This new topic is for anyone restoring boats from scratch where there might be interest in a set of old hulls that I'm either going to give away for free or cut up and take to the dump. Boat is just east of Edmonton. We have a couple other seaspray skeletons that rank above this one in terms of restoration potential - so this particular boat's number is up.
 
If someone is interested in taking it off our hands- great. Besides saving me some disposal work, I hate to think about throwing this out if there's anyone out there interested in grabbing it for restoration.
 
From I recall, the boat is older seaspray vintage, complete white hulls (some soft spots), 3 crossbars intact, center tube detached. No tramp, no mast (could give you really bowed one), no boom, no rudders, no daggers, no rigging, steering intact but looks pretty rickety.
 
To save the group email some traffic, if interested please text or call Ryan at 780 907 2111
 
Thanks.

Hi DonL
 
From what you wrote it appears that you are doing things correctly. Hope to join you for a sail to see how the finished rebuild works.

Thanks for the info Stan. The hulls of 1791 are quite light so I suspect
they had any foam removed already. 2329 on the other hand had one hull that
was very heavy and it was all I could do to lift it. I took the decks off
of both hulls and found complete saturation in the heavy one. The
interesting feature in the other was the two part foam did not work and was
a thin dense layer that could not hold water and was quite difficult to
remove. A few of the foam filled tubes that were used to stiffen the hulls
are saturated but I left them alone. One of the suggestions on the website
was to put a hole through the base of the tubes to allow water to move to
the back of the hulls and out the drain. I chose not to do that as I was
worried that I would create a situation that would allow wicking up all of
the tubes. Now that the foam is gone, the tubes create a series of baffles
so I created a ramp on one side to let any water pass over the baffle. In
retrospect, I should have left the dense stuff as it filled the gap between
the baffles.Hopefully I have done things right so no water will enter the
hulls. I am not so concerned about overall weight and have re-gelcoated the
top and bottom of 1791 due to all of the fiberglassing that was required
and put two layers of gelcoat on the deck of 2329 to cover the repairs on
the cuts needed to lift the decks and to fill assorted holes. I remember
that 2236 was quite a bit heavier than your and Dave's boats even though it
was right out of the factory.
