I have never recored a boat but I own a small bodyshop and do quite a bit of fiberglass work. I have some research do do before I start or even ask for advice but I wanted to get on here and share my story and build in hopes of reciting some pointers along the way. I have no propped DOING the work but the theory of different materials I will need help with.
So here is my plan as of now... the floor is flopping around the way it sits now so I'll build a jig for it first
Plan to leave the cap on it, rebuild the transom with plywood, one sheet of choppedat under the core and 2 layers of biax on top, one turned 45° from the other. Then 4 plywood stringers that kick up the transom. 2 maybe 3 bulk heads then a 1/2" plywood floor glassed in. Lastly I'm planning on pouring foam in under the floor cause there is a good chance it will get swamped at LOTO and it will make it even stronger, right? Like a jetski...
The way you see it in the pictures is the way I got it. The core is out and its flimsy. I don't know how thick it was that's why I am on here sharing my project asking for guidance. The boat came with some sheets of 1/2" balsa so I am going to core with that. I was just towing a plan out there hoping for a little criticism and guidance
Any chance I can do this all at once and bag it together? I hate the idea of sticking the balsa down then coming back and gassing on to of it. Or do I put the mat under the balsa and only use enough resin to penitrate half way up the balsa, then come back, soak it, glass the top and bag it?
I was trying reaserch this not just ask how to do it but in all the threads I read it's just different guys doing different things with other bickering. Can someone please just give me a quick step by step of the standard process? Like I said, I've never recored a boat so before we argue about epoxy vs polyester and what type of glass, I would really appreciate reading the process for this.
