Excalibur 24 rebuild
Yup bit the bullet and started cutting everything out, most likely this will turn into transom, stringers, deck, tank, and whatever else is found along the way.

Well im back at it again, ripped out the transom for the second time because of a hacked install. Its august, the weather is right i have some time off so im making my last run and finishing this thing.
Put in about 8 hours again to rip it out for the second time, got heat stroke the first day and puked though lol after about 5 hours in. Started the grinding process today, and looks like i have about 10 hours of grinding ahead of me. Going down to the welding supply to pick up some high quality flap discs tomorrow morning, should make a difference. My plan is vinylester resin, with corbond to bed the transom. Not sure if im using marine grade or not, might just go for cabinet grade? |
Just use the marine grade, $90 a sheet at fairhaven lumber. Good luck with it. Good reasonable glass guys that can get things done in less than a year are turning into unicorns. I get my flap discs from harbor freight pretty cheap.
