1964 Atlas

 

From the front

Summer 05.....our first summer as new boat owners.

 

from the rear

Lots of fun all summer.

 

Interior

The Passenger side seating wasn't fixed to the floor very well.

 

Uh-Oh

After Winter Storage (Inside) I decided to fix that passenger seat. Turns out there wasn't much for the seat to screw into. I found a nice little crack in the fiberglass on top of the floor. When I peeled it back, I discovered a nice pile of plywood mulch. Looks like it's time for a new floor.

 

Hole Close UP

Close up of the new hole.

 

Out with the old

Cutting out the old floor. I am having a much tougher time with this than I thought I would. Seems that not all of the floor is totally mulch. I did discover a little bit of standing water along the center stringer.

 

This can't be good

This is the center stringer lookin aft. The stingers are hard and solid, but they are pretty moist, hopefully just on the outside.

 

Most of the foor out

I now have most of the floor out.

 

Front Closeup

Here is a closeup of the front floor section. I am not quite sure if I have gone far enough forward. Forward of here is a fiberglass bulkhead that steps up for soem storage under the bow. The plywood floor in this area was solid and hard to cut (and I was pretty nervous next to the outside hull.

 

Center section

This is a closeup of the center section. There is standing water on either side of the center stringer. Most of the plywood in this area was soft and crumbled in my hand.

 

Looking aft

Floor removed aft. I have a little further to go.

 

Hull to floor

The plywood appeared to be glued to the hull. No saws in this area, too scary.

 

The wrecking area

Nice pile of rubble on the garage floor.
