    1984 hydrasports rebuild

    I don't know if any of you know but this is kind of a hydra specific question since I'm rebuilding one for the second time "the right way this time" anyway I have the back of my top cap loose and there seems to be something more up front holding it down. I have done used a sawsall to cut around the consoles and the rod locker but is there any where else that the manufacture would hve glassed the two together?

    What about the whole base of the seat section attached to the sub floor? Also one of the storage compartments in the center just ahead of my consoles was bonded to the hull in my Skeeter.

    You might look inside the front storage compartments and if there is a compartment they probably glued the wood to the hull. I read a post about 6 months ago about a Hydrasports. Was that yours? It was i think clue and gray

    It has been over a month since I have done any work to the boat went out today and messed with it a bit since it was so warm. If this tells you how bad my transom is, I took my shop vac out and was able to suck out about 85% of the wood in the transom. I have already got the floor and the stringers out and getting ready to start getting my stuff together to replace the floor and when I get that finished I am going to start on the transom.
