The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
I opted for Plascore core material. The supplier said I could install it in as small of pieces as I was comfortable with. Since the balsa was 2-3/4” wide planks, I figured my plascore install might be similar. Once I saw how easily the material conformed to gentle curves I decided to go 2’x4”...
Thanks for the welcome.
I am new to fiberglass and found good info here. Learning how a boat goes together by taking it apart and scrolling through member threads. I chose Fiberglass Supply Depot for supplies. They’ve been very helpful too.
I knew it needed some fiberglass work, that’s how I found this forum. There’s a lot of info here.
All the balsa core was disintegrated- basically mud. The strakes were cedar-also soggy mush. I bought new cedar, cut the profiles to match and bedded the in poly silk putty.
The transom was gone...
Hi,
My wife and I found a project 1960 Shell Lake with what looks like the original 75 HP Johnson and Holsclaw trailer.The trailer needed some attention in order to get it home. It was last plated in 1965.
