Alan, thanks for the in depth analysis. I’m thinking that I ought to put together an in-depth survey of all of what elements are compromised and...
Im thinking this could be an excellent solution for leaky topsides, would you agree?
Same thing far as I know
TC: 48”
Oh ok, I was measuring curve. Ill get that measured
Also - there is a chine stinger
The only thing that doesnt seem right, is that TC 0f 98-1/2” is not a typo. As far as I i understand what we are talking about:...
Sdowney, Wow! I like what you’re saying a lot… And the pics are very informative, thank you! So you used this on the hull you’re saying,...
Hi Alan, I assume it is a short ton, as it was designed & built in the US. That is in fact the measurement as you described for TC. Its a motor...
If coating in epoxy would speed rot, would it be better, last longer just not to cover it? And spot treat significant leaks with a flexible epoxy?
Hi AlanX, I got the measurements together: LWL: 52'10" BWL: 14'1" TC: 8'3" Displacement: 28 Tons Max speed: ~ 8knots Frame Spacings: From...
I had heard that epoxy on the topsides being so hard is likely to crack, no?
There has got to be some kind of rubberized sealer that I could coat the topsides in, that would give me at least a couple years before worrying...
Are you saying completely remove the entire deck down to the deck-beams replace with plywood?-- Would it be possible to just take up the top...
If its not compliant with any building standard, how difficult do you think it would be to be able to get the minimum liability insurance required...
Why would I want to cut up my good planking and then glue it back together and re-install it? I just dont understand how that is any better than...
Interesting, I'm curious, how do the external chines replace the effect of frames when instead they run parallel with the planking?
AlanX, Thanks for your in-depth analysis - This seems hopeful - that not necessarily too thick a sheathing would be necessary, is that correct?...
Fallguy, So far I haven't seen any cracks in the floors so far... I hadn't thought of the possibility that for frames only beginning to crack...
Rumars, Indeed, I am confused a tad by the addition of the option to strip plank the boat as an alternative. I don't understand, why would you...
