SJ, I have purchased pretty much all the materials needed to do the rebuild. I have all of the resin and fiberglass sitting here in the garage ready to go. I have the sheet of Coosa staring at me too. I've also been chipping away at rebuilding the trailer. The bunks were trash and anything not...

Got an update........the lid on the can of worms continues to be peeled back further. Saturday afternoon I finished the transom demo, which I thought would be the end of demo on this project. As I chipped out around the edges, I went to pry back on the last section and the fiberglass cracked...
