You make it sound easy :) To make a pattern for your floor ,,,take a sheet of doorskin and cut 1 inch strips ,,home depot will do it for you. Then take a hot glue gun and u can glue a nice pattern for anything and break the doorskin by hand . If u have a big area and u cant get the whole thing in and out,,now u can break the doorskin pattern in pieces and number them then outside of the boat u can place them on the sheet (whatever ) and cut your floor ,bulkheads ,transom ,,anything. Then u cut that in pieces to put in place after u laminated 1 side of it ( or both ) and then place in the spot needed and glass over and in place and be done !!! |
That's a really good idea. That should help make the template for sure !!
Now I just need to get my hands on some putty. |

Upstate NY.
Let me yank the rest of the floor and check the rest of the stringers first. Hopefully I don't need to touch them... but you never know. |
Well... I ripped the floor out the rest of the way today. And the stringers are toast. So much for being lucky. The boat is sitting on the trailer which has 2 sets of bunk rails. The two rails together span close to 20 ft.
Where do I head from here? I was thinking I probably should yank the gas tank and check the rest since at this point I'm commited to the project already. It doesnt look like any of the flooring was glued to the stringers. So I'm assuming when I put it back together I shouldn't change anything? What steps should I take before removing any of the stringers? |
it was put together by wellcraft...forget about how it was put together originally. brfore you start chopping out stringers and bulkheads.... cradle the boat up good to hold its shape. then find out just how much you need to do. if you need to doo all the stringers and bulkheads...its easier to pull the deck. it's a lot of manual labor, but nothing is too difficult.

I'm going to try and get the tank pulled today. That should give me a better Idea. I've never split the deck off a boat before. Is it basically just a million screws behind the rub rail holding it together? Other then wiring?
How much would you guess the deck weighs on a 31ft? 2k lbs? I assuming that I need to use epoxy resin on all bulk heads and stringers. What type of materiel should I use? I need to keep the price down or the boss lady is going to crack the whip !! |
