[QUOTE="jault, post: 224667, member: 6946"] Recently acquired an old Norseman Crestliner to restore it for my boys. I have stripped everything off the boat and it is currently being sandblasted and epoxy painted to original boat colors. Question #1 A sheet of plywood that was removed from the transom outside the boat. I am not sure if it was a previous repair or original to the boat. Is the plywood used for any purpose other than strengthening the transom. I was thinking of using a plate of 1/4" or 3/8" aluminum instead of marine grade plywood. Question #2 Any ideas about floatation replacement and its placement in the hull. Sorry about format- new to this concept of posting. jeff [ATTACH type="full" alt="Interior.jpg"]28972._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Stern.jpg"]28971._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Floor removal.jpg"]28973._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Interior floor removal.jpg"]28974._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
