Jetty Rocker Rebuild
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			I've been putting off replacing my stringers in my 1975 (Jetty Rocket) for about 10 years and I finally committed. I'll try to post as many pics as I can.  I'll also update my description since I swapped the Johnson 225 for a Yamaha F115.  Once complete I have a Yamaha F150 that's replacing the F115.  I have a friend that is helping me and he use to build boats in the Outer Banks a long time ago.  I run a boat repair business that does everything but fiberglass work, so any helpful hints and suggestions will be appreciated.  After cutting the floor out, I found out that the wood in the transom was bad too.  I had the transom replaced 14-15 years ago and the the wood got water in it and was soft.  So this time I'm using all Coosa Board.  I got a sheet of 1 1/2" for the transom and sheets of 3/4 for the stringers and deck.  I'm planning on using Bi-axle 1708 and polyester resin.  I've put about 15 hours into grinding so far.  I'm going to put a layer of glass in the hull before putting the stringers in.  My first question is about resin and mat.  I have Paxton, Donovan and Land-N-Sea suppliers that give me discounts.  Has anyone used the Mar-Pro resins?  Are all resins basically the same or is one brand better than the other?  Also, the Biaxle Mat that I'm looking at is a 17 oz combination mat.  The description says 17oz woven stitched to 1/2 oz chopped strand mat.  The last thing I want to do is use the wrong combination/brand of mat and resin.  I'm new to posting so I have to figure out how to post pics.
