Well, all of the carpet is out, got a new piece of 3/4 inserted were it butts up next to the transom. I cut out a piece of soggy flooring in the back. All of the styrafoam was completely soaked and holding moisture rotting the wood above it. Cut out more of that and removed the soaked foam for now. Drilled out the rivets of the gunnels so I could run carpet all the way up to the side without a seam at the bottom of the old gunnels and removed the capping on the back of the transom. Noticed the transom has rot on the top of it and the laminate wood glued together for the transom appears to be separating slightly. This may never end.

Has anyone else had similar issues to these on their rebuilds?

Stopping at Tuffy tomorrow to pick up the carpet, glue vinyl gunnels and check out the possibility of changing out my gauge panels.
