[QUOTE="Chasinchrome84, post: 406095, member: 18192"] Day 2 Was able to spend some time on the boat today. Spent the first part of the day drilling out rivets and removing the old sheet metal so that i could get to the floor. The old floor was absolutely SOAKED from years of neglect. Honestly for as much time as i spent on the boat this last year i am surprised it held up as good as it did.

As i had suspected by how how heavy the boat was, the foam was literally soaking wet. Also, i was kind of shocked by how poor of a job Alumacraft did at putting foam in the boat.
