    Yeah, this boat and the reason dad actually ended up with it was the previous owner left it in storage at his shop. the shrink wrap failed and it filled and sat with water in it for 2 years. Guy no longer wanted it, so he bought it built a drive and that was that. I suspect if that didn't...

    I get it. But I am still pretty comfortable saying most of the rot stemmed from the open holes under the carpet in the deck to the foam. While I am not arguing that a wet carpet is bad up here... If the deck is built right and it's taken care of, I really can't see it being any worse. The...

    So I elevated the boat more and poured the foam. Seems to have come out pretty good. Tapping and feeling the deck it was warm all around and seems free of voids. I drilled a few extra pilot holes and hot foam there too so I'd say good on that as well. All in all my math says I have about 1,600...

    Hahaha. Sadly. I really like the teak look foam but on top of all that, they don't have a blue that works with the boat. And I still have the cabin and bulk heads to figure out. If it was a bow rider I'd be installing the EVA no questions and dealing with the consequences of my actions. :LOL:

    I like the EVA but after seeing the seadek, hydroturf, etc on friends boats at the marina and what little I have on the wave runner, 5 years is about all it seems to last for before it starts to look like crap if you use it... :confused: Ultimately I don't want to be redecking every 5-10 years...

    First, love the empty bin in the last photo. ;) So as far as the deck, it's going back exactly the way it was, carpet over glass. I was thinking top coat it with gelcoat but I honestly don't see a need to do that as the carpet is the wear item. Originally I planned on glass and snap in or EVA...

    And the 1 layer of 1708 and 1 of CSM is more than strong enough?

    So now a question.... I plan on getting some glass on the deck tomorrow. My original plan was tab the edges and glass the whole thing but.... it seems I can get away with using 1 continuous piece front to back, wrap the edge to tie to the stringer and then go up the side of the hull... I...

    Did some mode work today, and got the first ~3 feet of the port side foamed. May have bought a little too much foam. Im a gallon in and have 6 left.... Between that and dodging heat... it was a long day. As a side note, I'm used to working in the heat, but the condensers of this house are near...

    I'm reading that as long as it moves toward an open area I'm good.:ROFLMAO:

    Funny you bring this up. I actually did a couple test pours and recorded them with the inspection camera... I've linked the videos. The boat is still pitched decently, about 1 inch over 2 feet, just the nature of how I was able to block it. It seems I got pretty good fill from the video though...

    Huge, huge progress today.... Just walking around now without the foam and glass on the half inch... she's rock solid.

    Time for my first bellow change, tips?

    You probably could leave the exhaust bellows completely off with no real negative effect or than it being a little loud.

    So while I have you all here... For adhering the deck to the hull and stringers, should I do peanut butter/thickened resin or PL. First I was thinking PL but I am starting to think the resin may be a better choice as I can float it better since the PL doesn't like gaps as much.... Edit: and for...

    Deck is templated!

    Like I said, there were none originally other than those two flat pieces. So I'm leaving out the front then since I'm using a longer piece of ply too

    My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

    So I'm having an internal battle here... I added these cross braces for where the deck will be seamed. (I've talked about this earlier) I'm starting to cut the deck out. On tear down there were 2 pieces of wood on each side that supported the seams of the deck. None of which were glassed in. So...

    This happened today, and in the blistering heat.

    I got a big ass quarter inch plate up front with oversized fender washers... If it pulls out again I got bigger problems lol

    Me either, but every single through bolt was like that on the boat, cleats included. Perhaps a lesser grade of stainless on the nuts was used but I've gone through and replaced every single through bolt on that boat over the last 20 years as they all rotted off. Dealing with the same thing on...
