I did a job similar to this years ago on a 1981 Ski Supreme. It was a beast of job, but fun (Using the term loosely) at the same time. I actually took the boat apart at the rub rail and lifted the top half out of the way to do the work and it made things a little easier on me. I remember taking a lot of measurements on the old flooring while tearing it out, so I could look back at them for the construction of the new. Any old supports that I could use as a template I did. I even would put cardboard beside the old rotten pieces before tear out to try and get a good template to use. The job turned out great. So much so that my neighbor offered me more than I had in it shortly after completion. I only got to enjoy the fruit of my labor a hand full of times.

William you did the supreme right, some don't take it apart as needed  and make a wreck out of it.

Brett there are archived details rebuilds here within the forum.

other good resources of techniques and glasswork and materials selection on YT channel FriscoBoater's Garage, and BoatworksToday, as well as many others

There's no need to get up under the bow to take the engine or drivetrain out.

I just thought you'd maybe like a little "snarkasm" since you haven't been here in a while Wink

Hello Ken you old salt...asd always, appreciate the sage like advise.

Anyone need some foam chunks??
If there is another layer the Southwind will become a yard ornament or paintball target.

Yes, I guess I do like it that much or I hope too...bought it as a project. Never had it on water.
Great observation of the stud wall.

That Gun Driver............always checkin' out the studs Wink

Somebody on here could probably e mail you a manual for that OMC engine.

It's not me, but I think his screen name begins with s and ends with williams if I remember right.

I would greatly appreciate a manual.
i have a few basic questions...real entry level stuff.I am attaching two pics, question is are these considered "stringers" at first, I thought any of the wood under the fiberglass was part of the stringers. Now I am thinking the stringers are the stringers and the two pics I am adding are just part of the decking or whatever the technical name is. 
if they are not part of the stringers, does this mean they do not need to be replaced with the accuracy needed for the stringers? Can I customize, move, etc?
expand for storage, built in cooler etc?

Brett,
No, the wood in you picture are not part of the stringer system. It's there so there's something to screw the forward seats to.

You should probably focus on searching the forum for things like BFN or Barefoot Nautique stringers, or "weeding the pumpkin patch" Wink

Since the Southwind and BFN are pretty much the same under the sole (ya catch that Pete?) you'll come up with a number of detailed threads about replacing their stringers and floors that you'll get plenty of info from.

Uh oh, I think that what I think I remembered is not quite what Steve was offering to e mail Wink

He was offering to e mail a wiring diagram, not a complete manual, but PM him anyways, a wiring diagram might be handy.

He has a manual but it's on paper from what I could figure out looking at his old posts.

Sent Brett a PM. I don’t mind sending a copy of what I have but manuals sometimes will cover a limited amount of model numbers. If I had your model number then I can see if mine covers yours. Manuals for Omc aren’t hard to find, just figuring out which one is the hard part. I also have a parts manual. Steve

Not much scheduled for the project this weekend as cooler weather prep dictates chores...
I am going to get the motor ready to pull.
From my reading here it seems pretty straight forward
Take plenty of pictures
label everything I disconnect
pull motor and drive together
clean shop floor.

please keep in mind that I have no mechanical or construction experience whatsoever so extreme novice.

I red on here somewhere in one of the stringer threads that doing the stringers is something everyone should do once.
made sense...and then I decided everyone should also rebuild a 350 in their life.

there is so much source material available...why not try...
total investment in project so far-300.00 including the boat...worst case, lots of entertainment for little investment.
best case-man card!!!
