[QUOTE="cooter brown, post: 220613, member: 6408"] I fish in freshwater and saltwater. My plan is to get all the wood and carpet out and go all aluminum w/ Kiwi grip or SeaDek. I'll bet I removed 150lbs of wet wood, carpet, and saturated foam. This has been discussed before, but Tracker used open cell foam throughout the boat. The foam under the front deck was an expandable foam. This stuff expanded under the drainage channels and blocked any flow to the back of the boat. Any water up front just sat there for years and saturated the open cell foam. [img]https://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll67/wforicv/IMG-20110803-00050.jpg[/img] Had a little visitor that wanted to help with the teardown. Actually, she was munching on pears and couldn't care less about the boat..... [img]https://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll67/wforicv/IMG-20110803-00045.jpg[/img] Above you can see the carnage from the sawzall and budweiser..... :lol: [img]https://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll67/wforicv/IMG-20110803-00046.jpg[/img] [img]https://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll67/wforicv/IMG-20110806-00057-1.jpg[/img] [img]https://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll67/wforicv/IMG-20110803-00049-1.jpg[/img] One more pic of my little visitor.....
