Hey Borgie - THX!!!!!

You got it! Looking forward to seeing your project!

Thanks! I'm doing a 1985 22' Vaughn - (we restored one almost two years ago and posted the restoration on RiverDavesPlace) that turned out AWESOME!!!! It was originally set up as a outboard that we reconfigured into a BBC with Bravo 1 drive. It looks and rides just like a 24' Schiada. Hope to start grinding out the old wood on the transom next week! Thanks for the lead on the 3M product!!!!!

Here's a few pictures of my stringers which I bedded in on the floor side with 3M Corebond, and used West system 404 adhesive filler on the back side and at each end.

WOW! Nice job!! How much Corebond did you use for the transom and stringers?

Borgie 04-22-2014 11:44 PM

Thanks! When all is said and done with transom, stringers and fillet work, I will have used 4 gallons out of the 5 gallon pail. Corebond is a way better choice vs cabosil for fillets IMO, glassdave turned me onto this idea. I really like the 3m Corebond, and West System 404 adhesive/filler. The bond of these products can be summed up in one word "tenacious". So glad I didn't do this the traditional way!
