Hey all, well I'm back at it again, sold my 1989 bay liner, picked up a 94 Monterey 180 boat, nice boat,hull floors and transom felt good.
All I had to do is put my engine in and be ready to go.
Well , that was not it!!!
Strated cutting the transom to fit my Volvo Penta setup,
However water started running out the back of the boat, well I first thought it was,just water running out, but after about an hour, water was still coming out,
Started checking,, pulled the carpet up found, new plywood, but it was justed painted not glassed,
Cut the wood out, found the stringers gone rotted, and now just dust.
Foam was soaked, a 1 foot by 1 foot , held 1 gallon on was, and yes I got a bucket and checked,
So now it's back to the drawing board, man I did not want a project again, will post more pic as I go..
