Fiberglass cost/supplies guesstimate

[aborgman]

I need to do stringers, deck, and transom on my 1969 Glastron V-147, and I'm looking for some help from you fiber glass experts on estimating costs and what I need for the job. The wood I can handle, I know what that costs.

Here are the details - sizes are a bit overestimated.

Transom:
65"x30" - will be two layers of 3/4" PT plywood. Just resin between the pieces, or resin and mat? How about between the transom and the outer skin?

Stringers:

2 @ 1"x4"/6"x12'
2 @ 1"x4"/6"x6'

Deck:
12'x5', 3/4 PT plywood, glassing both sides.


So what are your best estimates for total cost, and what materials do I need? Recommended layup schedule for each of the above? Lay your fiberglass wisdom upon me.

resin is allways used with matt......yes use matt between the peices of ply ....and...the hull transom

Stringers:

2 @ 1"x4"/6"x12'
2 @ 1"x4"/6"x6'

use 3/4 ply for the strings...not dimensional

Deck:
12'x5', 3/4 PT plywood, glassing both sides.

1. read some of the compleated projects.....

also read all of the hull extension thread...it has pics and detailes of everything your doing...including layup schedules...jointing wood, mxing peanut butter and more.....

as an estimate for cost, on a 14 footer....you could do it for under a grand...start to finish.
