Anybody have a tube for a 2000 Gulfstream, or know where to find? Probably a standard size but I didn’t get the old one with the new-to-me boat, so can’t check size. Thanks in advance.

FWIW, years ago I did a similar resto on a ‘71 Wellcraft Airslot 24 (Cathedral hull). She was almost as rough. Once the debris was cleaned out and I started pulling thru-hulls etc, found that the glass was an inch and a half thick or more - hope you find the same! Fortunately the wiring and...

How did you lift them out - by the plumbing? Don’t see a handle or lift ring... how heavy?
