Voracity rebuild project

[fweasel]

Picked up a Voracity 36 from eBay that had a small flex shaft issue. I wasn't looking for another boat, but I couldn't pass it up for the price. My CSI investigation leads me to believe the boat was driven once, maybe twice, with no additional grease in the stuffing tube. The flex shaft broke, catastrophically, broke the stuffing tube, and continued to spin at high RPM while ripping the stuffing tube apart, slapping the bottom of the hull, and tore through the servo wire. I've already ordered a new 9/32" K&S brass tube, .187 teflon liner, OSE flex shaft, prop, and some fiberglass supplies. Hope to have it seaworthy before the cold weather hits.

On to the carnage... (the white spots in the 4th picture are sunlight shining through from the underside of the hull in the weak spots)
