    1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration

    Re: 1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration Well, cut short the glassing in stringers and bulkheads as I needed to rivet the top cap in place. Been putting that off but had help from my father this morning and a great help it was, could not have finished without him and his ideas. Looks great...

    1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration

    Re: 1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration Well after some experimentation and trial and error, I have begun making progress again. The past few weeks have been hectic and full of honey do's, family visits, and wife time;-) Got a little done here and there, and this transom has been a real pain...

    1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration

    Re: 1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration Wow, thanks all for the input and following along! I will try to keep it interesting. GT and Wood, you are both correct on the transom, I have some pictures from earlier in the project when doing my previous thread. I will include them here, as well as a...

    1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration

    Re: 1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration Well the transom is out! Most of the grinding done, I will be putting this baby back together soon. Wow, what a trip this has been. Next one will be easier:D There is very little rot in the pieces from the transom. I wonder if maybe it has been...

    1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration

    Re: 1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration A combination of straps, hot water, and lumber got her into shape, mostly. Going to let it sit for a bit and see if it relaxes. Meanwhile, I will finish out my grinding, and replace the transom while the weather is so cool, (those bunny suits are...

    1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration

    Re: 1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration Well here is the progress with building a cradle. Feeling doubtful about the ability to pull this hull back into shape, but I will continue to work at it. As can be seen, even with a 2x4 pulling down on the prow, the boat still bows upward. The cradle...

    1984 Bayliner Capri 1600 Restoration

    Hey all, getting back to this job I started early part of last summer but gave up after the heat got too bad here in Arizona. I have some complications to overcome and I am looking for some advice on what is most crucial and any tips or tricks. The issues are thus, 1. Once the floor came...

    bayliner bowrider rebuild

    Re: bayliner bowrider rebuild On the stress cracks, the random patterns are often stress if I remember right, and the star patterns are where a hit or specific load was applied. That set near the port, lower corner of the cutout looks almost like something closer to a star pattern, might want...

    1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration

    Re: 1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration Taking a break from sanding for a bit until this weather is under control. Waiting for cooler weather. Unfortunately I had the time today but this is the temps we are dealing with. Crazy right!? I find it funny to see the guys that have to take a break for...

    1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration

    Re: 1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration Well, life is getting pretty busy these days so I have less time to work on the grinding, the heat has been taking its toll, even earlier in the morning. So I decided I needed a way to provide some air conditioning. The tent serves the purpose of keeping in...

    1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration

    Re: 1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration Nothing new really, just figured I would throw in a few pics. As to the grinding, all I have left is the layup material used to set the outer stringers although the starboard one is almost complete, then there is a smaller set of inner stringers that need to...

    1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration

    Re: 1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration Well, here is the tent with misters. There is too much water coming off the misters and gets the boat wet inside. After I closed in this wall, I attached a cheap fan with a house filter to blow air out of the tent and catch dust. Funny enough, I just came...

    1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration

    Re: 1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration Not getting much done lately, had a few honey do's to finish and then decided it is getting too hot here in Arizona with summer coming on to keep working without something to help. Solution I came up with to keep it cheap is a pvc frame to cover with plastic...

    Re: 1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration Hello to those that had been following me, have been busy with home projects and a new job so have only had a little time for sanding on certain days. Thought I would load some pictures of progress and some lessons learned that hopefully will help others...

    1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration

    Re: 1984 Bayliner 15' Restoration Project when I started this morning at 8. Done by 10:30. Now the floor is all out along with the stringers. Lots of rot in all of it, and waterlogged foam even though this boat has not seen the water in over 5 years (granted not covered either, but hey...
