bayliner mutiny resto

[77mutiny]

i've been working on this 1977 bayliner mutiny, and now i've come to the point where i need to find out if i should add any extra matt to this hull damage.
it looks like it must have hit something and it was repaired from below the boat with pretty decent patch which allows no leaks (already water tested it). i'm sure its probably been run plenty of times likes this, but since i have to rebuild the floor and now have access to the damage from inside i was wondering if anyone would suggest putting a layer of biax and some epoxy on top of it?
thanks in advance

i'm getting ready to glass the transom in to the hull, and there are some old motor mount holes in the transom hull where a different motor must have been, whats the best way to fill these?
marine tex or thicken some epoxy ?
thanks in advance

If you plan to gel coat over it, do not use epoxy, Polyester resin nor gel coat will cure over it. West System claims that with their slow hardner you can gel coat over it but I tried it and had no luck. Go with thickened poly or the marine tex. If it were me, I would seal the ID of the holes first with several coats of plain poly resin then fill them with the thickened poly. You could then put a thin layer of galss on both sides and gelcoat it. If you don't mind painting over it, epoxy is good.

Are those cracks to the left and right of the patch?

The holes are so small and the gelcoat finish of the hull is really in good shape, i just wanted to patch them with something so it wouldn't leak into the transom wood, so i'll just patch with some epoxy, thanks though.


and jonesg, i'm not sure exactly where you're talking about the cracks on the left and right side, the large slots on either side is where the stringers go back in. other than that there are no other signs of cracks

Re: bayliner mutiny resto

finally got the transom done, working on the stringers now which hopefully won't take long, once i'm done with that its onto the floor.
but before i do the floor i'm wondering......

at the nose of my boat, there was a doghouse underneath the cap that was full of foam, is this an integral part of the boat that i need to put back in?
i imagine it probably needs to be there for "impact protection"?

i plan on putting foam below the floor of course, even though it'll be a pain in the ***, but i was just wondering about the "doghouse"
thanks in advance

*bump* any input guys?

i would like to at least cut down on the height of the original "doghouse" as it went all the way to the top of the underside of the bow, that way i could use it for minimal storage.........but i don't want to ruin the structural integrity of the boat either

Re: bayliner mutiny resto

i'm getting ready to install the deck in my boat, finished up with the stringers, just need to do the deck and paint the cap, and yes i'll make sure to have the cap on when i install the deck so that it doesn't bow out.
i plan on putting two layers of epoxy on the underside of the deck, install it,
peanut butter on the sides to fill any gaps, then prob two layers of glass on the top, question is how many layers is reccomended for top coat on the deck? and should i use biax above all other types of cloth?

also i've seen where some people have "poured" a layer of ....something, almost like a bed liner, but white, on top of their deck with an anti slip additive in it, is that just white exterior paint? or something more?

thanks in advance
