With not much to do and no time to do it, I decided to purchase this 1978 J24 for $1000.00 and start a renovation project.  There was a decent 3.5HP motor and a trailer included in the deal and they were both in pretty good shape.  I figured, I was financially ahead at the beginning...

 The bottom is in good shape. I plan to do a light sand to get it cleaned up and put another paint job on it.  No blisters to deal with...  As far at the hull goes, the major work is in the keel well.  I had a Vermiculite disaster.

I used my rotozip to cut out the floor.  This was fun and only took about 30 minutes.  Once the fiberglass floor was removed, the verm was revealed and the work began.

This is what the floor/sump looks like now.  Once I get the hull completly dry, I will fill the sump with fiberglass.  I will glass in ribs to support the new teak/holly floor.  This was a messy job but not really hard.  It only took about 6 hours to get to this point...

Started working on the bottom today.  Light sanding to clean up the bottom.  Getting it ready for a new paint job.
