Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.
I still plan to tab the corners in and add a layer of CSM two more layers of 1708 to the outside of the transom. All I did with the existing layers of CSM and 1708 was fill in the missing peice of glass leaving myself a flush surface to smooth...
Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.
I truly get what you are all saying. Yes, the hull was at one point layed up as a single item. Then while it was in a jig, the structure was added and so on. And yeah, I know that I dont know boats very well but I am very familiar with...

More.
So why not put a few layers onto the transom itself before install. One layer of csm should wet out to .044. One layer of 1708 should wet out to .045. The hull thickness in the area that this needs to match is 1/8 inch.
Aftef this...
Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.
Ok WOG. I really don't think were on thd same page at all. I understand your previuosly stated method for both re-installing the ol skin and for using the wood as a mold.
Here is why we think think the laminations should be placed on the...
Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.
Nope, sorry jbcurt00. But thanks for the tip. I like this game very much. We should just call it the "You bet and loose nothin but I learn somethin" game. Ok really though, finally I get say this to someone else. You're way overthinking...
Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.
Hey thanks Brett. Thanks for the "atta boy". It's much appreciated. I hope things will really start to shape up. It seems like I'm fighting it pretty hard though. First timers syndrome I guess.
Hey WOG. Thanks again man. I'm pretty sure...
Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.
Then I took the best peice of old stringer and again used my pre-demo measurement of 144 inches, layed the stringer against the inside edge of my droppers, pulled the stringer 144 inches front tip away from the temped in transom board, created a...
Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.
Next I marked out my center line on my transom. I then extended a chalk line from the center tip of the bow point back to the center line on the transom and snapped a line across my center braces.
I took my pre-demo mesurement of 18 inches...
Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.
I got started out this afternoon by tracing my transom template onto my new transom board. I first tried using my jigsaw to make the cut but it would barely cut and wanted to force the blade onto an angle. I was using a new wood cutting blade so...
Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.
Hey JNG. I placed a jack with a board underneath the transom area and I have had the bow brace the entire time. I can see how having yhe cradle would have helped for sure.
Jbcurt00. The transom doesn't extend the entire length of the stern...
Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.
Today I got my transom boards cut and my stringer boards cut, but not fit. I laminated the two transom boards together by using a whole bunch of titebond 3 wood glue some screws, a couple of boards and a bunch of clamps. It's already setting up...
Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.
I got the shelter torn down and the garage vacuumed and blown out really well today. I hope I dont need to deal with much more gringing. I will need to do some though and that's ok.
With the shelter out of the way I was able to get a very...
Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.
Here are those panels.
And here is where the tank mounted in between the stringers. It was a very tight fit. I don't know how that bottle of Coppertone fit down the side to get in there. This may be in the area that the stringers joint together.
