For your amusement I am posting three photos of the work done today. I was able to remove the starboard stringer intact. As I had mentioned earlier the main stringers are not rotten but the wood was wet. After a couple of hours laying in the sun it became dry as a Hindu's tennis shoe. Other than that I spent a few hours in a respirator cutting and grinding

Nice clean job BJ. Looks like you have a great start on it. Just keep the pics coming.
Had a 4 day weekend and wanted to make it over to see you and the BFN but I am not sure where the days went. To busy. john ------------- "Loud pipes save lives" AdamT sez "I'm Canadian and a beaver lover myself"... |

Gotta do it. I could use a nice ride in that direction on the bike.
Keep the pictures coming in the meantime tho. john ------------- "Loud pipes save lives" AdamT sez "I'm Canadian and a beaver lover myself"... |

Yeah; kinda like training wheels ffor motorcycles.
I think there has been pics on here of my bike so you know I ain't got them...but there is alot of bikes down here that use 'em. Better than not being able to ride...I think. I know I have a buddy that lives up in Kent with bad feet that otherwise could not ride. john ------------- "Loud pipes save lives" AdamT sez "I'm Canadian and a beaver lover myself"... |

It's going, but going slow. The foam is in, and I'm fitting the plywood to go on the floor and getting ready to glass that all in. Trying to figure out what to do with the outside. I'd love to re-gel coat but man is that expensive. I'll probably have to go the paint route and hope for the best. Hopefully have it ready by spring. It's good to know that when we make it down there you'll have another project going I can come and look at. Take Care. Dave |

All looks good; looking forward to more pictures. How many times have you taken a boat down to its hull? Chuck ------------- Walk on Water www.coldwater.me http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=775&sort=&pagenum=3&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970 - 69 Ski Nautique |

Chuck,
Greetings my brother! The 81 BFN is number two, and number last. Both times I have engaged my wallet before my brain. I do'nt enjoy the work but love the results. YBIC bj ------------- hasbeenskier |
