I知 currently rebuilding a 146r and will hopefully be finished replacing the stringers and transom soon.Once this is done I知 thinking of removing the boat from the support cradle and putting it back on the trailer before installing the new floor.The reason for this is so I can take the boat to the river and check for any leaks before doing the floor.Once removed from the cradle it would be a pain in the arse to put it back on.I知 hoping that the new stringers will support the hull sufficiently while installing the new floor while the boat is on the trailer?
I知 also thinking of putting some inspection ports in the floor to help air circulation and reduce moisture buildup under the floor when the boat not being used (good or bad idea?)
Any feedback appreciated
Not a fan of that idea Kevin, from the pics of the work you've done it looks pretty solid plus I don't know but suspect that the process of removing it from the cradle, getting it onto your trailer snd launching/retrieving it will likely twist your hull and fracture some of your work.
One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce and canonized those who complain.
