Throw in a couple lawn chairs, bucket for the minnows and a cooler and you'll be ready!

Um, have you ever met Farmer. I'd recommend a bit of floatation back into that boat before Paul Bunyan gets has gigantor butt back in there!

Ed do you plan on putting foam back in your hull? Take it from me I wish I did when I restored the blue bomber. Remember it sank two years ago.

No. After seeing how this boat is put together, I am going to leave the foam out. However, the stringers are just thick fiberglass forms about 1/2 inch thick and are foam filled all the way to the bow. That is staying in. The restof the areas are stripped and will be beefed up with more glass. These boats are just a sponge with the foam in contact with wood. Just condensation will cause water retention and eventual rot. I am not going to do this job again so am eliminating that future issue.CF

Got the hull out today and washed it down and left it out in the sun and wind to dry most of the day. Brought it back in, sat a fan in it to blow for a few days. Also cut some cardboard for the template for the new transom. Now got to go price some composite material for the transom.

Got a outfit down here that refurbishes boats of all types from bass boats to Albemarle and Carolina classics to jig built charter boats. The owner told me he had some scrap composite that I probably get what I needed for my transom. He said it was like $350 a sheet but would sell me the scrap to save a bunch on it so we will see. I have about made my mind up regardless on the composite. I can't afford to do the floor but I would not have to ever worry about the transom rotting again. CF
