Any suggestions or recommendations for removing the glue remnants that
held the vinyl & foam hull liner to the hull?
Thanks,

What Steve said, and make sure to be kind to your carpal tunnel by
wrapping a big pad around the end of the scraper handle.
It takes a while ... I did it in stages.
Here are some picture links:
I think it was well worth the effort.
Good luck!

Peter, The pictures that you have posted show such a clean boat.
I am impressed. But I have a question. The interior surface of the
cabin sides on Sin Tacha are smooth and painted white. On the Tern
they show the fiberglass mat and are a dull grey. Is this a something
that you did or has it more to do with the production year?

Delegate this job to your wife.
Obviously if you're currently unmarried then it's hardly a big enough task to warrant getting a wife for especially; however, if the internal varnishing needs re-doing or perhaps the hull wants a coat of antifoul as well; then marriage begins to make sense.

That's too much work for me. I scraped and brushed off the gross
stuff the used a grinder with a flexible disc to get down to bare
laminate where I was to epoxy the anchor strips for the ceiling. Then
I just covered it up with insulation and ceiling strips of yellow
cedar after using a shop-vac to remove the debris of course.
I agree, Sin Tascha is a very clean boat but I am no longer too
embarrassed to allow Peter aboard Lealea. d;^)
Aloha,
Chuck

Hi Chuck,
Do you remember the maximal lenght of the ceiling stip? Would 6 feet be long enough?
Thank you,
