Hello everyone, I have been reading over alot of the restoration posts and i am extremely lucky to find this forum. Well lets start this out with i recently got given a 1967 wellcraft 17ft fiberglass boat. yep thats right free. hahahaha well nothing is free in this world ive found out.
I took this boat home it was in very bad shape. it had been sitting in the backyard uncovered for seven years. Needless to say i ripped the floor out and found the stringers were shot. took all five stringers out and now im trying to figure out how much fiberglass resin and matting i will need to do all five stringers and the floor would anyone be able to clue me in on this?
i have several pictures of my progress on my phone i am going to try and upload.
This is my first boat and boat project. I am a machinist by profession and have rebuilt from frame off a 1971 international 1310 dumptruck and a 1974 chevy 1 ton pickup just nevr a boat and thought how hard can it be. hahahaha
Any help with a formula to figure out the resin and mat quantity i would very much appreciate. thank you
