theres many cracked ribs, mostly around the bulkhead area, I'll try to get another pic tomorrow.
I think the pic you asked about is the port floor support
aluminum broken near the bulkhead. broken between 2
rib sections, so a lot off floor was unsupported, probably caused by the
wood rotting and the floor flexing inboard/outboard.
it's the piece of vertical
aluminum running from the
engine to the
cabin.
tomorrow I hope to start applying gluvit to the rivets and seams below the
water line.
I had to replace 7 rivets with stainless bolts because the previous owner butchered the
repair with galvanized hex bolts.
Once that's watertight, the sole goes back in and I start on the transom
