Re: 1982 Skeeter SS-1 Sport Fisherman Restoration...In Progress
Well, day two of our project went well. Got the cap cut free and off. What a mess we found below. What have you decided to do about foam? I am asking because we are going to have to replace all of ours. It appears the stringers are all 1/2" plywood. Is that the same as yours? Did you decide to to with composite or plywood? I think I am going to order three 12foot sheets of Marine plywood. Will try to start my own thread on our restoration if I can figure out how to post the pics I took.
Glad to hear ya got her started...after careful calculations I figured I could do the deck and transom with 2 sheets of 4X8 and 1 more sheet for stringers with some left over. so you should be able to do it all with 2 sheets of 4X12 if that's what you go with. Would be a lot cheaper to go with 4X8 though, and the center stringers which are 9' long can be lap jointed to get your length. As far as material for stringers I am still in the air with some ideas, will let ya know when I decide for sure.
Today I got nothing dine because wife worked Thanksgiving so we have our dinner tomorrow. Spent the day washing china and setting the table...getting food prepped for cooking.
and to stick with my tradition of photographing everything I do lol heres my table...before anyone messes it up
So will see ya all Sunday!
edit: shhhh, dont tell the wife but while I was setting the table, for the ONLY day each year we use the China...I was thinking how much money was sitting there, I could use on the boat....EBay anyone? LOL Dunno how much I could get for it, but I wanted a larger turkey platter after my mom gave us this and went looking for one and cheapest I could find was 1200 bucks...needless to say I dont have that platter!
