    Such a Thing As Making the Hull Too Rigid?

    No, you're good... You can bed stringers with peanut butter, PL, just about anything... The goal is really to have the stringers sit slightly above the hull and not directly on the hull... The real strength of the stringers comes with the glass that goes over them.

    Welp, shes mobile again! which is a great feeling because it means I'm almost done, but it also means I get a lot of my driveway back lol. Super happy with it so far... The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is how soft the paint is. When you paint over galvanized, you HAVE to use water based...

    This has been a much longer project than expected, but its starting to look like a trailer again... just about ready to put the boat back on, then I'll finish up the fenders and new lights...

    Welp... I decided to paint my driveway red and looks like I got some over spray on the trailer lol... I thought the airless sprayers were supposed to reduce overspending! Ha Anyways, first coat is on but between the rain, heat, and upcoming vacation, it looks like she's staying on the hard...

    Spreken of the 4th... we can just use some mortars and bottle rockets to get her off the trailer!

    Basically at the mercy of the weather here lately... can't apply the paint unless humidity is below 80 and temp below 95... pretty much struggling with that.. tonight I put on a stripe coat on all the sharp edges, welds, and holes... it was not entirely necessary to do a stripe coat but it was...

    I hear you... I don't know why I waited to long to start working on my trailer, but now I'm ready to paint, but its 95 and humid like everyday so I can't paint until the weather cooperates with the application requirements.

    Didn't snap any pictures cuz it looks basically the same lol, but today I degreased the whole trailer with full strength purple power... I think it also stripped some of the tar out of my asphalt driveway lol... After it dried, I then sprayed the whole thing down with phosphoric acid the etch...

    Got everything removed this evening that is going to get removed before painting... I'm not messing with the axles/leafsprings/etc... I also am going to leave the coupler on because I don't feel like rebleeding the brakes when I'm done lol. Hoping to get my butt moving here in the next day or...

    96 Bayliner 2050 - The Dirty Rotten Baystard

    I don't know why it didn't dawn on me at first, but there is a lot of crap that needs to be removed from a trailer to paint it... lol I guess I could have half-arsed it and just left everything and painted over and around stuff but thats a recipe for disaster and a short lived paint job. Between...

Finally got em all but one... After that, I need to remove the winch support/bow roller assembly and a few other...

    Your okay... any of the big ones, pop an hole and fill with resin, but any of the small ones are okay... Everyone here has such a high standard of what is acceptable for a hand layup (which is a good thing, we want to strive for perfection), but you have to realize that we are doing the same...

    She floats! at least in the driveway that is... This was a bit of a snap a pencil with your butt cheeks pucker kinda thing... But the dirty rotten baystard is officially off the trailer and hovering in the driveway. Having the engine hoist made it much easier than all the other videos I've...

    What does "looks good" mean? How did you test the transom and stringers for rot? The only way to do that is to drill test holes and test the wood (in your case, most likely mush) that comes out... Theres no such thing as an 85 bayliner that isn't rotten unless its already been completely...

    I assume I'd need to invest in a dryer and oil separator too... I'll have to look into that... been thinking about trying to paint a car too so might be a good idea...
