NEpats ...post it on boat builder central ...they have a very large and knowledgable crew building and repairing boats and there pricing for materials is pretty good too....I have used them on several occasions....they have a boat designer on staff for technical questions and they list a ton of how to tutorials as well...good luck with the project.

That is pretty incredible Destroyer, I am going to revisit the whole idea again, I was pretty much set on Arjay but am concerned that it has less flex and would stress rest of hull as a result. The geniuses that gave us this wonderful hull probably figured a little flex in the transom would act as a somewhat shock absorber.
Ritchie Rich thank you, I'll check out that site for sure. |

Nice decals :clap:

that's a real nice repair job!, how much did it cost for all the materials? I think I need about 13 gals of Arjay for mine. Decals are sweet!

I use 3 pails (15 gallons ) however I did spill about 2 gallons ! Where are you located ? Here is where I purchase my Arjay http://www.fiberglassservices.com/ excellent customer service and super fast shipment to my job ...Here is the price list from there catalog (Download the PDF)
ARJAY 6011 ARJ-PT-104 Gallon $ 35.36 hardener including ARJ-PT-105 5 Gallon $128.13 hardener included As you can see very cheap , My in law is trucking up his stuff via 95 North to the BRONX this Saturday and Next Saturday (two trips) if you like purchase it drop ship to me in Orlando and I will send it with him, we arrange a meet point and bingo ..PM me if its something you consider ... My address is known on this board so this is no scam ... Guys as for the Decals Ebay ! |
thanks for the offer of help nymack66 but I think I'm OK. I have a buddy who's heading down to collect his stuff in a few weeks...split up with his gal in Deland and now lives next town over from me. Otherwise would definitely have gone for it and I'm very grateful for the offer, I'm about 3 hrs to Bronx. Thanks for the info, the Arjay is cheap compared to others, I've only heard good stuff about it too. I think I can do mine completely thru the cap, I can see on yours it was not possible, my ply is more like a paste! The more I look at your pictures the more impressed I am. Are you a glass guy?. Nice touch dropping the bilge drain, seems ridiculous to have an inch+ of water stuck in there at all times. The rub rail is a nice look too.
Grateful Steve |
just a belated "welcome to the site" from another pats fan...:clap:

thanks Road King Cole, this forum is the best, I'm confident I can rebuild my V with advice from the crew here. Here's to a great season!:beer:

NYMack, where did you get the rub rail? Is it just something standard from the marine store or is there something more specific I should get for my '82 V? I was thinking I'd to silicone it real good, then try & replace the rail. This picture you can see how the old rail was poorly installed when it was replaced.
