18' offshore remodel

[sea-n-stars]

i've been lurking here but time to come out off the shadows...kinda like aa first step.
So i had my arm twisted by my buddy who owns a marina to undertake 1 more boat project. For the low price of $600 i got a 18' leaky hull with some assembly required.

pulled the transom since I'm redoing everything....

3/4" marine ply. I've been thinking about going with vinyl on top but now maybe using diamond plate??? then down the road I could go back in and add some structure to reinforce the dp and getting rid of the wood?

now I'm redoing my trailer to fit the SC, make it easier on myself too


added another roller to my junk yard trailer.

Off with the old clunker on with the new one

the bunks are drying and I hope to have them back on the trailer this weekend along with the boat!

A link to the OP's pics as a slideshow for now: http://s86.photobucket.com/user/sea-n-stars/slideshow/?sort=3

I recommend IMGUR for hosting now... PB's change really is such a money grab... and they STILL are way over ad sold.

thanks Renderwurx! im still trying to muddle my way through this.

:welcome: to the Starmada :wave:

Looks like you've got a start on the offshore tear down and into trailer work now.

That transom has some really thick nasty corrosion stuck to it, so be sure you clean the AL inner skin really well to get that stuff off it. Fill the pitting and then prime/paint it for lasting protection. Maybe one of the worst I've seen well except for my Chief, it was that bad but twice the size.

sea-n-stars nice looking project you have there. You'll get the pic posting thing worked out.

I use postimages.org and then paste the code between the img tags. Works well for me so far.

Following along on this one. Welcome Aboard!!

 

[sea-n-stars]

thanks everyone! i'll give postimages a shot. I think the problem is the IE I have to use at work.

IE has been giving many users grief when posting pics. I can't get it to work, but Firefox and Chrome can post pics. On a work computer you probably don't have to option to install either one. :blue:

And the Photobucket fiasco simply complicates the issue. Hope we can see some pics. :smile:
