Stringers and transom replacment on kevlar hull
 

Hello guys i am in the process of restoring an old kevlar 31 excalibur. Its not in the shape the seller claimed but i like the boat and it has lots of potential for what i want to use it for. My question is if i were to redo the stringers, bulkheads an transom which materials can i use with the kevlar hull? Do i need to stay kevlar 49? I have done transoms an stringers and that before but never on a hull like this. Any insite or ideas would help thanks

Bump. Never worked with a kevlar hulled boat before. Top deck seems to be glass and has a foam core in some places and hull has no core that i can see just plywood transom and stringers ect. Anyone know for sure the layup of these boats?

Anything that works with fiberglass will work with kevlar.

The hull was Kevlar. The stringers were probably not. Just grind and glass them.

Ok great thanks for the info. Got a good deal on bravos so i am converting from trs while im redoing the transom and stringers.

I would make sure you only use vinylester so that you get a good bond.
