Title: 73 Kona rebuild
Post by: tator321 on September 19, 2010, 12:53:50 PM
I finally started gutting the Kona ! After removing the carpet and plywood where the front seats was I noticed what I would call gussets  :-\ there is three on each side coming off the stringers. The one in the middle looks as if it has a 1 x on each side and then filled with some kind of epoxy. My question is are these original to the boat or been added. Basicly not sure what to do with these, thought of cutting them out and glassing in new one's  :-\ Maybe Frankloc will chime in since he just rebuilt his Kona.

No problem Frankloc, My build is going to take a little longer then I thought seeing how three days after i bought the boat my hours at work got cut  :mad: but hopefully it wont be for long. Are you going to be posting your other pics to your build thread ?

Hey Mom...lol with other boats I had I/O I boated the intercoastal and the area your talking about ( ski island) also the st johns river which is fresh but since this is my first jet im undecided about boating in the intercoasal seeing how its brackish water and im a little concearned about what the salt would do corrosion wise  :-\
