Current State

Over the weekend I took some time to prepare to prepare the garage for some work. As this spring has been the coldest on record the weather isn't real conducive to serious boat work. However, I was able to clean a little and get the hull emptied of gack I was storing in it over the summer. Below are some pictures of where the work left off last summer. I was gung ho to get all the boat finished then but July-September was nuts with work.

So here is where I left off:

This is sitting in the stern looking forward. The stripped console is the most disturbing

 Here is a look at the floor. The fiberglass sticking up is the remnants of the old main floor stinger which will ultimately be replaced with a fancy new plywood spine

Detail of the stern with chunks of the old foam removed.

Shot looking back towards the bilge area. All of this foam and decking will be stripped and replaced

As you can tell, there's a ton of work to do. But it should go quickly once it's warm enough to lay up fiberglass (60+ degrees for more than an hour or two). My hope is to be able to get all of this old crap stripped out on Sunday the 15th. We'll see....
