Here is the boat

I cut off the fiberglass skin and the wood was like soggy mulch. I will have to dig deeper to see how far it goes.

Fuel tank cover
|
A section of the deck can be unscrewed to provide access to the fuel tank.
|
|
|
The stringers by the fuel tank have dark sections that look like they are rotten as well.

Rot in stringers

Sterndrive Removal
|
I used a ladder and a ratcheting strap to remove the stern drive. A heavy duty hoist was not necessary as it is not that heavy; maybe a hundred pounds.
|
|
|
Here is the stand I made to hold the sterndrive while it is off of the boat.

Engine Removal
|
To remove the engine I used a chain hoist on a homemade gantry using a tree in our driveway for one of the supports.
|
|
|
After lifting the engine out I just pulled the boat out from under it and lowered it onto a dolly.

The inner stringers were soaked.

The wet wood in the transom went all the way to the side, but the outer stringers look like they are in good shape.

|
The dust collector helped keep the fiberglass dust down when cutting.

We removed the plywood with chisled, prybars and hammers.

|
This peice of the transom came off easily.

You can see how rotten the ply was.
|
|
|
It was attached with staples and a little bit of glue.

We got most of the wood off before we had to quit, but there is a good bit to go.
|
|
|
When chiseling the wood off, I accidentally held the chisel the wrong way and went into the fiberglass.

The chisel chipped the gel coat.
