So I recently bought a boat, my first boat and boy does it need work. It is a 1977 Hydroglass trihull bass boat it was made in Livingston Tn. they were only in operation for 9 years so i am assuming there are not very many of them were made if there are i would love to see them!!!! But any ways i started by removing the carpet and the seats and some other junk.

This is where is started from originally.

It looked ok the way it was but structurally it was horrible. So i decided next was the deck it wasnt even the original and who ever did it did aweful

Next was the middle part of the deck it was in three sections so i started with the middle just to see what i was getting into rotten wood wise!

As u can see the foam is soaked and also the stringers arent even glassed in they look like they have been replaced but not very well.

Next is to remove motor and wires and hardware and then remove the cap to start disassembling the hull. Let me know what you guys think of the progress so far or have any tips for me.
