Hi Taylor- I have someone from Salt Lake who's interested, and has promised to call this weekend.

If they end up passing on it, then I'm putting it back on the market.

I'll let you know after this weekend.

 

Thanks,

 

Hal

Hey Mike- Thanks so much for checking in. I'll be out of town until the middle of next week, but as soon as I get back, I plan on flipping her over and inspecting as suggested by Kevin and Rick below. I'd love to be able to have you take a look at it once it's torn apart, and maybe offer some advice as to next steps.

Hal, Kevin has exactly the right advice. He, AJ, and Dutch have done an amazing job of restoring some old beauties. Until someone makes an xray machine for boats you've got to do a skin deep inspection. You will have to remove the paint to get to a solid surface anyway. This is also a great way to understand how your boat is built. If you are unfamiliar with how they come apart there are numerous pictures showing boat deconstruction. Look up chine logs and bottom repair. Good luck on the projec.

 

Regards,

Thanks Kevin-

Sounds like a plan. I'll post images as I proceed, to get more detailed feedback.

Thanks a ton for the advice!

flip her over on a set of low saw horses or some blocks to stabilize it ,remove the chine caps along with any of the loose paint(looks like some bubbling above the rock guard too) with a heat gun and scraper,remove the uhmw and poke around with a screwdriver to see the extent of the rot.Some pic.'s posted here would help alot.From first glance looks like a new bottom would be the easiest and most practical but exposing the damaged area will allow you to assess the extent of damage and proceed accordingly.
