Re: Boat Restoration Question

quote Greg:

Thanks very much to all who replied. It’s greatly appreciated. All the advice is very helpful. I’m going to use the famowood for the fastener holes and 5200 for the seam joint where the bottom of the hull meets the sides. The gap size in the seam varies from 1/4 inch to a 16th of an inch. My plan is to open up the 16th a little with the dremel so I can get a good amount of 5200 in there. There is a piece of mahogany trim that will go over the seam so none of it will be visible. Only sides of the hull will be painted and everything else will be stained and varnished. Moving forward I will try not to post about the boat restoration as this is a forum for outboards.[/color] I will PM the guys who offered assistance for future advice and again thanks to everyone who responded. It’s was a big help.

I hope you don’t try too hard to not post .I find this topic very interesting . Boat repair, restoration and maintenance are good for any outboarder to know :ugeek: . To keep it on topic you could just slip in a few questions about an outboard 😆 Even better would be for you to get a membership so you have access to the Dockside chat section where non outboard topics are discussed.

I’d like to see how you do the repair.Safe to say we all like pictures of others handiwork.
