Hi Sarah , Im pleased to say she floated.I had the boat perched up on the highest point of the bank at the time of the year the spring tides were at there highest.that gave me the maximum time to strip back to good wood,prepare,scarf in and replace new marine ply and glass over.We found a method for an all in one epoxy type glass coat so all that had to be done on the next tide was an undercoat of 2pk epoxy paint and so on until the two hulls were complete,then finished with more coats of undercoat ,antifoul and topside painting.Im very happy with the end results .
