82 aquasport osprey 19.6 rebuild
« on: December 12, 2011, 08:54:04 PM »
Hey everybody, this is the beginning of my off season rebuild of the floor of my 82 aquasport, I have removed the motor and console, t-top and electronic box, now the "fun" shall begin... First a little background on this boat..picked it up in Holden Beach NC , in April 2011. The previous owner (not a boat person) had run it into a dock and split the cap on the port side about 4 feet long about 5 feet back from the bow left a hole about 4 indhes high by 4 ft long...patched it with duck tape (not kidding). Sold boat to another , he bought it for the motor and then sold the hull and trailer to me ($700). I rebuilt the cap and painted the outside of the hull to where it is now. During this summer noticed a soft spot or two in the floor , was told the transom was rebuilt 4 or 5 years ago? :?: So the plan is to remove old floor, check the transom, stringers and rebuild what needs to be rebuilt,going to do away with the wiring trough and use 2 pipes (1 for wires , 1 for fuel and hydraulic steering that will be added) make a bigger tank coffin to get a bigger tank( original 45 gallons I want 55-60 if possible)popsting a couple of pics and need a little input:[img

Transom looks good pic #1 but if you look close at pic #2 you can see a place about 1 1/2 inch round that is soft...what will be best way to fix this spot..Also will be raising scuppers about 2 inches and getting rid of middle one.

Will do. Mostly will be looking for info on what type materials to get, epoxy, mat, etc...will probably look for input on ideas for floor setup and stringer rebuild if they need it. I figure they will , I'm figuring on them being water logged... will update as I go, going to try and have it done by end of Jan....I'm optimistic....wife thinks I should know better... but if I rebuild it I know how it was done.. :pirat:

Welcome aboard gman!

Nice ride! Interesting that area in the transom. May not be a bad idea to carry it to a respected glass shop and pick their brain a bit.

Thanks and keep us posted :thumright:

Doing the rebuild yourself there will be no questions of the quality of the work
Good luck and looking forward to seeing the progress

Getting ready to order some materials for the rebuild,
#1 what type fiberglass cloth ( biaxial or mat or combo, 1708?) for the bottom and top of the floor? what weight?
#2 what type fglass for the stringers and transom if nessesary?
#3 Can I use the same foam for stringers and floor voids?
#4 Epoxy hardener , the temp around here will be in the 50'S most of Jan when the work will be done, will fast be to much or should I go with med and mix with fast on cooler days?

Got my tank out yeasterday and am taking hull off trailer on 1/1/2012..should be ready to cut the floor out on 1/3/2012. Will post pics as floor is coming out. Thanks

I am using West Systems epoxy with fast hardner. #205 & #105. I'm up here in the Florida Panhandle and the fast is not too fast in anything below 50 degrees.

Got floor out today, foam and wood was soaked. Going to drill bottom of stringers Friday while removing foam and check them to see if they are wet also.boat must have been made on a Friday (Miller Time).







on this last pic , it's the bottom of the inside transom, transom was redone couple of years ago, looks like it was poured, and ran all over everything on the inside...sounding transom from inside it sounds solid, should I core drill the inside skin to see...

I'm a Miller Lite connoisseur. That can definitely was NOT from 1982. This was the 1982 version...

That looks almost like current issue.

Transom was redone a couple of years ago I was told, could of been put there then, whoever did the transom did it so I couldn't tell where there was a section of floor removed, side of floor 1 ft from transom was still attached to the side wall with roving glass, That stuff was thick too..

Got all the wet foam out today, port side only half as wet as starboard side, starboard side had to use rags to get excess water out..foam took about 3 hours to remove, used a sharpshooter shovel, made it easier....weight of removed foam is about 235 lbs..took a couple of core samples of stringers,and you guessed it...wet..starboard side wet, port side not so much but foam is "crunchy", so Sat morning I will cot tops off stringers and remove the foam from them...will probably let them dry until Tuesday...going to put 1 layer of 1708 biaxial on floor and will do same to stringers after refilled....







..will try and load pics tommorrow after cutting tops off stringers if time before work at the firehouse..

Excellent pics!!! I am betting parts of my deck are like yours was. Make sure once you get the foam out of the stringers check the tabbing and condition of the ply cores inside the stringers. Major progress!!   :thumright:
