so, today, i dug into the flattie. got all of the foam out of the middle stringer, cut a large chunk of the stinger out, and cut almost all the foam out of the port stinger... all the foam pulled out pretty easily. <!-- s:cheers: --><!-- s:cheers: -->











water was dripping out of this one without even squeezing the foam... SOAKED!




this chunk had to weigh at least 70 lbs

I pulled around 1200# out of mine. That included the liner and decks though. How well are the stringers attached?

Getcha a bigger fan too!!

[Aswaff400]

the stringers are in better shape than i originally thought. couple spots are cracked from the demolition, but should glass back pretty easily, theres almost no delamination... the fan is mostly used to suck the grinding dust away when i use the angle grinder. works pretty good.

Alright Aaron!!  Know you're having fun...    

[Aswaff400]

got 99% of the foam out, pulled out in large chunks pretty easy, also cut the 2 outer stringers so additional glass can be added along the chines. the port stringer is in excellent condition, and the middle stringer is on pretty good condition also, the starboard stinger has some rough spots where the bonding putty broke loose when the deck was being ripped out, nothing a little glass wont fix.
pics will come later, time to go get some FOOD

Stringers look well bonded. Getting rid of the liner?

the port and middle stringer and the port side of the starbord stringer are in great shape, and rock solid, the starboard side of the stringer got damaged when the deck was ripped out, will glass it back down inside and out, and add additional glass to the whole inside of the boat.

scott, this one is for you, she has a glassed cap

Any time a gas powered leaf blower is involved in demo is a GOOD time   !  Just bumming that an 8 foot Johnson bar wasn't in the picture too...

A high school classmate owns Bayside Sandblasting.  If you call that company, tell Keith Begin I said hello.

I drove by earlier today to see if you were working....I'll try stopping by later.
