F32 Stringers Replacement
Built an A Frame to pull the motors. Then some bulkhead and stringer repairs and a fresh coat of Bilge paint. More pics to come.

Re: F32 360 Motors coming out and Bilge Rejuvenation
Did you run into any issues lifting them out with the A-frame? Any notes on position or additional support underneath?

One word: Ugh!
I needed a less expensive hobby, so I bought a boat!

Wow, that looks bad. Could you post pics during replacement? Would you consider steel fabrication along with the new wood? What bilge paint do you use? Thanks.
Re: F32 360 Motors coming out and Bilge Rejuvenation
Well during the summer I made new stringers.
Created templates out of foam insulation board and then transferred them to 3/4 inch Marine ply.
I bonded 4 layers of ply to create 3 inch wide stringers. Bonded the stringers in the hull and then will encapsulate them in fiberglass.

I wouldn't use steel as a replacement. I think it would be to heavy.buffalobill wrote: ↑Thu Aug 13, 2020 9:39 am Wow, that looks bad. Could you post pics during replacement? Would you consider steel fabrication along with the new wood? What bilge paint do you use? Thanks.
