    Are you going to restore this habitat, so rich in biodiversity, by removing the plastic crap, or vice versa?

    Ok I see some poor quality fire wood-- did you make templets of the wood stringers? Are you suporting the hull so it stays in shape? All things to solve, what might be your in your plan,for starting the rebuildig stage of this project.

    Ähhh, not to disappoint you, and for sure no offense in mind, but................
    are you sure you gave me a honest reply on my first question? Or say, Ebbtide was the right name for your project, at the end you can clearly see the ground!

    the stringers were so rotted there was nothing there to use as templates.....i am supporting the boat on the trailer and will hold the sides with 2x4 and such to keep everything together once i start replacing everything.....the wood used for the stringers was actually 1x8 solid lumber with 1x4 lumber on the floor, flat, and glassed over.....these hulls are realllly thin on the bottom.....i am starting to reconsider and am contemplating redoing my 21' formula cuddy cabin instead......its built like a tank......

    from a pros view dig a hole put it in it fill it with water makes a good gold fish pond. u paid for the trailer and motor they gave u the boat for free. what it will cost u in time and mat. u can find a boat water ready that needs a motor and trailer.
