Ok I have almost the whole floor out with 6 bags of soggy foam.
What is everyone using to cut the flooring at the stern of the boat? I have a 92ski and with the sloping stern it makes it very tight in the area behind the gas tank.

i cant believe you had wet foam, did it cause any rot? ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |

| Yes. Most of the rot was in the area of the drivers seat and observers seat. Both of the sub stringers a totally gone, the main stringers are rotted about half way through just in the area of the pylon. I will try and add some pictures. |

Paul, What have you been using in other areas? A small (4&1/2") right angle grinder is handy to get into tight spots. In extream tight spots like corners, a die grinder (Dremel) will get in almost to the corner. You can put a friction cut off blade on ether. Several here have been using the diamond cut offs and are impressed. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Pete,
I just found my die grinder in the back of my toolbox. This will work perfect. I have been using a 4 1/2 grinder with a metal cut-off blade. It seems to work really nice with very little dust. Paul |
