Well let me introduce my self first..I'm George better known on here as Captain G. My father-in-law has had 2 boats in his yard for the past 1 1/2 yrs just sitting there..I had asked him severqal time to let me buy on efrom him he said no way was he selling to family..LOL..ohh well kept buggin g for the 1 1/2 yrs...finally told mother-in-law (who wanted the boats gone from the yard) that i wished he'd let me have one of the boats especially the big fiberglass one...(had 2 boats one little aluminum johnboat about 12ft with trailer no motor, and a starcraft bahama model 15 ft with a 60hp non-running engine) He finnaly broke and gave me the white fiberglass boat..<br />Now the fun begins..<br />Boat has stress cracks everywhere I step..well not every where just in the week spots....Easily fixed...Floor rotted..transom in good shape, steering in good shape,trailer in good shape...he told me he has a smaller like 50-55hp motor that is suppose to run that he had originaly bought for this boat but i haven't been over to get it put on yet...<br />I cut up old fiber glass that was on top of floor board...the wod under neath was like mush....YUCK...<br />near the rear of the boat wasn't as bad...still some bite to the wood with nails..<br />took it out anyway..<br />vaccumed out all the old wood crap...and fiberglass dust..now I find that there are like the fiber glass waves inside the boat that look like they have been draped over some wood but there is no wood inside..<br />To night when I took off the back last little piece of wood near the bilge I saw what was left of the wood inside and how it was layed..<br />Thank goodness...cuz I was just goingt ot fill the valleys with polystyrien foam and glass it back in then lay the floor and then glass again and install seats...<br /><br />That could have been bad..<br /><br />I will try to get my own web page made to show you guys my progress. <br />I have desided to lay the cross beams the way they did and only cut out a small section at a time and use liquid nails to hold the wood in place.<br />the use 1x2 or 2x2 to run the length of the boat..<br />Does this sound about right...Also does it have to be pressure treated wood or can I buy pine and coat it with resin??<br /><br />Pc
