    Thanks...

    Re: Thanks... Ditto ^^^ What have you done to confirm that the Stringers and Transom are Good to Go? Have you taken core samples like most of the threads recommend doing? If not you cannot be 100% certain that your boat is sound. As 74B says, Looks and Sounds usually are deceiving. Core Samples...

    My first boat

    Re: My first boat I would highly recommend you do a thorough inspection of the transom. Best way is to drill core samples down low from the inside and see what the shavings tell you. Do NOT drill all the way thru the transom. You only need to drill about an inch deep. If you get dark damp...

    aluminum cleaner?

    Re: aluminum cleaner? Welcome to iBoats! I'd recommend scuffing the paint with a light sanding with 80 grit. Any/all bare aluminum must be primed with Self Etching primer. I like Moellers. After that all areas being painted should be primed with a good bare metal primer. Rustoleum makes a good...

    Re: fiberglassing douglas fir marine ply on garvey project? Welcome to iBoats! At the very least you should fillet all seams with thickened resin and then use fiberglass tape to seal them. I assume you are using Epoxy resin. I hope so. I would use a 7.5 oz biaxial cloth tape for the seams. I...

    1989 Charger 170V restore

    Re: 1989 Charger 170V restore I hope you ordered some 1.5 oz CSM!!! You'll need to lay a layer of it before the 1708. 25 yds should be about right. I think you're about 10yds to LONG on the 1708 unless you plan on doing the deck with it. That's 75 lineal ft x 50" wide. That's a lot of material...

    Re: Cobalt 1978 19BR floor repair help needed Welcome to the iBoats Dry Dock! You state that the rest of your stringers are ok. I'm curious what you base that on? It's quite unusual for just one side of the boat to rot and not the other. Looks can be deceptive. I'd highly recommend that you...
