So, all the stringers were bad?

The inners front and rear were badly rotted. The outers in the rear were somewhat rotten. And the outers in the front are surprisingly ok.

What an insane amount of work but IMO it's worth it. These older scarabs have some beautiful lines but I may be biased! :)

Definitely gonna watch this one unfold!!

Wow a lot of work but I think it'll be worth it these are some good looking rides.

We got some more done tonight...

It's coming along can't wait to see this thing done.

What type of resin and fiberglass materials are you using?...........If I had known beforehand how much VE resin I was going to use on my 27 Sport resto,
I wouldn't have bought in 5 gallon allotments..........I should've bought a 50 gallon drum!.................Great job, your learning all there is to fiberglass work!

Looks like great work! You have to love the old Scarabs.:coolcowboy:

We're using evercoat resin and have been using this fabric:

I ran out and ordered some more, but I messed up and ordered some of this:

It's lighter, so we decided against using it on the stringers, and I ordered more of the first kind to finish the job. What are you guys thoughts on the lighter type? I thought about using it in areas that weren't as structurally important?

The 10 oz. cloth wets out very good and should be used where you want a smooth finish (I used it as the last layer on the cockpit floor and in the bilge)
it's not a good structural material like a 1708 biaxial......stringers and transoms etc; etc;
