Re: Replacing Bayliner Capri stringers/deck with pix

so, Grand Point Marina, the local OMC service place and former dealer (still Evinrude/Johnson) says they CAN'T get it apart...the shift mechanism is pressed together and will be destroyed if they try

...yea, wtf-ever, not when I'm looking at the OMC manual myself on how to do it, I just don't have the 909881 tool for it.

So, online I've ordered all the related seals and tools to do it myself, like $60. Gonna be another weekend without the Capri . least I have my Jet Ski though

Re: Replacing Bayliner Capri stringers/deck with pix

sry I've been slacking on pix, but yeah, she's pretty much done and fully operational. Took a trip from Benton Harbor, MI to Chicago and spent the 4th on Torch Lake

oh, and of course:

it's holding up well, sterndrive isn't leaking/leaking in anymore...life's good! and yes, it was worth the countless hours and thousands of dollars I've dumped into it

I think you need a roach clip for that last photo! You deserve a victory "cigar" so to say. You have done a nice job.

lol that's a watermelon cigar. I don't really smoke but will on special occasions.

I found the canopy/bimini top on craigslist from an '84. It's in pretty much perfect shape, I just had to get some hardware for it. It came with the rear part too...dunno what it's called but I'd kinda call it a camper or overnight top which was pretty nice for when it was raining at the dock in Chicago. It was $125 and I'd much rather have a factory top rather than a universal one.

The only thing I really need to do is to add carpet to the sides of the hull inside and the cabin when I get around to it.

Thanks for all the compliments, encouragement, and help along the way. I'd definitely fly one of those "see on iBoats.com" pennants if someone comes up with one

Re: Replacing Bayliner Capri stringers/deck with pix

I regret not being on the boards for the past few months to lend my help where it can be used, but this season was awesome. The countless hours and dollars spent were well worth it

I posted some of my trip pix in the destinations board:

Man your boat looks great! Gives me motivation.

Re: Replacing Bayliner Capri stringers/deck with pix

Just read through your post. Nice job. It is great motivation for me.

The only question I have is about epoxy resin. How many gallons did you end up using? I am going to deck and cross-drill (reinforce) stringers with epoxy resin on an 18' Bayliner. Can't decide to order 5 gallons to start then more as I go (if needed), or just order 10 gallons for peace of mind.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Richard

Get the 10 you will probably need more. I used 12 to 13 on mine and did not do stringers. Floor transom, seat bases and uprights for the cuddy.

Yeah. I think I am going to get the 10. Doubt I will need more than this though. More like 7ish from liberal calculations. Theoretical Calculations from the company is about 4 gallons. Of course that is not factoring in a lot of variables, mainly the newbie variable.

The way the pricing/shipping, it makes no sense to just buy 7. Either 1/2, 1, 2, 5, or 10. So 10 it will be.

Thanks,
