    1998 Bayliner Capri floor.

    Hi all, another question here. I have one side of a stringer in between 2 bulkheads glassed with 2 layers of 1708. Do you think thats thick enough? Another layer or 2 wouldn't be that big a deal, its just the 1708 seems to drink the poly like a teenager with a keg of beer. Thanks

    Great idea, there is no bulkhead under the back end of the floor once I cut the doghouse off it flexed alot and since I plan not to have to glass the doghouse back on I was needing to find a new support.

    Mounting Kicker on 1989 Bayliner Capri

    On my 98 Bayliner Capri it has a wooden spacer- It partially unbolted now while I do my transom and stringers. Mine is an i/o and there is plywood in the sides of the transom as well as the center. I don't know where to buy the mount but a custom woodworking shop could possibly measure the angle...

    My stringers are 23" apart. I'm hoping now to be able to put a support across the stringers but won't know for sure until I set the tank back in and check.

    1998 Bayliner Capri floor.

    I thought I had another container of chopped strand, found out filleting the stringers I didn't so I'm stuck untill next Wednesday when it comes in, I got smart this time and ordered another 5 gallons of poly at the same time. At least its given me time to get the front motor mount rebuilt, I...

    When Will I learn? If fiberglass supply's are 5-7 days away why do I wait until I'm out of something before I reorder it?

    Plywood floor replacement...Questions

    If you hope to get about 5 years out of it I'm wondering what then. If you plan to do a total rebuild then why not now? Unless your planning to sell a half rotten boat to someone else

    I never gave measuring it first a thought, looking back it was an idiot move on my part. I thought that adding more wood might make it easier, but it might end up to thick. It seems like the 1708 option would give me more control over it

    1998 Bayliner Capri floor.

    I have the transom in and filleted. I measured and the total depth is 1 3/4 inches. I've read it should be 2inch to 2 1/4 inches. So should I add a sheet of 1/4 inch or just build it out with 1708? Thanks

    Stringer Cleat Board Question

    On mine I used 3/4 inch plywood about 2 1/2 inched high. I wetted then down with resin then attached with stainless screws. I figured with the screws and when the resin cured it would have enough hold for the floor. I also read that glass doesn't do well with sharp edges I cut the bottom of the...

    If anyone is reading this that hasn't done this job yet make sure you order the right amount of cabosil. I only ordered 2 1/2 quarts, I think I've read since it take 1 quart of cabosil for 1 quart of poly, any way I'm waiting for 4 gallons to come in now from US composits, I refuse to pay...

    After cutting the transom angle into the boards I think I'll have about 1/2" to play with. If not I'll check out what PC on the Bayou did

    Thanks for the feedback. I figure I'll probably go with the full length stringers. I thought seriously about notching them like GPSLures did but then remembered my carpentry skills are sorely lacking so I'm going with what sounds better for my skills

    Polyester resin ?

    I found on Amazon 5 gallons of poly from True Composites for $235. But US Composites is only around $20.00 more and pretty much everyone on here recommends it so I got the more expensive one
