Tartuffe really knows his stuff too. These guys have great advice from experience on these hulls.

There are a few great rebuilds on here, with steplift- cc conversions. Im actually doing the same to a 1975 steplift, although their might be too much delamination in the hull I have. Either way I will be restoring a V20, I just love the hull. Kracker, Dan, and quite a few folks have great...

Picture looks nice, sounds like a repower http://delaware.craigslist.org/boa/4585106762.html

So Im really considering Coosa board now. I like the idea of zero water penetration & after a nice talk with the a saleperson at coosa Ive learned a few things You can actually use less glass, full encapsulation isnt needed for stringers. The bottom of the deck wont need to be glassed unless...

Off a 1975 Steplift, Im restoring to a Center console. More Interested in trading for supplies for my build. But cash offer works

Full windshield set, with throwover glass

Thanks for the advice Think I'm going to research about composite and lay up schedules for the transom and stringers. And obviously save up more if I decide to go that route. Decision really seems to be how much glass do I want to lay

I do Look at my build.. In the repair forum. Make offer or will trade for building supplies ply resin glass etc.

No problem Starzofchaos, had the same questions about it myself!

great job!!

Ive seen the same on mine, It appears that the roving is used fro the factory stringers, with tons of air pockets too, suprised at the things Ive seen in this hull that is sloppy craftsmanship, Not sure if its from factory or the PO. The PO rasied the floor by screwing 2" x 10" to the inside...

Tartuffe? Love your build, awesome work. Im sure ill say it a million times and such a great reference. Question, why did you fill the strakes with thickened epoxy and glass over? Just wondering what that does? easier for stringer replacment?

Im sure separating the inner and outter skin wont be too bad, I was going to leave it in place but i want to do it right, coming out this week.

Tartuffe, The pic shows where the inner skin meets the outter hull at the gunwale, next to the transom. It appears the 1975 hull had three piece construction. Outter hull, inner skin which matches the outter hull shape and included the original floor, and the gunwale cap. It looks like weave...

It's in the blood, Picture of my great grandfathers ship building tools. My dad donated them to our local maritime museum. Pics of the gelcoat, where I have sanded and alot more to go Next couple pics are for fairing related questions. How thick can fairing be on its own? At what...

The gelcoat is also completely shot. . I've started exterior sanding and hit the glass in a few spots.. grinding down all cracks. Does the gelcoat all need to come off? 2hrs sanding didn't get a lot done.. I'll post some pics in the am

Tartuffe For composite board dose it have to be infused vacuum bagged? Or whatever the proper terminology is? Doing research and it looks like awesome stuff. Did you start your rebuild onthe exterior of the hull? How did you flip it? Still have your support? Sorry for so many questions but I...

Thanks Awesome build by the way. So you used compsite board?

Tartuffe That raised another question. If I decided on the full transom/ bracket. . How thick should the transom be? I'll be replacing the stringers to and plan on tabbing in knees which will rise from stringers to the top of the transom. I'm either glassing in insulation for a fish box or...
