[QUOTE="Pweisbrod, post: 301712, member: 7714"] Good news and bad news! Good news is, there is no more carpet anywhere in the boat. Ripped out the front "storage" and last remaining piece of carpeted ply, which is the only rotted piece I've found so far (surprisingly) Bad news is, I HATE STRIPPING OUT CARPET GLUE. I'm doing my best to be patient, but the wire wheel and grinder combo is looking pretty good right now.... Things left to do before I can start rebuilding: -Get rid of all carpet glue, one way or another. I am losing my patience, even though the kwik strip from ACE Hardware works very well in my opinion. I am done with carpet glue, it's taking too much time! I've already spent 10 or 12 hours on trying to get it off the nice way. I'll give it one more session with the strip and scrape method, then I'm busting out the weapons of mass destruction (grinder and whire wheel) -remove floor, use as template on new ply, possibly remove foam to be replaced. -use old livewell lids as templates on new ply -make new covers for rear "pods" where rear casting deck used to be. with cardboard templates to be used on ply -powerwash the dirty sucker, I'm tired of getting dirty every time I work on it. -remove wiring and controls from entire boat -remove motor, store on... something. Not sure yet? -Inspect transom, probably replace (Actually doesnt look that bad to do, only appears to be a few bolts going all the way through.) How do I remove the wires that go from the controls to the motor itself? Do they disconnect on the motor side, or the control side? I don't want to ruin anything while trying to take this thing apart. This is going to be fun once I can start putting it back together! I will get some pictures once I get all carpet glue and residue gooooone. [/QUOTE]
