Hey everybody, I've got a 1972 Biercraft Tri-hull fish and ski boat that is currently undergoing a complete resto-mod. Anyone ever heard of these boats? There doesn't seem to be any info on the internet anywhere. We have allready replaced the stringer, floor, and are currently in the middle of doing the paint work. My question is, we didn't use any kind of foam under the floor (.5" treated ply) because there wasn't any to begin with. Is this going to cause any problems?<br /><br />Another question, we've chosen some poly paint to use on the outside, with the graphics nearly done today. Is there any problem with this paint in a marine application? It is basically automotive paint laid over a sandable primer. <br /><br />Thanks for your help,<br /><br />Kyle
<br /><br />I've never heard of your Biercraft...... It could have been a small regional builder......<br /><br />It sounds like you're well on your way to Fun this summer..........<br /><br />There's Allot of answers to your Foam Question..........<br />The boat seems to have survived for 33 years Without it,.......... But, In the name of Safety, Most people will tell you it's Absolutely Nessessary,.....<br /><br />The Same applies to your Paint Question........ Lot's of Answers.........<br />Personally,....... I've painted an awful lot of boats, both Fiberglass,+ Aluminum with MSU 2pt. Ureathane Automotive paint,.... Both above,+ below the waterline.....<br />With No Real Issues......
