    1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration

    Re: 1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration Lol, yes the 'gourmet' fine line tape is one of my favorite tools! :D I wasn't able to get a lot of good measurements from the previous stringers since they had turned to dust. I used some old drafting equipment from college regularly used in my...

    Re: 1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration A big thanks to the doc and Rick for getting me straight on the crack repair! I forgot to post the pics of how I made the transom plates. The old transom came out on pieces so there was no way I was going to get a rough stencil. Even the cap was...

    1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration

    Re: 1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration Trying to figure out how I should approach this. Grind the whole area around the OD down? Or just around the cracked areas?

    Re: 1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration Drive out. Transom 50%. I got distracted by a special guest donning cigars and scotch. What's a man to do? My brother's old buddy who built boats for a living came over to give me a hand getting some pin stripes goin on a customers boat. After that...

    Pin stripes and graphics durability under the waterline

    I have 3 boats that are almost ready to get new stripes/pin stripes. Has anyone had good luck with a particular brand or material, especially below the waterline? Typically I use a high UV resistant vinyl, but most of those graphics were above the water line. I had a set of stripes that sat...

    1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration

    Re: 1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration With dust and without dust. Since there really isn't anything left in the boat, I let the power washer help me out a bit. I ground down a lot of the old stringer glass, but I've got a little more to go. I filled up a 40 gallon bag on the dust...

    The good times

    Re: The good times Thanks fellas, DJ fellow michigander! Tx, I'd sure like to see your whaler- I am a huge fan! I laugh everytime I look at this poor raft. The DNR guys around here love it. I let them borrow it every now and then so they can flyfish the Thornapple river.

    1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration

    Re: 1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration Several years ago I built a 7 second drag car and didn't align the motor mounts properly. It cost me almost $1200 to redo because I had to replace an entire rail and get it re-certified. We all learn from mistakes but that one hurt! So I came up...

    1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration

    Re: 1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration While I waited for the next thunderstorms to go through, I gave the exterior some TLC with the pin stripe remover. The powerplant after dyno runs and before it gets a refreshing.

    The good times

    I didn't want to hi-jack daselbee's thread about the loss of nstalgic icon. In a nutshell he reminded us of the things in our live's that were like a safe for memories of all sorts. I had an old sevylor raft that my dad got for us when we were very young. My brothers and I used to stuff it in a...

    1988 Wellcraft 210 Classic XL Restoration

    I went head first on this one. '88 Wellcraft 210 with a 5.7L Mercruiser. Alpha drive. The PO couldn't afford to properly shelter it, and it was very obvious by just walking around in the boat. They had layered over the rotting floor and re-carpeted it. I had to gut the entire boat. Even the...
