the liner trim was pretty rotten the teak was laminated to plywood, I separated and salvaged as much of the teak as I could, I dont know if i will put it back there but plan to use it in some fashion. I was thinking about playing around and making a slab of resin and wood to use as the dash panel on the console. kinda like the "river tables" that are all over the place. if not at a minimum some accent pieces/ Seacraft placard type pieces/inlays etc. some way of reusing the original wood.

I've been trying to get the windshield off without breaking it, manages to out enough of the dryrotted rubber seals to pop out the front pieces without breaking them, and was able to cut the frozen bolts of the front pieces from inside the cabin. I was hoping to be able to be able to separate and slide the frame out from the side pieces but no go....I cant locate/access the bolts for the side windows... any thought? I'm thinking I may only be able to get to them once the seavette cap is lifted off the boat...every time I turn around I find more screws and bolts holding it on. It also sits on the gunnel lip where some of you have your rails mounted and if 5200'd in place... whats the but way to separate it? oscillating saw? or does acetone of alcohol soften up the sealant?

It would be best to remove the glass prior to the frames...Long handled extension on a ratchet should work...twist till the nut loosens or breaks off either way you win and remove the frames...the company that built that windshield is still in business as far as I know (do a search) and the can supply you with new bolts as I have bought some from them in the past....Nice boat!

I was able to get the glass out with out breaking any of the panels, aluminum frame was a pain but finally got that off, then with a sawzall, oscillating multitool scrapers pry tool and "marine formula de-bond" i was able to seperate the seavette cap with only minor damage, but in one piece.

2 years later... finally brought the boat "home" and might actually start to make some significant progress... did cause a little headache getting it home from work... we had started on the dissembling and separating the top cap... well on the way home the bow was above my view point out the rear window and enough airflow got under neath the lip of the cap and snapped it the strap i had going port to starboard.... so i increased my work load... I was able to get it off the road but its pretty damaged...so its one more thing to build/try to repair. how much fiberglass do you guys typically go through on a rebuild? I was gonna start buying rolls of glass supplies (coosa for the transom, probably divinycell or nidacore for the cap and floor) while I cut the floor out and start prepping for rebuild.
