We have a Mariner 40 O/B and I'm looking for a PTT for it...
Trouble is I don't which type/model I should be looking for.

We had a hiatus in the Resto since my last post in March 2013 - combination of Winter, Holiday Trip, and Illness...
Nothing at all done to the boat since that post...
Re: Jedo's Volero Dart Resto...
Now awaiting delivery of Gelcoat.
The whole hull will be scuffed and 3 layers of Gelcoat rolled on - with final layer of gelcoat + wax rolled on... Flattened and buffed...
Gunwhales will be painted same as top...
The hull will then be put back on the trailer...

Well... Despite trying, I wasn't able to source 1708 here in Australia...
I was able to source woven roving - but three different suppliers (here in Australia) advised me against using this..!!
The consensus of three Aus boat-repairers I have consulted is "go...

Re: Jedo's Volero Dart Resto...
Ooops..!!!!
A momentary lapse of diligence whilst cutting away the upper deck in the preparatory phase...
Cut through the Hull...:facepalm:
And another pic of that transom ply...
1st Note to Self: Check what's underneath before cutting anything...

Re: Jedo's Volero Dart Resto...
Chuffed with ourselves today...
With the help of my beautiful bosun...
We managed to gut-out the rotten transom...
From the INSIDE...
AND...
Leave the outer skin intact:joyous:
Did make one boo-boo though... (tell you later...:embarassed:)

More Pics...
The Hull looks straight - no Hooks evident...
And here is the cut I've made in the stern cap...

Re: Jedo's Volero Dart Resto...
Continued:
2 more PICS before I started cutting...
So what we are seeing so far is:
The "whole" boat looks Not Too Bad...
The FG on the deck is loose and riddled with holes (screw and bolt holes)...
The under-lying deck Ply is well rotted - non existent in...
