    1971 Silverline Comoro 16.5

    3/4 would be fine for stringers, it just gives you a narrow area to hit with the screws. Hard enough to hit a 2x that's really only 1 1/2". The foam you have is someone saying "screw it, good enough". Usually, the floor goes in, then a few holes are cut along each cavity and expansion foam...

    1971 Silverline Comoro 16.5

    I would glass the whole stringer and floor back in. You have to fill all those cavities with floatation foam once the floor is back in, so the stringers will be covered all the way up the sides. The floor is also structural, and should be glassed all around the hull like it was. I also think...

    1971 Silverline Comoro 16.5

    Sorry I haven't chipped in yet. The original thread was created before my time here, so I didn't get a notification until it was moved. Now, to give my opinion on some of your questions in no particular order. You can stand on the inside of the hull, shouldn't be a problem unless the glass is...

    2006 Hurricane Fundeck fencing paint fencing color

    Boat manufacturers don't keep or disperse information like car manufacturers. There are little to no manuals, schematics, paint codes, or parts lists. For that paint, your best bet would be to take it to an auto body supplier and ask them to use a color matching camera. It will most likely need...

    1995 Crownline 202BR Restore

    Are you sure those squares aren't rotten or soft? Those washers are a pretty good indicator because the wood would have to be soft to pull them in like that.

    Bimini Top Hold Down Bracket is loose, need fix

    It could also be studs in T nuts in the back of the cushion. I very much agree. Cutting a 3 inch access hole behind the cushion won't do anything. Ouch, luckily I've never been claustrophobic.

    Bimini Top Hold Down Bracket is loose, need fix

    Sometimes being a short guy helps, og course then I have a hard time reaching stuff once I get squirrled into a tight spot. Haven't gotten stuck yet though!

    Bimini Top Hold Down Bracket is loose, need fix

    I run into stuff like that all the time. Boats aren't made with repairs in mind. All of that hardware was installed while the cap was lifted up and easy to get to. You might just have to have a second person hold the screw whilr you cram yourself in there to get to the nuts.

    How much deflection is normal in Fiberglass Deck

    Hey, I took it in stride, no offence here. I know my shortcomings, and calling witchcraft was a joke based on them.

    Medium Float Pod Install Price

    Does it include repainting? Also, another member recently had some trouble with this same situation. Give this thread a look, and ask your welder how he will avoid this. https://www.iboats.com/threads/aluminum-transom-has-had-heat-distortion.781312/

    The cobalt left Friday. Next are a couple of semi fenders and rear bumper (?). Just sand and paint, fixing some minor stuff. These are right out of the molds.

    That makes my brain hurt just looking at it. I barely passed high school math.

    EVA Form

    It can bend a bit, but isn't as flexible as carpet. I wouldn't try to wrap a lid with it. I would expect it to start peeling away from those corners pretty quick.

    How much deflection is normal in Fiberglass Deck

    I was hoping it would be a removable panel, but in that picture it looks like solid floor. What about just cutting it out and putting another deck plate there?
