I started cleaning and seeing what needs to be done today. I cleaned the engine compartment and removed the turf. The last owner put new turf over the stock turf which was fun to remove. He used a ton of sealant for the rail caps. I cut all the screws for the tubbies that were sticking in the engine compartment (they went even stainless). im not sure if I am going to remove them or not, I will find out tommorrow. Its going to need a new steering cable and long exhaust hose. Someone had put hull extenders on it which then someone cut them down. I removed what was left.

Me too. I sold my SN SJ and B1 and now its a race to finish this RN project...it would be much faster/easier if I just sent it off to paint. However I'm going to re-gelcoat and it takes so much time to remove all the old paint (prior owner).I am trying to get it done for Daytona in january
We'll see.

De-foamed
I finished de-foaming today and all i have to say is "De-Foaming is like eating a bowl of spaghetti you keep eating and it looks like you will never finish and then all of a sudden your done" I put the must have tools in the pic's except for the rubber mallet and the shop vac. That black garbage bag is full of foam. I also took some measurements of what I cut since I couldn’t find it anywhere in the tech section. I am waiting for my scupper now and some more 404 to fill in the seams. Should I re-enforce the inside rails before I reafoam?
P.S. Alex who needs to catch up now…..:biggthumpup:

Just a thought, but.... My family has a boat called a carolina skiff, its basically a giant fiberglass tub on water. The floors on these boats are filled with the same foam jet skis are, not sure of the foams density though. Either way, these boats are very popular up here, and over the years, I have heard of or have seen many who have wet foam, much like a jet ski gets. 99% of the people fix this by tipping the boat up and drilling a few small holes in the back and letting it drain. It DOES drain the water and the foam is then good to use again.
Has anyone really tried this with a ski yet, instead of just cutting it up and refoaming? I dont see why it could not work, and its seems much much easier to drill, drain, and patch some holes.
Just my .02

Thats what Im doing except drilling holes. They were already there in my leaky footholds, when I had the hull upside down sanding, the water was draining out. So Im just gonna reglass my footholds, seal everything else up and call it good. Re-foaming is way too much work for me.
