    Got my four main deck sheets bottom side fiberglassed today with unwaxed resin and a sheet of 1708. They will go two on each side 16’ long. connecting in the center on top of the main stringer the length of the boat. Tomorrow I’d like to do two layers of 1708 on the topside of the four sheets...

    Got the transom fiberglass off today. Some rot as seen in the pics mostly at the bottom, might be some rot higher on the starboard side. Any ideas about staggering partial replacement wood pieces assuming there is good wood to work with, or just replace it all. Looks like wood 1/3 to 1/2 way up...

    I have decided on 3/4' exterior plywood and polyester resin to do my floor. Will treat both side's of floor with resin and mat before installing, but what is best material to fill any voids in the plywood both sides before glassing? And glue to use to attach the floor to the stringers? With screws.

    Well cleaned out most of the rest of the floor a little around the edge and get the remainder of the wood off the stringers and that part is done. I had hoped with fiberglass stringers there was a minute chance the transom would be ok but u can see in the second pic a black hole in the transom...

    There is zero foam in the stringers. The two inside main stringers have a 1” diameter hole on the inside at the center. I can reach with wire both ways and zero obstruction. And to answer my own earlier question no plywood or any other wood inside. What I’m wondering is will I gain anything by...

    As I get more into this the next question is becoming the stringers. 1968 bellboy boat is it fiberglass over some plywood underneath, or straight fiberglass? 12” wood sticking out of the middle starboard stringer but looks almost like the floor at the front was replaced and it was easier for...

    I'm not to up on the plumbing in above pics and would like a sink, and a porta pot will do as a head. But curious about fixtures in the floor. Is the port bow fitting a head drain and the two starboard fittings a water supply for sink and head and the drain I know is for the sink. So some kind...

    I have most of the floor out and today removed the helm and the cabinet/sink in front of it. I can remove the bad plywood that was under them. Then I have to remove some cuddy bracing for the bed and get the last of the bad plywood that was under there. Then I got about three feet at the stern...

    Brought this home on the weekend 13 hour rounder to Biggs Junction Oregon and back to Grand Forks B.C. Got the 1/2” plywood floor 1/2 tore out, had multiple soft spots probably caused by water sloshing around in the two inside hull compartments, for how long that’s been going on who knows. For...
