Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
yippeeee got to work on the boat today. i managed to get the deck 90% cut and fitted. doesnt sound like much but its a huge step forward and step closer to fiberglass.
the first picture is the back where i am going to make cover that can be removed to...
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
well we got some time to spend on the boat today. Got the transom cut out and pretty much fitted. not as perfect as i imagined but that was due our not thinking right. when we cut the transom we cut it straight instead of on an angle to allow for the...
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
Spent the day grinding it away
BUT HELP:eek: i think i messed up large
that there ladies and gents is i hole yup i ground that spot and it went right thru but to my defense it was thin along that edge and right where it went thru is where peanut...
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
and the last pic after a last nights grinding
this pic kinda shows the spot near the transom that is so thick (the circles area) and it doesn't have any fibers in it just looks like it thickened and stuck extremely well
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
heres a couple pics of the transom and the thickness
2nd pic is the thickness im dealing with so yeah grinder is gonna be the way
heres a before pic
and an after pic and grinding isnt even done yet
According to the time stamp of the first pics i took...
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
heres a couple more pics they arnt very good taking with my cell phone
towards the back and front of the boat the glass to seemed to get real thin so i think im going to try grinding those areas with my flapper disks. hopefully a little slower material...
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
well another update bought some grinding disks and a backer pad for the grinder and planned on starting to grind last night. When i got out to the boat i tried the backer pad on my grinder and wouldn't ya know it would fit. So i thought of a trick we do...
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
this is the idea i have for stringers the two outer one right to the transom
the middle one beefed up for ski pole anchor
and the extra one across the back side to side so ihave a lip to be able to rest the removable cover on
the very back of the...
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
i made a little more progress last night. we removed the entire front ski locker and rest of deck cleaned out the stringers. surprisingly the center stringer came out in almost one sopping very fragile piece. im going to let it dry out and hopefully be...
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
WOG on your clamps and the drawing you have im a little confused whats the epoxy in the one picture for.
the other picture you have the clamps installed on the boat do you have the bolt thru the first 2x4 with washer then between the two 2x4 you a...
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
i kinda found it odd that the stringers didn't go straight to the transom
next step of the game is to get the front structure and ski locker out and remainder of the floor. and that will give me a bigger picture of what there is to redo and how to do...
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
sounds good to me i actually saw that stuff the other night when i was looking for tite bond. thank you
NOW oh boy do i have questions for you guys. I was able to remove a third of the deck last night . this is what it looks now no stringers just...
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
i found a restoration of a gt-150 and i think i like this idea for the transom area looks clean and functional. just wondering if its a doable addition to mine
the only thing i have that that boat doesnt have is a big hydralic pump for the trim
Re: banshee transom and likely stringers
ok these pics are straight down the transom with the plywood removed and at the bottom is the hull but somewhere in that area i expected to see something that would resemble a stringer or wood.
the third image is the center of the transom where the...
