to add more than 1 pic per posting, add the pic and submit. Then return to the thread and hit edit. Add another pic and submit. Return to the thread and edit the post agai - that is how it is done.

That white stuff looks like a foam but its not. I am power washing the boat and that is just soapy water draining out

So it turns out this area at the bow was full of water so with the help from people on this forum I decided to drill a hole and drain all of it.

I cut off the rub rail and mailed a piece to Wefco Rubber Mfg. for a quote on a new one. They told me $5.50 per foot.

Removing all the fixtures, and windshield
I had to drill out many of the rusty screws a previous owner used. The stainless ones came out easily.

Time for the Sawzall! The rivets holding the two parts together seemed to be copper.

Now it is time to separate the two parts. I used a jack to lift the back part up. I also needed to hammer a piece of wood to separate the epoxy between the fiberglass top and seat connected to the bottom.
I had to angle grind the fiberglass around this part

Building the new transom. I saved the part of the fiberglass up against the previous transom as somewhat of a templet.

So a local marina was nice enough to loan me these jack stands. I am switching to painting the bottom of the boat now so I can return them as soon as possible.
I had in inch it along to squeak the trailer through the stands.

I primed it the best I could with Interlux 2000e. Man that stuff dries fast and is hard to work with. Poor choice by me.
The pain went on much easier. I Am using the "Roll and Tip" method. 
I just finished the red tonight!!!! |
