Stringer Replacment

[sledjunky]

I am going to replace the stringers in my 1985 aerocraft mach 2 the problem is that I want to rip out and clean all surfaces and get it ready to put in the new ones . but I think it would not be warm enough to glass in. can I move the boat on a trailer with rollers without the stringers in it to storage with out any problems?

Re: Stringer Replacment

usually you have to block the boat level,remove stringers,install new ones and floor to keep everything aligned.
you should be able to move it on trailer carefully not to crack the hull,just make sure you get everything level,front and back before you install stringers.

Ok would it be ok to just do 1 stinger at a time and keep on roller trailer? I have room restraints and need to keep on trailer

Re: Stringer Replacment

I would advise you to make some supports to put your boat on to do your work. Cheap to do out of scrap 2x4's and some scrap carpet. check out this guys thread to see how he did it.
