They wanted $11 to ship just the pumps from US Composites.

No kidding J.

I did want to point out that the $11 was to ship just the pumps in a follow up order. If I added them to the original order it wold have probably cost me very little extra. I'll definitely be adding the pumps if I have anything else to order. The gal on the phone at US-C was really friendly but there was really nothing she could do. My original order had already shipped. Live and learn.

Yah, if memory serves I believe they were only like 9 bux. Definately made my life easier working with the epoxy.

Cheers man!:)

Looking good HN!

As for the pedestal bracing, install additional aluminum framing. The extra plywood won't do much and will hinder you more than help you. You'll have to get the pieces in exactly the right spot to miss the framing and you'll have to find longer stainless bolts to anchor your base with.

I got my vinyl yesterday. Defender.com was the source and they shipped it the same day I ordered it.

The Nautolex adhesive says to apply to both the wood surface and back of vinyl. Is that necessary?

Jig, did you happen to post any pics of the "proper" way to cut and wrap the corners? I looked through a few of your threads and your wrapping looks great. Thanks.

I didn't (but don't come after me if you have issues :p)

I applied the 88 adhesive to both surfaces 1. to be for sure, for sure 2. because it was still in the 90's here and the glue was drying almost as fast as I was brushing it on.

Speaking of the adhesive, you'll need a paint mixer for a drill like this one if your adhesive is anything like mine was.

Also be sure to get the rollers in my above post, I rerolled my pieces every day for 3 or for days checking for air bubbles and found a few... but was able to push them to a corner and push them out.

For wrapping odd shaped pieces, I cut the wrap into tabs like this.

A 2" tab will get you around most radii and you can adjust the size of them bigger or small according to the radius.

I was able to get away with 4" on this one.

Inside corners are a 45* angle from your inside corner to the corner of your wrap set-in like in the pic above.

Outside corners are a simple square notch aligning with the outside edges of your piece.

Speaking of wrapping, this piece was a little PITA. It's my console base.

I used the contact cement to wrap it with, because it was small, cut up, and I needed the instant bond.

If you wrap your edges with the 88 adhesive, you will need to staple it as you go.

If you wrap your edges with contact cement, be aware that contact cement dissolves/cuts the 88 adhesive and you need to stay away from it a little. The Nautolex vinyl will require 2 coats of contact cement because of it's porosity, and you can come back and staple it later.

Thanks for the detailed post. I was visualizing most of the cuts but seeing the pics helps a lot. Seeing your console now I am going to consider using the Nautolex to wrap the base of mine. Maybe make the console tops out of wood and fiberglass.

We don't have to worry about the 90 degree temps here. We've had some beautiful sunrises and sunsets this year but temps are starting to drop into the low 40s. I think I am going to have to move from the garage to the shop under my garage real soon!

Your restore seems to becoming along nicely. I have got a project similar to yours with the exception that mine is a 1984 Tyee 4.9 w/ 75hp merc. Purchased from the original owner. It was a great purchase it just needs a little TLC.
New floor, carpet to match, etc. I will continue to follow your progress, i am sure it will provide much information.
I am going to wait until mid March before I dive into her(to cool up here in Elk River/Nowthen).
By then the 50's will feel warm again.

Re: 1990 Lund Tyee 1650 Interior Overhaul

Thanks for stopping by. I have a buddy that has a mid-80s Tyee 5.5. His has a fiberglass hull with an aluminum-lined gunnel and interior sides. Is your boat fiberglass? Post some pics when you get time. It's starting to get cooler here as well in SW MN. My progress has been slowed due to lower temps and lost weekends on other projects. I'm hoping to block off a portion of my garage to keep the temps high enough to get some gluing done on the interior carpet but I am getting a bit of pressure from the misses to clear the 3rd stall and get the Suburban off the driveway before the snow flies :facepalm:.

How do you tell if foam is closed cell foam? It feels like those foam noodles. If someone wanted all this I could get it for them. It's not a great picture. It came packaged around all our new computer servers.

Pretty sure that's closed cell polyethylene which is the same as noodles.

Nice project, I like the Lund hulls very much:)

That foam might be closed-cell, maybe take some and sink it in some water for a while and see if it absorbs any?

I'd opt for 5/8" for the deck, just so it doesn't have any flex. To keep weight down 1/2" would be a decent second choice I guess.

I am wondering if you are happy with the results from the epoxy resin from US Comp.
I am looking to start sealing my floor and want to see if you would recommend their product.

They are a very popular supplier on this forum. Their products and service are top notch.

I agree. I was pleased with the product. Having never used epoxy resin I found it easy to work with. It actually covered more than I had anticipated. I mixed it up into small cups - about enough to cover one side of one panel at a time. I ended up doing two coats. Don't forget to order the pumps!

I am also curious if you were happy with the results of using the AraucoPly plywood.
The reason i ask is, the plywood that i just demo'd out of my 84 tyee was C-C Plugged Exterior grade plywood.
I am considering using the AraucoPly with epoxy resin applied or just the Marine grade plywood with no epoxy applied.
I would have thought that Lund would have used an higher grade plywood when the boat was orignally built. It would be nice to know what they are using in the current Lund boats.

Any info helps.

I did my deck with regular exterior grade from Home Depot. Stuff was pretty junky. Voids everywhere. Used Arauco from Lowes for my transom. Super nice. Not one void that I saw and of course nicer outer surfaces.

Re: 1990 Lund Tyee 1650 Interior Overhaul

I would have suspected a higher grade as well. My Lund had PlyDek on the floor and it was in pretty darn good shape given the age. I think that is what Lund is using today as well. I called the PlyDek manufacturer to find out where I could buy it in my area but it wasn't available. He suggested contacting Lund to see if they would sell me some but that wasn't convenient. You can order it from Gander Mtn but the thickness I needed wasn't available and the cost with shipping was $$$$.

I have not been unhappy with the Arauco. I selected it based on recommendations here and it was available in stock at my local Menards. I did have to pick through a pile to find several pieces that were nice and flat. I probably would have used marine grade if someone local carried it in stock but nobody does. It's all special order.
