re-doing the fibre glass

[curls]

Hi all,

i am currently renovating my dads old bayliner capri and was after a bit of adivce. basically the hull is in good order but the wood and the general interior is beyond repair. therefore leading to me ripping the whole thing out. a couple of questions though:
1. is it ok to take out the floatation foam and put new or existing back in
2. also when i come to put the floor back in, i am unsure whether to: a) set the floor, glass it, replace the blocks then glass it again or b) to set the floor and blocks at the same time and glass the whole thing as one?

would really appreciate some advice

Thanks

1st off Welcome to iBoats.
Yes it's ok to remove the foam especially if it is Wet. If it is NOT then really no need to.
Not sure what you mean by BLOCKS?? You should post some pics so we can see what you're dealin with.

Re: re-doing the fibre glass

i mean the wooden blocks that the seats are mounted on and the front sections in the bow of the boat. i would get pictures but theres nothing to see because i have ripped it all out

and yes the foam is wet, should i get new foam for when i put it back?
