So far we've removed about 450 pounds of wet floor and 1 side saturated foam

Wow it's never ceases to amaze me how poorly some people look after an obviously expensive purchase. I don't envy you on that job, but it looks like your almost done with the destruction.

You're right Glen I think he put it in the water every spring, left it in the elements, and took it out in the fall has no auto bilge pump.

Really hard to believe that is only 14 years old. Pretty sad what some owners will do, or not do.

Way to giterdone!

Finished digging out all the wet foam, I'm thinking got rid of about 500 extra pounds.

 

[budski]

Bilge pump was fried I guess that didn't help the situation.

Coming along nice John,your getting pretty good at building those swing tongues. 500 lbs of water is a whole lot of extra weight to be carrying around needlessly.

 

[budski]

Thanks Glen, yes thats a lot of extra weight, think I'll go to Rona today and get some blue styro for flotation, as far as the swing hitch we just copied one we saw on a factory trailer, we just cut it out and my son welds it together.

Got the floatation in not the prettyest but better than what was there

It is a shame the way some folks take care of their boats. A simple cheap tarp can save a whole bunch of money and damage. Nice progress on the tear down.

 

[budski]

You got that right Willy, this paticular PO by his own words said it's a boat it;s make to be in the water so rain and sun won't hurt it.

Got the hew floor done and vinyled, and side walls carpeted.

 

[jbcurt00]

Deck, vinyl and carpet look great, as usual

Nice quick work of it too....

 

[dozerII]

Looking good John, I was going to say you been slacking off lately as you hadn't posted any progress for a while.

 

[Weep'n Willy]

Now that was fast. Nice quick work on the flooring and carpet.

 

[budski]

Thanks JB, Willy, yes Glen it looks like we haven't been going anything but we cut out the new flood spar varnished it, didn't bother taking pics of that kind of boring watching paint dry, we're getting there.

 

[Watermann]
