    Thanks, I was dumbfounded when I saw how they did it.

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Floors all cut and fit. Resin and CSM on bottoms next. Adding a few supports on bottom also, plus cutting holes for foam. You can also see the box I made as referenced earlier for the fuel fill hose and vent tube to go through the deck. I marked one picture up so you can see what's going on...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    That it is, that it is. My orange car I ran in X275, ran 4.68 @ 158 in the 1/8 and 7.20's @ 193 in the 1/4 all at 3,350 lbs due to race rules. All with a little home built 5.0 ltr mod motor ;)

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Thanks, yeah I've pretty much ruled out boxing in the "shelfs". I'm thinking of getting the floors in so I can get accurate measurements and just bite the bullet and remove the "shelf" and foam so I can tab the floor into the hull and then replace the shelf. It's only time and money right ???...

    Oh Boy, we would have to start a new thread on probably a different forum to go through all the cars I've built, LOL.

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    I added a couple braces where the stringers tie into the bulkhead as there was one on the factory design, also I can screw the cross brace into it without screwing into the bulkhead. I adhered them with PB last night and tonight went back over them with 2 layers of 1708. I cut the two rear floor...

    '90 Maxum 2100SR - restoration & conversion

    I like this. Similar to laying formica counter tops.

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    I also built this 5"x6" box and installed it where the fuel-fill hose goes through the deck. Larson only cut a hole in the deck and the 5x6 cut out of the stringer. Any water that got splashed in there or from the bow storage boxes would run into the foam below. Of course the foam in this area...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Not many updates this week as I kept forgetting to take pics. It's almost ready for floors now . Cleats installed and cross bars. Finished a bunch of tabbing here and there, finished the last of the 1708 on the engine mounts. A couple more braces to install and some CSM and I'm ready to start...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    I got the stringers tabbed. Starting to make the cleats and the cross braces next. I found the boat has a small amount of twist in it. I'm assuming this is from the factory, but maybe it is from the old rotten structure ? The rear portion / bulkhead / engine mount area is very square and level...

    1987 Power Play XLT-185 - floors, stringers, and upholstery

    Quick question, how deep is your ski locker ? Mine came from the factory with no sub-floor, just carpeted bottom direct to hull. I'm thinking adding a floor, but worried it will be too shallow.

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Stringers in ! Whew, a lot of work. I made some quick aluminum spacers on our CNC plasma table today just because I do better with metal than wood (lol). I underestimated the time to bed in 2, 8' stringers and mixed the first batch of PB too hot and ended up losing over half the mix...grrrrr...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Pics as promised. It's been vacuumed but still needs to be washed out. The new braces I put in need to be tabbed. You can see the stress areas I mentioned where the hull sets on the wheels of the trailer (the white spots), going to add some reinforcing 1708 in these spots. Also added the...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    I was being lazy and stupid when I did the first batch of grinding and didn't tent the boat or protect the garage. Ugh, deep cleaning is an understatement. After that first time, I now tent the boat and hook up 2-6hp shop vacuums to a plate I made to go over the keyhole. Being that I switched...

    Restoring a 1990 Larson

    Almost 4 hours straight of grinding yesterday :mad:. Got the last of the stringers and center bulkhead out and the hull completely ground and ready for the new stringers. I also added two additional bulkhead / supports one on each side of the completed engine mount area. The hull adjacent to the...

    1987 Power Play XLT-185 - floors, stringers, and upholstery

    How did you attach the cleats ? Hard to tell from the pics, but looks like some screws ? How are you planning to attach the floors, screws into the cleats ? I'm unsure how I am going to attach mine. Thought about just using PB, but I'm thinking some mechanical attachment too. Definitely don't...
