Well, the old Southwind hull arrived today - let's just say I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. Thank goodness I have the help of some very talented fiberglass and gelcoat guys or I would be in a world of trouble.
First order of business will be to strip the gauges, steering wheel etc. out of the hull and begin to grind all of the bad glass out of the cockpit area. Stringers and bulkheads will be cut out and replaced, and a new layer of 'glass will be laid into the bottom of the boat. Time to get dusty and itchy!
You have to visualize what it can become
The transom will be replaced to accept a berkeley jet pump.
I get to learn how to repair stress cracks in fiberglass.
