Re: Replacement an option
Once I have the bottom off I'll consider the replacement option. What type of glue would be best for this break? Resorcinol(sp) glue? Larry, whether you use "regular" epoxy (West 105/205 etc) or a special epoxy for oily wood, here's how I'd do it: 1. First, use a regular mix of epoxy, or ...

Well, today I've been in the gradual process of taking this old boat apart. That means taking the pretty stuff off so that I can see what's ugly beneath that needs replacing and/or repairing. First off, there's more rot in the frames than I had originally seen, although I always expected to find mor...

Nope, she's still at the bottom of my driveway under that new HF tarp. I really haven't made any progress since I posted that last update. Last weekend was largely spent getting my C22 hauled off by the new owners. They had hired U-Haul to wire their Odyssey for electric brakes. Apparently, it had t...

Today's progress 1/23/08
Well, the weather dried up and it was low/mid 40's, plus I had some spare time to "play"! I've fully documented every step before & after in photos, and I'm putting each set of screws or nails into labeled baggies, because there's no way I'd remember it all by the time I put it back to...

What about the order of replacing frames vs. strakes? For some of my frames, I'll just need to scarf in a short piece at the keel to repair the rot. Some, however, need to be steamed because they're broken at the turn of the bilge/side. Seems like you need the frames to shape the planking, and the p...

Sorry to resurrect an old topic, but I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Bill Eason, and I'll be bringing Dave's boat to her new home this weekend and beginning her restoration. I'm also in Atlanta, GA and - long story short - I met Dave and his boat about 3.5 years ago just by chance on the first day...
