Re: 1990 Bayliner Capri 17' Full restoration
Well, I have all the wood out of the boat. There was alot of rot! Next is all the grinding to clean glass. So my next thoughts are that I can either go ahead and order all the supplies to put in new wood and fiberglass or I can flip the boat upside...
Re: 1990 Bayliner Capri 17' Full restoration
Here are a few more photos of the deck and stringer removal. I only have an hour or two every now and then to work on it, and man it takes a long time to get all this removed carefully.
I have tried searching the internet and this forum for a while, and I cannot find out how many amps the alternator in my motor generates. I have a 1990 force motor 50hp Model: 507X90D. I am re-building my 1990 Bayliner Capri and am in the process of designing my rebuild. I need to know the...

Re: 1990 Bayliner Capri 17' Full restoration
Thanks for the link! Right now I have more ideas than actions. If I do go with the back seat idea, I will need to relocate the gas tank. I used 2 removable tanks located in front of the transom and they were covered by a canvas curtain. I was...
Well. I have been reading how-to's on this site for the past two weeks and today I started the breakdown of my boat. As I thought, not only was the deck rotted out, the bulk heads and stringers are bad, which means the transom has a 99% chance of being rotted as well. This will be a long, slow...
