    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Got the the outsides of the rear stringers tabbed tonight. The only thing left on the mounts is to add 1 more piece of 1708 from the top of the stringer down over the mount and onto the lower vertical. Then a few odds and ends, adding cleats, and capping the stringers and the rear section is...

    Hooked hull repair?

    First off, I know almost nothing about boating, I'm learning a lot from this site. So take this for what it is... When I was searching about hull work a while back I came across this site and how they talk about fixing hull "hook" >> https://www.boatcustoms.com/hull-blue-printing I would call...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Coming along after a busy weekend. I got the engine mounts built, installed, and tabbed with 2 layers of 1708 on the bilge-side. Still have tabbing to do on the other side of the stringers tonight after work. Also, my engine mounts have a 1" raised section 14" long where the engine mounts sit...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Looking for opinions. The gas tank originally had a 1/2" plywood and glass cover the full length that has an extruded aluminum edge and is fastened to the stringers with screws. This obviously allows any water to seep down around the tank and ultimately to the bilge. Not to mention the screws...

    1990 larson all american 195 4.3 confusion

    I too have a 1990 Larson that originally came with the 4.3 V-6. If yours has an HEI (GM car-type) distributor, then someone has swapped it out from the original Thunderbolt IV ignition. They must have never removed the old coil. With the single-wire hookup of the HEI distributor you will be left...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Got the rear bulkhead in. Not as much accomplished this weekend as I had hoped. I'm using a different poly supplier than when I did the transom and the new stuff takes a fair amount longer to cure, so I'm getting used to what I can do with it. Coated both sides of bulkhead, first with just resin...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Spent the last 2 nights building jigs to locate and adhere the Bulkhead and rear stringers that are part of the engine mounts. Now, to remove them and tear out the rest of the stringers and bulkhead. More grinding. The jigs will allow me to adhere the pieces at the finish height instead of...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Transom complete other than drilling holes for stern drive and slotting for steering shaft. Also need to add a little more PB at the top to even it out, but I'll wait until the next time I have to mix some. I installed 3/4" side pieces where the original design had none. Everything tabbed and...

    Installing new decking question

    That math is not right. 4'x16' x2 for both sides is 128 sf or 14.2 sq yards. No need for 1708 on bottom, only 1.5 oz CSM.

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    OK, I'm looking for a little advice from the group. I hope I can explain this right. My boat has two "shelfs", or compartment bottoms that are glassed into the sides of the hull around 6-8' long. The purpose (or at least main purpose) of these is that they make up the bottom of the integrated...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Got the other side transom piece adhered in and had enough PB left to do some of the fillets along the bottom and side. Also had time to add a layer of CSM to the bottom edges of the transom and a layer of 1708 on the inside face. I wanted the first time I installed 1708 to be on a horizontal...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Productive weekend. Got all the transom wood fabricated, coated both sides, and 1 layer CSM. The "outer" two pieces are a single piece of 3/4" MDO, up from the factory 1/2" in this area. The center keyhole area of the transom is two pieces of 3/4" MOD glued with Gorilla waterproof "Ultimate"...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    JASinIL2006, Thank You, replies in order. Yes, I've seen the '87 Larson thread, very informative. Yes, Mercruiser power. Alpha 1 drive. The transom glass is 3/8" thick, so with the 2 pieces of 3/4" I should be right around 1 7/8" with the mat making up the balance so I "think" I'll be good...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Hello, First time poster, been lurking and learning for some time. Sorry for my first post being so long winded. This fall we purchased our first boat ! It's a 1990 Larson 210 DC. I bought it from the second owner who bought it from the original owners and quickly realized he was over his...
