I appreciate everyone's interest. I appreciate you input.

I am a new member to the WhalerCentral site so they will not let me do a Project Album yet.

SO....I have posted photos on my Personal Page.

Since the bottom was already cut by the Coasties, I went ahead and took off half the bottom on the stern section. Gladly, while there is a lot of water present inside the hull, the foam being closed cell is not saturated as I suspected.

To the guy who said this is not a real post, I have several grinders. Come on over and itch a while......
