I agree, the
hardware will be very interesting to see. I can only see based on the video that I have from the diver. Good diver by the way. The
hull is in excellent shape, no blistering or anything. I would build my own if it was just
fiberglass...me personally, I would build it completely from
fiberglass (Complete fan of overkill) and never deal with coring failure ever again. However, based on how the upper and lower posts are separate from one another based on what I can see from the damaged areas, it will probably need a new lower support post. I am not much of a stainless TIG welder, so I am probably going to go the
route of having a company build a new one. I will know more when we get it out of the
water next Sunday. I hate that I cannot do this myself, but sometimes you have to just defer to a company and people who do this everyday for a living and have access to a larger
marine brain trust than I do.
