this has to be the best place to come for this issue. i hope someone can help!
i just purchased this 85 or 86 saltaire(cant quite remember the year). it was purchased with the top unattached and the floor and foam ripped out already as everything was rotten. Replacing the stringers/floor isnt a problem as ive done both before. the problem is with this particular boat all that was left glassed to the sides are the ledges that the inner wall bottoms screwed to. before we started tearing stuff up even more , we ran a 3/4 inch piece of scrap across the stringers and up against the wall to see where the floor would hit the wall. we were expecting that the floor board should sit directly underneith the "wall mounting tab" so that the wall would sit on top of the floor and beside the tab(screw the wall into this tab). the floor board scrap butts up dead even to this tab covering the old screw holes for the sides!!!!....if we put the scrap board Under the tab(where one would think it should go) and try to push it down on the opposite side to lay on the stringers, the tab wants to bend up and the deck scrap wood wants to bend also!!!!CONFUSED!!!!could the boat have sagged that much being apart for a few months!!?are both the floor and wall secuing tab supposed to be on the same plane with an access "gap" of a couple inches in between?.ive never seen the boat together.
i cant find any clear pics and have to get this right! can anyone help?
