    waterlogged foam in bowrider

    Get ready for some fun.....If the foam is wet, it's probably all or mostly wet. Pull the deck.....Check the stringers and transom from here. Are they salvageable? Should you just go ahead and replace? No way to know until the deck comes up. Get rid of that foam. Only way I can try to figure out...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Still here gentlemen....Very disappointed that the boat has continued to sit untouched, but life has been so very busy!

    LOL! Nope. We were both offline that day. It was a nice day! So funny story.....The day I got married, while I was waiting to get my haircut beforehand, I received a notification that an off market duplex that my spose and I had previously fallen in love with, was back on the market! Long story...

    There is zero interest to help until I get around to any potential exterior artwork. Get married tomorrow!

    Hey Joe! I have been missing posting updates. With the cold weather and life getting in the way, I have not been able to get to my storage unit at all this winter. I have been working on purchasing a duplex, working a lot to save up for it, as well as refurbishing a utility trailer so I have...

    1970 Larson Lapline - Floor Help Needed

    Welcome! My recommendation to you is to start with posting some pics so we can all see what you are talking about. Secondly, If you have a rotten floor, then you almost certainly have rotten stringers, bulkheads and transom. You will find that the flor is the least of your worries right now...
