Winter project began with the family dog eating into the 1974 KONA black carpet, what the hell, time to gut out the rotten entire insides(sponge floor), then because there were 2 layers of flooring, 1 not walked on(not jet boat stringers supporting big block), eliminate the single stringer design by adding 2 more stringers for 1 single floor(3 new stringers & stiffer hull). I'll add the final finished photos over these last 4 weekends to come, blue carpet(cooler feet), stronger transom, functioning bilge pump, rewired electrical, reengineered lighter stronger seating, shorter sidewalls(beer/speakers/etc), fire extinguisher proper mount, remounted hydro's/battery. See ya this summer Bro's & Sis', Mother's Day Weekend AVI Again?++.......

Whats the best epoxy and fiberglass to purchase for building a new floor plus fixing hull(1973 Kona 19ft). I screwed the pooch because the original floor was so close to the hull and crooked so I sawed a thin line through a few inches of the hull(peekaboo garage concrete). I want it super strong because last season(2018) I spent $3000 bucks having the entire top and lower 140hp 2 stroke motor/tranny rebuilt. Thanks Brothers & Sisters. :banghead

When the day comes to say goodbye to the 73 Mercury 140HP, I am leaning toward financing a new 225HP-300HP evinrude or mercury on a 73 KONA 19FT. It still isn't Flat-Bottom 2000HP Big Block to a PROP FAST but should get up N go.  Any suggestions or thoughts? Top Speed??
