Twisted Wire cup wheels.worked great for me. They chewed the wood up pretty good with out loading up

I presume that removes the wood and leaves the glass behind?

Yes and a thing that is not adheared well to the glass. Works great for wet wood as well

I've noticed the stringers are cut away from transom. Make sure to have the trailer bunks run all the way past the transom to help support it. You don't want a hook created in the bottom of hull. Just a thought.

Good point. I have some boat stands coming. I wonder if they'll make any droop better or worse. Either way, I'll give it a check b/f I glass the stringers back in.

Your outer skin is definitely thicker at about a1/4" boats stand on the stern chines should be okay.. Just check with a straight edge of on time to time... Hopefully you won't be 4 years into your projects like me .lol

The coremat equivalent was in my 86 as well. I use the 24 or 36 discs on a grinder together with one of the thicker metal cutoff wheels. Its a little ghetto rigged but works (4 1/2" grinder)

Have a picture of the grinder disk arrangement? I ordered some aggressive looking disks off of Amazon today. Hopefully they are the hot ticket.

Make sure you use your handle grip on your grinder and gloves.be careful cause when it hooks up..

I'm in the planning stage. Been using the computer to help guide my thoughts. Whatcha think?

lifejacket Storage/step in the bow (reuse some of the casting platform)
Fix box in the floor
50gal livewell in front of the console
Console narrowed to 30ish inches w/integrated T-top supports.
Bilge access behind the rocket launcher
Debating putting storage boxes across the transom. Could be dry storage or little livewells.
