Re: Fiberglass Boat Floor Replacement
I'm working on a really tight budget ... Is there some way I can go about replacing the Stringers as a temporary fix ... Solid... but wet none-the-less
I think many of us begin our first resto (maybe every resto) the same way.. here is a my top 10 list for resto projects for your enjoyment..
The 10 steps of restoration denial:
1. That soft spot just needs a patch
2. The foam will dry out once I seal the deck
3. It's just the deck, the stringers are fine
4. i don't have to pull the engine; I can work around it
5. The transom feels solid
6. I won't have to remove the cap, plenty of room
7. i will just buy a couple of gallons of resin
8. $1,000 is plenty for a job like this
9. I should be on the water by the end of the month
10. I need a beer! Nothing is going as planned!
Restos aren't cheap and cheaping out on them will probably cost you more in having to redo it shortly thereafter. Save up and do what you can when you can. Your life is at risk on a mickey moused boat, especially without foam.
