Last season while black fishing I started taking on lots of water and my bilge stopped working, so we nearly sunk the boat!
Got back to the launch and the back of the boat sunk just as we got it on the trailer and winched up.
I found the the self bailing scuppers had ripped through the transom because of a weak and flexing transom. So I started this project three weeks ago.

I was able to take off the main engine and kicker, remove all the hardware,loosen the center console and unhook all the wiring in about 8 hours.
Then built the frame and lifted/separated the topside from the hull in about 6 hours the next day.
