Where do I start. I started to sand the hull to see what I needed to make this boat ready for paint. And this is where my troubles began. The strut mount was so badly corroded I had to cut the whole section out which I did not mind so much as the rear section was so uneven it would take more to fill and repair than to remove and install a new section. This is also when I found out its a glass hull so I was happy so see that. After removing the rear section I found the wood that lined the tub had separated from the glass. Not a big deal as it only looked to be in the rear. Went on to remove the radio box and sand the hull. More damage and despair. Cut more of the hull out to get to good material so repairs can start. And again more damage and now starting to think about trashing the hull all together. So to make a long story even more painful you'll see in the following pictures gutted the entire hull to get all the rotted wood out of it. So I'm looking at it and I can blend in the repairs to the deck to alleviate me from having to do a complete repaint. I'll take a shower to clear my head and decide on this one. If you have a weak stomach i warn you now do not look at the pictures. 
Sounds good...I'm making good progress on mine too. Making the vertical fin tomorrow as well as installing the shaft log and then I can start sanding and priming....
