Too far gone?

Hello All,
I Finally started getting my boat demoed, and well it's a little rougher than I had hoped. I wanted to know if you guys thought it was salvageable. I think what is concerning me the most is the keel is rotted and there is delamination in some spots along the inside of the hull. Also, anyone have any idea what the grey concrete looking bonding agent someone used before when redoing the floor?

Capt. Bob:
Well "too far gone" is subjective.
We have seen rebuilds here where members strip out the entire hull, add additional glass over the entire mold and build new stringers while adding more bulkheads and "knees" to both the transom and gunnels so.....

In answer to your question, it is only too far gone when you decide it's not worth your time, effort and money.

The hull in your photos can be rebuilt better than new but only you can decide to do it. Rebuilds are hard and those that attempt and especially those who attempt and complete these rebuilds are held in high regard on the Forum.

Not everyone, myself included take on that task but we do enjoy and appreciate the effort.

Good luck. :thumright:

“What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...

It ain't over now, 'cause when the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'. Who's with me? Let's go! Come on!.”

A little John Belushi inspiration for you! :salut: :salut: :salut: :nSalute:

I didn't know "the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor" ;-)

The gray concrete stuff is bonding glue from the factory to glue the deck to the stringers, but I've never seen it as runny as it is in your pics. Yours looks more like concrete mix???  I found the bonding glue easier to chip away with a big hammer & chisel, grinding it just makes a huge dust cloud.
