottom surface off.
