The rebuild has begun. This is 7 hours of work after the cup was pulled.Attachment 19952Attachment 19953 My plan is to get the glass work finished in one of the new home garages we are building while the weather is warm. Also keep all of fiberglass mess away from the wife. Put to cap back on and save the rest for a winter project.
Progress has been made. Fresh stringer are installed and plywood floor is cut out and ready. I still need to glass in the ends of the stringersAttachment 19988 Attachment 19987
Attachment 19989I'm ditching the rubber mufflers & plastic through hull exhaust fittings. They are being replaced with 3" exhaust tubing and stainless through Attachment 19990hull fittings. For the muffling there will be the guts from 2- 36" glass packs. The last owner got the exhaust a little hot at some time.
Progress is progress, looking good. i enjoy stringer threads since it's in my future.
Ditching the nylon through hulls is, in my opinion, one of the best upgrades an older Supra owner can do.
See my list in the Supra contest, General Chat from 10-10-2022. The failure almost sunk my boat.

What did it do to the rubber mufflers?
Attachment 19991I'm doing this build in the garage of a new home we are building in a upper scale retirement community. It's giving all of the retirees something to talk about on there morning walks. Lots of looks and ??? I took the boat home last week. Now they are asking where it's and they want me to bring it back so that can see it when It's finished. I think I'll bring it back when
I'm finished and set it in the front yard for a cupule mornings.
Attachment 19992Glassing the edges of the floor. The blue is some really good left over 1/2" plywood from a job.
Attachment 19993Attachment 19994Installing the foam.
Attachment 19995Attachment 19996The floor is glassed in one layer on the bottom and 2 layers n the top. The carpet went in on a Sunday afternoon.
Attachment 19997Attachment 19998It's home. Time to start the glass refinishing.
Attachment 19999 I went over the top with a quick compound just so I could find all of the places that need attention and see the real color for the color matching. It turns out that the light color isn't off white but the Supra light gray. There's 16 screw holes that are going to get filed in and a cupule of small chips in the gray. There's a long way to go.
Hagman, visual inspection showed no damage. We checked the type of neoprene used in the construction and it has a melting temperature of significantly higher than what they would have been subjected to during the rather brief overheat. So we reused them and they have performed flawlessly.Quote:

Some photos, the third is a brand new Salisbury.
I'm getting close to finishing the glass repair and buffing on the cap. So fare I've filled in 42 screw holes and fix 3 chips. I want to have all of the buffing finished be for moving on the putting things back together.Attachment 20003Attachment 20004I filled in the screw holes for the bake vents. Not going to use the black square vent.Attachment 20005Attachment 20005
Ran out of 1000 Grit paper to work on refinishing the gel. So moved on to relocating the battery from the bow storage to under the passenger seat and a clean up day. Attachment 20006Attachment 20007
