Wish me Luck

[basstech]

I started my boat refurbishing project that I started last year a week before I had my heart attack. Found a website called "BBC" bass boat chat or something. There is some really Impressive stuff some of those guys have done in repairing their boats. I highly recommend to all of you to check it out. I had neglected my boat so much that I was worried I would have to try and do some "impressive" stuff too... but hopefully I won't. Pulling my gas tanks tomorrow as well as everything in the bilge so I can get a good look at my stringers. I know what the stringers look like, would like to find out if any of you can tell me what to look for as far as damage is concerned so I can figure out how much work I'm going to have to do to refurbish my boat? How do I go about "testing" the structural integrity of the hull and transom? I've already done the "lift on the lower unit" test, is there anything else I can do to make sure it's all good? Thank you all for any input.
