I removed the stringers this morning and the center built up area of the transom. As soon as the snow melts I plan to get the boat off the trailer and remove the rest of the transom but until then I need to keep the stern lifting rings in place.

Nice!! won't be nice enough for fishing in these parts for a while yet,unless you are ice fishing that is. 28 inches for a keeper in MA

Seating in the bow can be a tough place to be unless its fairly calm waters

Lost a few hats but have always been lucky enough to circle around and retrieve them. One time we were cod fishing 10 miles east of stellwagen and a back pack came floating by. We pulled it in and it had a wallet and a few other things in it. I got hold of the owner and they collected it from...

IMO it is best to put a layer of glass on the underside,just epoxy will likely crack over the years with the expansion and contraction of the ply. One layer of 1708 with Vinylester would be a good waterproof barrier. Can't help you with the plate but i have seen links posted on this site in...

Hi,thanks for the info. I didn't remove the cap either,i just cut out the deck up to the bulkhead,the stringers seem ok towards the front and I just plan to tie into them. I have checked out your gallery in the past,you have done a great job,i hope mine looks as good some day. What wood did...

Yes they are, A friend of mine may have one for me. I removed the transom plate yesterday.Remarkably the wood around the key hole was still solid,the transom where the stringers tie in,not so good. There was also a kicker motor on the boat at some point,delaminated there also. Hope to start...

Removed the motor today, it was a breeze. Although the oil pan appears to have quite a few jb weld patches on it. Looks like I will be replacing that. The front motor mount adjustment is seized beyond repair also. Motor mounts seem to be in plentiful supply on ebay , not too many oil pans...

I removed all the foam today,it was pretty wet at the stern,probably due to the deck drains emptying onto it.lol thanks for all the words of support

The foam was remarkably dry,as was the port side stringers. I cut the transom cap off,that needs recoring.I plan to remove the rest of the foam,and clean up a little then pull the motor in the next couple of weeks(depending on weather) and figure out the transom,i know its toast,at least around...

probably gain a few knots when I remove the couple of hundred pounds of doubled up 2x12 stringers

here is how you glass in a girder at the wellcraft factory

nice parquet

this is how you do it the right way:oh: 16 penny nails everywhere

So it is time to start the overhaul of my 73 cuddy. I cut out the deck last weekend and found a real interesting set up underneath it. Although the original construction was pretty shoddy there looks to have been some equally crappy repairs in the past. I have enclosed some pics for your...

I have a ROKU,works great,netflix and hundreds of other channels,got rid of cable and built and hd antenna for about $5 and get around 20 channels on it,about 12 in hd

thanks for the input everyone.I will leave it be for now. I may recore the cover with divynicell next year as it has a weak spot and see how the lead holds up when i remove it.

My 73 engine cover has a foam backed lead sheet liner,was that standard? obviously it adds a lot of weight and i am planning on removing it. I am just wondering if anyone has encountered this and if there was a significant noise increase. thanks.

I would be in for a NE gathering providing my boat is back together, I plan on replacing my deck and stringers in the spring,hopefully it doesn't turn into too big of a can of worms

Happy thanksgiving to all :beer:
