Ok back at it full force. Ready to start making stringers and get that part all done. I got the bilge all smoothed out. Walls and transom were top coated and block sanded out. Got a final plan on engines moving forward on that as well. Let’s talk about the best way to make stronger patterns ....... foam ? String lines ? And measurements
|
Got the foam from the head liner ground all out today what a job!!!! Got the bilge rest of the way sanded and ready for primer moving along I’ll get some pics up !!!
|
I’ll post some pictures soon ended up having to replace some coding under the glass we’re the tanks go just when I thought I couldn’t tear out anymore lol
|

Just going threw camera roll these pics were from when i removes the liner in the cabin looks like the liner was just sat in over top of some wiring. 25 years of abuse. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...17f87eb5f5.png This is what made me decide to re wire entire boat. That is all the wiring that runs up the Stb side next to helm we’re it sits on top of the side bulk head (that was broke) all the wiring is rubbed threw. So that’s explains the gauges dancing around and lights flickering. If you have those problems check there !!! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...643a8478e.jpeg That’s cabin tabbing that I was able to peal off in pieces that used to tab in the liner. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...f20b942ce.jpeg Always wondered what that smell was 😂 |
Those circuits probably did not work very well either. Someone was lucky there was not a fire !!

This is that piece of wood that they used as a half bulk head they glasses to the side with tabbing and then it runs behind the dash area and in my boat was never attached to anything so it was sandwiched between the liner and the dash. I had small spider crackes on the outside due to that hitting the side wall. If your dash area rattles check that area !!! |
That’s when I decided to rip out every thing. All the wiring all the old bulk heads and start fresh amazing how these things get out of control lol
|
Yea no turning back now 😁
Sure will be nice once it’s finished. |
What is amazing is how it looked when you started. It wasn’t like you were tearing into some rat of a boat!

Seems to be very common I’m completely redoing it and making that one big bulk head that ties into the sides and goes around the cabin door. Know that the liner is out

Broke clean that pic is how I found it I have seen a few this was
|
It did look good!!! We had already updated interior when we bought it never really planned on ever getting this far into it but it just kept snowballing.
|
How do you guys feel about bilge colors I was always set on white but the shark gray is kinda appealing ? Any thoughts kinda was kicking around the idea. I’m reAlly thinking sides are going to be dark silver and the deck like a merc blue. Engines are going to be blacked out.
|
White shows dirty so easy, that's why I love my red, but red won't be right in yours, I would smooth it and paint the same silver as boat, would be so nice haha

Seems to be a very common issue. They way it is put together really isn’t the best. With everything removed I’m making that a bulk head that goes from side to side and will run all the way up. That will really help stiffen up the dash area a lot of the ones I have seen that break loose the end up hiring the side when the boat it flexing and end up putting a impact load spider crack on the outside. I had that as well and ground it all down and glassed it up then regeled
