Alcort Catfish SMEDLEY Transom Repair
04 Oct 24:
We are enjoying a few Fall like days, so activity is increasing in the boat yard. We flipped our Alcort Catfish SMEDLEY over so that we can remove the deck edge trim on the stern(s), part of the prep for a repair. As usual, the line hoist designed by Skipper made it easy for just one person to roll the boat without damage to person or boat.
The port stern was damaged during transit from Florida to Virginia. The first step is to remove the aluminum trim that covers the deck/hull seam, which is done by drilling out a few aluminum rivets.
