Thanks guys, I worked on her last night, I've made some progress, whitout any cutting tool I was able to get at least 80% of the rot, leafs and gunk out using pry bars, a hammer and a shop vacc. Here's how it looks: The stingers are in sorry shape which you can't really tell until you removed the fiber glass, the fiber glass is keeping it rock solid. Tonight I'll be cutting up some fiber glass and removing more of the wood, I'll also be getting some marine grade plywood. Also the transom is cracked at the top edges, I've done some homework and found a product called seacast that just like you said Rhino I'll be doing some gutting and pouring this winter..

Hi everyone , just bought my boat yesterday and it needs quite a bit of TLC but for the price I couldn't say no. Its in the garage and that was a snugg fit.. I have 3/4 of a foot of play. I'm currently replacing some floor supports and the floor itself, I'd like to be back on the water by next week and that means I'll have a lot of late nights ahead of me.. My plan is to get the basics , Floor, bilge pump and gas tank up to par and enjoy the fall then back into the garage it goes for the completion of the floors and paint. Here's a picture. 17ft boat with what seems to be a home painted engine hood that says 170hp Tiller, engine, steering work great. Any pointers you have in boat maintenance or things to watch out for please give me your 2 Cents. Thanks Shawn.D
