Aft end of the tank and a corroded bookshelf bracket.
 The brown in the bottom half of this picture is the box stringer and the lighter colored stuff on top of it is the putty they used to join the deck/liner to the stringers. It seems pretty hard. Anyone have a feel for how difficult it would be to separate the two if I were to pull the cap to fix the transom?  Pardon the fat finger on the left, this is a shot of fore end of the gas tank hole. I presume the tank is sitting on that roving. Seems like a big space that isn't being utilized.

Hey that looks good.. It looks like there is a poly tank in there.. Man how big is your tank...?.. I do belive that poly is sufficent for stregth especially when using coosa board.. You need to be careful on the weight..i over built my tub and platform and the weight of the bracket is around 170 its a little heavy i would have like 150 But it was my first bracket...take your time laying glass dont put to many layers on at atime the transom angle at the front of the tub will want to sag and pull away. It did for me.. So just becareful ther.. Strick and hermco definitley build some really nice brackets.
My platform is glued and tabbed to the tub with epoxy and cabosil... It was an big pia especially when the acces ports are 5 " debating on taking it to 6" so i can reach in and access the compartments

Tripletail season has me working on the boat again. I've been debating for a while about how to go about the transom and I think I've finally come up with a solution.
Today I removed the rub rail and started to break the cap loose from the hull. The more I dig into this boat, the worse it gets. Probably not the first one down this road. I'm still concerned about getting too deep and never getting the boat into the water. I've been considering hiring an experienced hand to keep it moving along.

In the words of Kansas, I'm to the point of no return.
I cut the top off the cap today. Have a EMT tent to build around it to keep everything dry after the first few steps of demo.  Can anyone recommend a good place to get the tyvec suits to keep fiberglass off my skin?
