Hi all I am going to be doing a partial restore on my new to me 1979 Cruisers Holiday. The PO had a new long block installed but there is still a fair amount of mechanical issues. I just got done putting in a new gimbal ring, boots, shift cable, gimbal bearing, and water pump. Now that I have that behind me I need to take off the automotive carb and get rid of the 3 year old gas in the tank.
Next on the list is the deck and stringers. The deck has 2 soft spots where there are holes in the mooring cover, and I found that the top 2 inches of the stringers in those spots are soft. I took samples all over the transom but to my huge surprise it is very solid so I lucked out there. What are everyone's suggestions for fabric weight on the stringers? I am going to use polyester resin don't know if that makes a difference or not.
Thanks everyone for the help so far that I have found on the forums!!
