jbarnard Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 i told myself i wouldnt do another boat but i fell in love with this bee and for the price i decided to take it on. the boat is a 87 v154 bumble bee. to start off this boat was used and abused rode hard and put up wet etc... . the transom is SHOT it was mulch down to the bottom of the hull. a majority of the stringers were shot. the floor on the other hand was in good shape the foam was waterlogged.im going to rebuild with coosa board and have ordered today. ill post pics as soon as i can Quote

Super User WRB Posted November 22, 2015 Super User Posted November 22, 2015 Rebuilding a dry rotted transum is a major task! Cutting out the inboard fiberglass,replacing the 1 1/2" marine plywood, making gusset brackets to tie into the bottom stringers, reglassing everything to increase strength to prevent chine walk, flat planeing surface etc....been there, done that....never again! Good luck with your project. Tom Quote
