YIKES![/QUOTE]

That Pultrusion stuff is looking pretty good right about now, eh Jerry?

[/QUOTE]

To say the least Tom! I agree that it is an ambitious project that most would not even consider doing, me included.

It actually brings back  a mini nightmare of my 1989 trip to Lake of the Woods where I lost about a 2x2'  chunk of the gelcoat and fiberglass about two weeks into a 5 week trip.  We had to lift the front of the boat with a borrowed end loader, grind down the edges of the gelcoat and apply a bunch of those fiberglass repair kits to the damaged area to keep fishing.

It worked so well that I was able to continue fishing the rest of the year from that a boat with broken stringers, including another four-week Lake of the Woods outing the month of September.  That fiberglass repair deal probably caused me to switch over to an aluminum hull in 1990!   :o

I'm looking forward to watching the progress of this project, please keep us updated John[/QUOTE]
