Rebuild Repower

[Slightly_Twisted]

Took a few days off from working on the boat and work last week almost broke me. 30 hours on the clock in under 48 hours total, between football and a 34 team soccer tournament it took me a few days to recover.

This week I finished tabbing in the stringers. All the sides have 4 layer of 1708 all wet on wet. 8 in-10in-15in-then a 10 in covering any exposed wood. The knees got the same treatment along with adding a few layer to the transom.

I’m going to sand the sides tomorrow and waterproof the tops with two layers of 6oz cloth. Then on to the bulkheads and the side supports.

I never wanted to add foam back to a hull but I’m really thinking about it now. What do you guys think of this. So the outer sides of the stringers in cuddy cabins are not used for rigging. If I fill them with foam to the height of the stringers the shape out a low channel leading to the center line. Then once the foam is shaped to drain to the bilge, glass over them so the foam is 100% sealed and the water if any gets in flows over the glass capped foam.

Thoughts?

I’ll post some pictures tomorrow
