: BTW....how are going about stripping the deck of your S&G boat? I've been
: weighing the option of making temporary beams to build the deck over, then
: sanding, fairing and 'glassing the outside. Then remove the deck, turn it
: over and do the same underneath. Then remove the beams from the hull and
: place the deck on just like you would a regular stripper.

Garland, I asked the same question about 2 months ago and got a lot of good responses. Search for Strip Deck on S&G Hull back in Feb or early Mar. I haven't started building yet, so can offer no personal experience. Maybe by this fall I can tell you some mistakes to avoid! Keep us posted if you do this ---- I'm interested in your experiences.
