    1988 Stingray SVB 192 Restoration

    Re: 1988 Stingray SVB 192 Restoration I have some pictures of the transom. The sheets of ply are delaminating in the section that has been made thicker to accomodate the outdrive. As you can see in the pictures, this section has two more plys than the rest of the transom. The wood was wet...

    1988 Stingray SVB 192 Restoration

    Re: 1988 Stingray SVB 192 Restoration Oops! Thanks for showing up. You picked a great time as I am planning on going off on that POS this weekend.

    Re: 1988 Stingray SVB 192 Restoration Well, I took a couple of weeks off from the boat to deal with the hurricane, etc. I got back into it last weekend and was actually somewhat successful in removing the cap (hit a couple of bumps). So now I have cut out all of the wood in the deck that I can...

The day after I pulled it form the boat, I tore it down. The internals were all sqeaky clean, the head and block looked brand new inside the...

    1988 Stingray SVB 192 Restoration

    Re: 1988 Stingray SVB 192 Restoration So here is where I am as of today. As I mentioned earlier, I may have gotten a little ahead of myself. I have done all of this work below while the boat was on a roller trailer which I gather is not good, also as shown in the pictures, the rot does extend...

    Re: 1988 Stingray SVB 192 Restoration By the end of week 1 I had mad a couple of exploratory cuts in the deck to see how bad it looked. Of course it was mush, the entire deck had foam under it and the stringers were soaked, black in most places and the glass was peeling off them in sheets. I...

    Deck and Stringer Work while on trailer

    I have seen on other sites that sole and stringer replacement should not be done on the trailer. There have been several restorations documented on this site that have done so. It seems that the knowledge base is better here and this site is definitely a ton friendlier. Does anyone have...
