60 Hours - Fabuglas Bahama Restoration |

The hull was pulled out from under the top section and moved to the third (and last) bay of my garage (if you look closely, you can see my older truck in the first bay). I guess that leaves me parking outside for this winter!!! I'm sure it will be worth it in the end. |
|
Here is a good look at the hull. I have started removing the transom, hence the pile of scrap in the back of the boat. From what I see now, it looks like the remaining sections of the floor boards will have to be removed, along with the entire length of both stringers and underdeck gutters. |

The stern eyes...one had the bolts rusted on so bad that I had to cut them off (the eye pictured on the right); the other did not have any nuts holding it on at all, only some rust buildup where nuts had once been (check the studs above the left eye). The more I uncover about this boat, the more amazing it is that it even stayed on the trailer on my way home. |
|
This is the top half of the boat, just hanging out!!! |

A view from the stern - the transom is giving way to the hammer and crowbar, piece by piece, chunk by chunk... |
|
...and sometimes molecule by molecule, atom by atom, quark by quark, glueon by glueon...how's that for a lesson in quantum mechanics?!?! LOL |
