    93 Mariah engine mount

    For anyone bored or thought I gave up...It's still going on...Probably not text book, but since they didn't use 1708 in this boat I'm pretty sure it's gonna fly...Easily the biggest PITA was tapered lower piece for the engine mount...I would have liked to use one big piece, but I don't have a...

    93 Mariah engine mount

    Understood.. On the rear bulkhead behind the gas tank...I cut out my new one today...Does this get connected directly to the hull via resin or is it spaced like the stringer...It looks like it was fixed directly, but delamintaed. Under the gas tank I'm getting 1/4 in balsa core and I'm gonna...

    The guy with jacked up 95 Sea Ray used it on his repair...I followed what Scott said on here and watched his repair on here...Seems to be popular for bedding the stringers...I have always used epoxy on my Sea Doo boat so my experience with resin is limited...Plus it's like 60 here today in...

    Finally made a little progress I think..Probably not textbook, but it should work...I know my gap seems large from the stringer to the hull, but there is a 26 degree angle there so it is much closer on the inside...I ended up using the PL just because I didn't have to mix anything.. Love the...

    Scott, I'm not being disrespectful and not listening to your advice in the least...I know exactly who that guy is and have watched his Youtube videos that pertain too me numerous times... ? on the floors...If you notice I just cut back the floors some to get some glass on the backside of the...

    I appreciate the help, but I'm a total newbie at best with stringers and the concepts here..The worst part is all the different ways of doing it and the fact I don't understand all the terms...That is on me...Either way right or wrong a stringer section is going in this weekend..I'm gonna try to...

    93 Mariah engine mount

    Ok, I think I understand now...I think I'm gonna use PL for my glue and the pink insulation stuff 1/4" to keep it off the hull...Can I use like the total boat repair putty to create my filet? Thank you again for your patience.....There is a lot chemicals and rules...No poly over epoxy, but epoxy...

    I"m honestly totally confused at this point..It's not you, it's me for sure..What am I spacing the stringer off the hull with, am I just cutting it flat, and what am I'm using for a glue? Can I use that Loctit PL stuff..I can make resin putty if needed...Guys, I apologize..I'm not a dumbass and...

    Ok, let me make sure I understand...The bevel cut isn't happening...So the wood doesn't get glued to the floor directly ? What do I space the stringer off the hull with? thank you

    Ok, I got some pics with #s for reference #1..RH stringer template with 26 degree bevel cut..The notch in transom was a touch of rot from stringer that I cut out..transom is very solid..I'll fill this in #2.. Factory LH stringer...notice no bevel cut and stringer isn't touching hull..I feel like...

    93 Mariah engine mount

    I'm just kinda confused on how this boat was built...It doesn't look like other boats on I see online...The main stringer is literally just one 3/4 " plywood with two 1 inch strips at the top of 3/4.. It has several triangle pieces running east and west off the main stringer...It looks like they...

    I cut my angle cut right and I'm just cutting on some boards at this point...I did a sample joint last night since I have never worked with poly resin...? I'm watching some youtube videos on stringers and the guy is saying the stringer shouldn't touch the hull... You can literally see where one...

    I really appreciate you guys pointing me in the right direction if I hadn't said it..I just know enough to get myself in trouble... Got my BCX board as recommended...? The bottom of the stringer board is flat...My hull angle is 26 degrees...Do I need to try and cut that to 26 degrees or can I...

    I get what you are saying for sure...Because I use a boat about 20-25 times a year and it sits under a cover for 5 months a year...I have like 10-15K to spend on a boat...A boat isn't a great investment for sure...The 2015 and up boats are out of what I want to spend on a luxury item like...

    Thx...I have both..I was gonna use the epoxy to get stuff in place and then use the poly resin to laminate stuff and use PVA to cure it...Is that OK?

    Guys, as far as resin and stuff. I'm generally an epoxy guy..I love the West systems stuff because of the pumps as it is idiot proof...Total boat has some stuff that is cheaper with good reviews...Can I use epoxy with some amazon CSM? I thought epoxy didn't work with some CSM?? I have some woven...
