    Are you using pressure treated? If so, there are some suggestions on how to prepare it on

    I am doing the same project on the same year and color boat... I found a few other problems with mine that I had to deal with >> Had 2 cracks in the hull and one hole... The "repairs" were done all wrong so I had to tear it out and completely re do them... I am getting ready to repaint the bottom and then flip it back over onto the trailer.
    Lot of work and it is HOT here in Texas! I work for about an hour and then jump in the pool.. then go back at it for another hour...
    Slows progress down but it makes it doable.

    wow, that's quick and looks great. i like how you didn't notch the stringers for the cross-supports....wtf was the factory thinking back then?

    are you going to add any drainage?

    any other changes you've made from the original design?

    Im just doing the bare basics, pretty much how the factory had it , I filled it up with foam for support so I did not add any drainage.
