    1998 Bayliner Capri floor.

    I'll finally be mounting the new transom tomorrow. So I was thinking, the old aft stringers were 3ft. long and tabbed into a bulkhead with the front motor mount. then another stringer about 5 ft. long tabbed into the aft and the front bulkhead. So I'm wondering if I should just use the same...

    Well hopefully I'm done grinding-its the third time I've said this- I've managed to hit the same spot on the same finger 3 times with the flap disc. Poly resin is on the way. Tomorrow I make a template and start building the transom.

    Re-carpeting 18.5 Bowrider Need advice

    What Scott and Stinnett said, I only had 2 soft spots in the floor. Further checking found a rotting transom, stringers half the length of the boat and black mold on the underside of the deck up near the bow

    1998 Bayliner Capri floor.

    Those cut resistant sleeves I bought mainly to keep dust off my forearms are the best $12.00 I ever spent. I was cutting out the bow section with a saw blade on my 4 1/2 inch grinder and was in an awful position to be cutting because of the lack of room. I must have slightly bound the blade or...

    1973 Glastron CV-16 Restoration

    There are lots of good information and advise here. I'm currently rebuilding my Bayliner. I probably wouldn't be trying too without all the info and videos in the forum

    I was looking on the Us Composites site and am wondering if the 404 tooling poly resin, or the the 435 standard layup resin would be better. Thanks

    1998 Bayliner Capri floor.

    Got about 2/3s of the floor demolished and ground down. I'm having to go slow because of disc issues in my back and I don't want to spend a couple of weeks flat on my back. I didn't like how both sides of the dash sagged when the covers were removed under them so I put a 2x4 across and ratchet...

    Considering '13 Bayliner 215

    In my opinion since Bayliner was bought by the Brunswick corp in the mid 90's the quality has gone way up

    Slowly chiseling out the transom. I found its easier if I make cuts through it so it looks kind of like a checker board then chisel out the smaller squares, and make shallower cuts as I get deeper. I don't know if it saves time but it saves my aching back. I got it down to about 1/4 inch when I...

    Looks like I had more rot in the stringers then the transom, only the bottom inch or so. Chiseling it out is back breaking and tedious. Daddy's little helper checking on my progress

    1998 Bayliner Capri floor.

    Well I haven't been able to get as much quality time with the boat as I wanted. Just cutting out the floor still. but my gosh, I'm wearing a Tyvek suit, forearm protectors, latex gloves and elastic foot coverings that are mid calf length swim goggles and a good mask yet glass still gets in. I've...

    I'm waiting for a 12 point socket set to come in so I can get the exhaust pipe off the gimble housing and remove it and the transom plate, I got rid of all my 12 points years ago-lol. But while I wait I'm slowly grinding out the part of the deck I've removed so far. I'm at the outer edge where...

    1998 Bayliner Capri floor.

    That looks similar to what I was imagining mine looking like. I am thinking of making it 2 piece so if needed I could take the original top portion off if needed when the back seats are in

    First deck replacement, I have questions

    I'm far from an expert but removing foam and filling the void with pb I would think would add a lot of weight to the boat. Also if you haven't yet drill some inspection holes into the transom and stringer to check for wet wood. Also all my foam was wet on the underside where I couldn't see it...

    1998 Bayliner Capri floor.

    Got the drive off, engine disconnected then stared at it wondering how I'm going to get the engine out without renting or building a gantry. Then my inner country bumpkin told me to put my engine hoist in my utility trailer, strap it in so it won't move. then pushed the trailer-carefully- up to...
