1986 C22... let the fun begin

[Trueser]

Well I had to start on her before it starts snowing!

I pulled the top off to fix the floor. And after seeing what George did I hope to acomplish the same.

I found the stringers and transom were shot!The transom picture is upside down. when we cut it out water ran out the bottom.

I will update with pictures as we progress. The new transom and stringers should be in by Saturday.

After pulling out the old stringers this is what I found!

The stringers were made out of PINE.


One was completely shot!

Hi Mike
This guy does nice work. :smash:
I have a question though.
With that bulkhead, will you be able to remove the deck?

:wavey:

[Trueser]

Hey George,

I will be able to remove the bulkhead with a little work. He has made it so it can be removed. you really can tell the difference everything is stiff.

I'm looking forward to Friday. He should have it all chopped in. and the dash should have some gel!


Mike

[Trueser]

Update 11/26

Inside has all been gel-coated.

[Trueser]

The dash is done and the floor is solid as a Rock. Everything has been sealed up in gel inside the engine compartment.

Just in time.

Check out the transom shot. I found the secret this guy used. It cost me for him to show me how.

[GG Donzi]

Mike it looks great, I'll try to come over this weekend. I think that is what I'd like to do with my dash. So is Santa going to bring some Gaffrig's?

[Trueser]

Here are some before and after shots.

[Trueser]

Here are a few more.

Work appears to be coming along nicely! Give me a holler and let me know when I can see it. I will contact my paint guy and inform him about the 3M compound today. Thanks for the tips, and your hard work is commended.

[Trueser]

Lenny
This was the thread I was talking about.

There were no Donzi's at the Chicago boat show,

But Im thinking your mounts will work.

I will confirm Soon.

Nice talking with you.

3M?? Whats the secret? Give it up!
Quality work! Nice Job...

[Donzigo]

Yeah, I agree, nice work, what's the secret? Nice gelcoat work. Any sanding involved after the spray?

[Trueser]

The 3M rubbing compound is part number 6025. High gloss!
