1963 Boston wailer 13 footer

[mickyryan]

i measured it it its just at a 16th rofl the entire floor was spider cracked , shattered but glass under was fine i sanded and got rid of the gelcote so i could adhere to good material but i burned through in several areas so im def going to add a subfloor and finish off with fresh glass to keep it from leaking, so far today i poured transom and layed floor and foamed it , rains coming so i flipped it over till middle of next week .

Micky, maybe simply a few layers of 1708. it lasted 60 years with that thin layer.

So hopefully not over the existing gelcoat right?

eheh, , yeah Scott I am not knocking the Construction at all , that's basically the only thing folks have always said about boston wailers is gel coat issues and soggy foam, appears my foams good so only got the Gelcoat issue , omg the layers of paint i had to go through to get to the original blue, lol when i flipped it over for rain , i sadly counted 12 layers on bottom that i will be removing , lol the foam wasn't acting right yesterday so i wound up using all i had to get it done... i tried heating the cavity , guessing i should have heated the bottles before mixing .no matter floor is flat now no more wierd valley
