    1986 21' Bayliner restoration. Yes or no

    I'm FAR from being the foremost expert. Just an Old Dumb Okie that tries to help when I can. Would I go for it??? Here's how I'd advise you. You evaluate the boat as far as how it meets you and your families needs and wants. Then Sit down with the Admiral and explain to her the situation. 250...

    My Lo Decker Deck Boat fixer upper

    OK, I kinda thought that's what it was. Sande Plywood is INTERIOR plywood so it's not really a good brand to use for your boat. You need AC Ext. Grade plywood. It's made using 100% waterproof glue. It won't LOOK as nice but will work better for MarineUse.

    18'x60" John Boat Build Idea

    Here's 2 links to some free plans that could easily be modified to meet your needs... a Butt joint of 1/4" plywood with a 6" wide glued inside cleat will give more than ample strength to the bottom hull piece. Once Resin and Fabric are applied it will be more than strong enuf.

    Eagle Seebold restoration

    Just and FYI, You don't have to use MG plywood. In Fact most people DON'T. AC Fir Plywood will work just fine IF you seal it well. Here's what I use when I do upholstery work on boats. My seat bases last for decades with NO ROT. LOT's cheaper than MG!!!

    Help! Fiberglass fix along hull-deck joint of 16' Rebel sailboat

    Smoothness is NOT an issue. It's just to keep the resin from eating the foam. You WON'T be worrying about the underside anyway. You don't have access to the back side of the hull do you?? No I'm not suggesting removing anything. I meant place the deck on the hull meaning make sure it's...
