My boat is down to bare stringers and the foam is removed. My plan right now: do one side of the boat at once and one stringer at a time.
1) sawsall out the stringer and scrape or sharpe out exact original location (start with the main or inner stringer)
2)sand down area where new glass will go
3) use old stringer or stringer shell as a template and carve out my new piece of wood
4)lay stringer on bare floor and glass it to the floor just enough to hold it straight and upright and once dry glass the crap out of the whole stringer including engine mounts
5) do this for the other three main length way stringers
6) lay in 6 ribs and glass them in
7)foam or floor im not sure which should be first
everything else
Questions:
1) nothing goes under the stringer like glue or anything correct?
2) how far on each side of the stringer do i need to glass 6-10 inches or do i just get them set and standing then blanket the whole bottom
3)what to do for engine mounts? lay in the main stringer then bolt and fiberglass a 6x6 to it?
4)materials what kind of fiberglass do i use? and how much
5) can i use any wood from the homedepot or lumber yard? im no engineer but im figuring any wood would be plenty strong
Thanks and any help is appreciated sorry for being so long winded but i like to get everything done at once
Also if anyone knows places with great prices for the glass and foam that would be great
