The cockpit sole is not bonded to the stringer grid, so that is an opportunity to strengthen the boat on a re-build.

Separating the deck and hull pieces will be a bit more challenging because of the adhesive, but if the stringer grid is in bad shape (which it probably is) you will really need good access, and IMO, cutting the sole of the cockpit is not a good approach with the '2-piece' construction boats.

BTW - I have the 1990 Brochure PDF, if you would like it. Not sure if Formula has the old brochures online any more.

I think Formula still has the PDF for the 1990 online, I'm hoping splitting the hull won't be so bad, I know the front part of the boat stringers are solid, I am more worried about the hull moving once I start cutting the bulkheads out and the rear stringers.

The bunk trailer should be good to hold the hull in shape, but you could add some support with some extra boards and braces. Also put the trailer itself up on blocks in several places along its length.

When I did the stringers on my 242, I just left it on the trailer, since it was bunks. It was a partial re-build, so not as fragile.

Mine was done the same way... rear quarter of the boat only. We left her on the trailer, and since she was on straight bunks with a support under the keel (Owen and Sons trailer... awesome trailer btw), we saw no need to mess with any other supports.

If you take the cap off, it'll be a different story.

tpenfield Did you split the hull when you did yours?

Does anyone know where I can get all the weatherstrips that are in the front windshield? The one that runs in the track where the windshield bolts down and the vertical ones?

Things are coming along, still in the disassembly stage, next will be the wiring removal and dash, windshield, motors and drives

No, I did not split the boat halves, I did the rear 1/3, similar to what TomZ had done.

I have a thread on iBoats about the repair . . . http://forums.iboats.com/forum/boat-...rs-w-many-pics

The bulkhead and parts of the stringers were rotted. The transom was OK.

Your rebuild thread on iboats was extremely helpful for when we did mine. Very informative! Anyone with a Formula from this era should check it out.

Keep the pictures and information coming..... I love seeing these beautiful 'Birds brought back for a second life!

I am also in search of these molded plastic inserts if anyone has information. Taylor Made has nothing despite having purchased Water Bonnet.
