'79 Grady White

[2manyboats]

Got rot. Transom rot. Dang. Anyone have experience with the method of transom replacement detailed by Rotdoctor.com? Don't know if I'm up to the challenge or expense. Done a good bit of work on her already-may just sell.

Re: '79 Grady White

Yeah, looking at some of the projects discussed on this forum makes this project seem small by comparison. Guess I'll start some research...

Re: '79 Grady White

Probably worth the effort and expense if your looking to sell. From what I've heard Grady's tend to have a good resale value.<br /><br />Bondo, are you trying to be politically correct?<br /><br />QOUTE ["Atleast it Isn't a,..... Well,..

2manyboats,<br />I see your a member at shareaproject, for another boat. Assuming you've seen this, but maybe not:<br /><br />1961 Grady White<br /><br />Its a beauty!

Re: '79 Grady White

What a beautify project they did. I think that in a prior thread regarding whether you would be uptight during the use of your restore project, I am not sure I would even move that GW out of the garage. I think I would get a chair, a beer and stare at it for hours!

Re: '79 Grady White

Yeah, that '61 is downright inspiring. The guy that did it is a finish carpenter, which helps, but the workmanship is beyond finish carpentry. Reka, I think all boat projects require a beer and stare chair, but the GW takes the cake!

By the way reka12, great project boat!

Re: '79 Grady White

Thanks 2 Many with 2 Little Time! Good luck with your transom repair. My dad had a 21 Mako that had rot throughout. The transom was repaired using the pour-in-place method and the stringers and some other spots they used rotdoctor. I always love the GWs. Let us know how it goes. Mike

Re: '79 Grady White

Will do Mike. I'll get it posted on Shareaproject in the next few months (that "2 little time" thing). I need to get done w/ the aluminum project first. Just another few days of good weather...
