Re: 1981 Bayliner Victoria 2750 - Restore or Bust
I'll sum it all up when I'm done, but it's hard to predict what it'll take at this point. I do know that it'll be roughly one sheet of plywood for the sole, in two pieces. The first one from the template above is 48" long by 42" wide at the widest, and 36" at the narrowest. The piece forward of that will start at 36 wide and taper to a point where it lays into the bow.
When I'm all done I'll also put a copy of the Visio file that I'm doing the drawing in which can be blown up to whatever size you desire. There's a free Visio viewer on the web if you don't have access to a legit copy of the app.
Resin-wise, it looks like we'll have enough to cap the stringers and seal the bottom of the sole. Maybe enough for the top, and perhaps enough to tab the sole into place. After that, it'll be yet another 5 gallon order. That'll be #4 if I recall. So far we've used 24 yards of 17 oz biax, and bought another 15, and 25 yards of 6 oz cloth. I've used 5 20 oz West milled fiber containers, a 2 gallon container of chopped fibers from Jamestown, and probably 3 gallons of wood flour. I've been saving all of our sawdust from the table saw, and then using an old food processor to mill it into rough flour, suitable for bedding and fillets where they won't be part of a finished visible surface.
We'll keep glassing as long as the weather holds out, or we run out of resin, whichever comes first. Then it's switching gears to fabbing templates for cabinetry and the banquette, or stripping paint from the sterndrive and transom shield in prep for fairing and paint. Good fall & winter activities.
