    Stuck Transom Wood

    Hammer and chisel if you want to go the cheap route Otherwise, if you can spare the cost, Get a chainsaw attachment for your angle grinder. I believe they are called carving discs. I never used them personally but have seen a few threads from people who have. Can't personally vouch for how well...

    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Dropbox seems to be working for me, but I am open to simpler options.

    They aren't wrong in their statements.....but I am right there with you! For me, it isn't about the value....It's about so much more....The experience....The knowlwge gained....the fact that I will know exactly what I have as well as every single inch of my boat.....Some reason that don't even...

    Hello everyone!!! Got back out here today and worked on the new bones. Used old 2x4s to hold them steady and fileted them in......tabbed one side in with 2 layers of 1708 over the filets. Was able to remove the 2x4 braces and was even able to test them with a spare piece of marine plants! Gotta...

    Sorry to hear that. Saddle up! You're in for a ride is an understatement! One full cut and gut coming up! Enjoy the experience and learn a lot from it! You really going to pay someone to do the work? You're going to pay more than what the boat is worth...but you do you. I chose to do all the...

    First boat! 1989 Quantum 1800xb Force 125

    Exactly this is what I was referencing to. If the deck is good, I personally would access the ski locker or anywhere else where you can get at the stringers and drill into them to check the wood there as well.....And with that screw that you said is going through the hull, I definitely would...

    Good idea! What about the wood on the boat? Was it tested?

    Correct me if I am wrong, but when I tested this last night, the link brought me right to the images in the folder. Does it not do this?

    First boat! 1989 Quantum 1800xb Force 125

    I started with a Force......Got rid of it for parts. You will find mixed emotions regarding this brand. I hear that they weren't even a great motor when brand new, so I am going with something else altogether.....but the motor aside........How is your deck, stringers and transom? What condition...

    Hey bud! Try downloading dropbox! I just started yesterday. Seems to be an excellent secondary tool that allows us to still be able to show off our pics as we work! You can create a file for your boat project and you can even create files within those files if you want to break the pics up unto...

    Got both stringers cleaned up and ground down......Gotta say they do look a little better with all the excess crap taken off and their dual ends evened up. They even look pretty darned even when placed side by side..... but the tops are not as straight as I would like them to be. In the grand...
