Hey everybody! I have a 1987 Starcraft Medalist 1901 that needs serious deck, stringer, bulkhead and wing repair. I'm on a semi tight budget and only need the boat to last 3-5 years. I'm new to all this, so excuse me if I don't know all the lingo. I was searching all the posts that I could but couldn't find what I wanted to know. Which is:
1. What material should I use to build new stringers, bulkheads and wings?
( I was thinking of marine plywood or hi grade exterior plywood and epoxying everything )
2. What should the thickness be for everything above?
3. How should everything be fastened to each other?
( Should I use 3m 5200 for it all, then epoxy and fiberglass everything together? )
If I asked something that people asked already, sorry. But, any info would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I'll have hundreds of other questions in the future, so first things first. It sounds like there are a lot of smart people on this forum and this is the place to ask.
