Steve,

Thanks for the insights. I've actually been able to keep all the foam in place and was able to use a knife, (putty knife), to scrape the old wood away, actually it was so rotted it was quite easy. It also gave me a good pattern along with my photos and measurements to rebuild the boat.

I'm using 3/4" treated ply and putting a coat of spar on the underside and then will be glassing the full topside, with two sheets, just like I would the hull of one of my refinished canoes.

I'm trying to find a cherry picker for the motor as well as looking for a good 4 stroke 90 as long as I'm doing the full rebuild.

I will post photos hopefully tonight.
