[QUOTE="jkitchene, post: 368351, member: 15178"] Got some time to work on the boat this past weekend. A little more cleanup needed (mud, old foam, etc.) and I hope to fill with water to the waterline to see where it is leaking. Should I worry about filling with water with no rear bulkhead support? I plan to pick up some aluminum angle this weekend to begin framing the new decks once I have fixed all leaks. The foam above the bottom 2 inches was solid and a pain to remove. The bottom foam however filled every drain channel and was soaking wet (heavy). There was also a lot of dirt/mud in the boat after 25 years of buildup. I'm considering going back with most of the original rear deck framed with aluminum angle versus spray in foam. If I never have to work with spray in foam again it will be too soon :shock: [/QUOTE]
