[QUOTE="bdub065, post: 346649, member: 13806"] Here are the first three days spent on deconstruction: Bow -Minn Kota removed -Decking remove and the good news is that the wood is in good shape outside of being a little damp from the previous carpet job Console section -seats removed and seat boxes removed (will be resized an remounted) -throttle cable and steering cable casing removed for more space and future gunnels -console and steering wheel/gauges/switches/ignition removed Back -aluminum framing/ panels removed and floor and carpet was ripped out -staples were a pain to get out as they had to be pulled individually with pliers -foam removed from back panels -touched up the remaining wood and will be reused, this saved me from having to buy more of the marine grade plywood. -filled the boat to the waterline to see if I had any leaks and again I got lucky with all solid rivets. I don't think my uncle used this boat to often and it was always garage kept with a cover. I think this saved me hours of work I have see you others have to take checking and replacing rivets. Spoiler alert there will be a ton of rivet work in the near future! Sorry for some of the poor pictures I was working in a non-heated garage and due to the timeline was working in temperatures in the low 20's. Those springers don't wait for nothing and you better have your boat in the water when they are running! [/QUOTE]
