Anyone.......

Any recommendations on a shop to replace stringers on an 86 supra? I tore out my floors and outer stringers two years ago and haven't touched it since. Figure I should just pay to get it done. I'm...

Wow! $750 was a great deal. Other than the floors, the rest of the boat looks great. I look forward to seeing the progress.

I've thought the same thing. Maybe someone will have the answer

Awesome! You did a great job.

Id like love to see more pictures too. I have the exact same boat (only in much worse shape). A pic of the dash and maybe one of the observation seat. Does the back cushion come out for storage? ...

That is pretty damn cool!

Took out the two outer stringers today. How...

Do they make a wiring harness for a 1985 Sunsport? I am currently replacing the stringers and floor. I thought it would only make sense to replace the wiring while I'm at it.

Ckracing, I've got an 86 sunsport and it has an access there. You probably do too.

I used the cup style on my grinder right down to the hull. No problems.

A grinder with a wire brush on it will turn that foam into a dust you can vacuum up with a shopvac. It's super quick and virtually no physical labor. Just wear a mask so you don't breath it.

Lots of good points for keeping the ski pylon. As for buying a skylon, I think I'll pass. Skylons were lame in the 90's and well...they're still really lame.

jetlink- Good point about the bolts to the tracking fin. I didn't think about that. I'll just leave it alone. Maybe just pull the pylon out if it really seems to be in the way. I've seen a few...

Has anyone ever moved the ski pylon to the back like a V-drive on an old Sunsport? I don't have the money for a tower and the back seat is useless with the current set up. Since the whole floor...

Sorry, no picture. I'll try to take one tomorrow. Swim platform bolts are off to either side of the stringers so I don't think that is why they did it that way. It's strange. Of all the pics...

New question... The old stringers stop short of the transom by about 3"-4". Should I do the same thing with the new stringers?

I've made a little progress. I've got all the foam out and the stringers definitely have some problem areas. Right now, I'm removing all the upholstered panels and I'm not sure how to disconnect...

I've definitely read the fluff and buff thread. I'm hoping I don't have to take the whole thing apart but only time will tell. One thing is for sure though. There is a ton of information in here...

Ouch! Why do you have to be so mean😃

It's crazy what can be hiding under a little fiberglass. The floor only had two small soft spots.

The floors pretty much fell apart in my hands. All the cross bracing was raw wood so it was mush as well. Surprisingly, the stringers seem good. I plan on drilling a few limber holes so hopefully...

Not exactly in the correct order but you get the idea. I've got 90% of the foam out as of this weekend.
