When is it time to let go of an old friend and move on to newer ones? After taking the Sport 40 motor out, noticed the engine bay wood was loose. Guess over the years the wood became fuel soaked. I was able to push the wood apart without any effort.
I would like to keep this boat (possible a Dave Frank early version) if possible. However, the problem for me is the soaked wood. Any way to help dry out fuel? Ok, stupid question but I had to ask Might need to take out more wood around the area to find clean wood...
Or is time to give up the ship and build a new one? If so, who has plans out there for a Sport 40?? Winter projects need to make my list...
What ya think?
