Capt-Seasick 270 xf rebuild

[seabob4]

By all means Brian, stiffen up the hull sides.  We used to use Prisma beams at PL...http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/us ... +Stiffener  They work great, I'd recommend glassing them in on the diagonal, give you some top to bottom as well as fore and aft stiffness...

BOB! YOUR AWESOME!  Thanks for that link, thats going to make that job soooo much easier! might even put in some of those as some support stingers to the bigger ones... I really like to over due things!   So bad news on my Hynautic sterring....spent today bleeding it and it was hard as hell to turn... bleed it even more.. front to back... bleeder screws out.... and still very hard to turn.... ended up blowing a line apart! not sure whats going on but I think its went bad, or something is stuck.... any help is welcomed!

[captseasick]

ok so it might be a bad relief valve... gonna order a rebuild kit and see where it goes.....

Brian, she's a beaut!

On the rebuild, add as you see fit....but keep in mind weight. Doesn't take long to add an extra several hundred pounds.

In hindsight,  we goofed on ours in a couple of places with unnecessary weight

Just another 2 cent consideration ....sweet ride!

Scotty, keep in mind, on a 22-2 CC, extra weight can have a very detrimental effect, given the base weight of the boat.  A 270?  Can absorb a lot more added weight, given it's base weight, without affecting it's performance.

Kind of an apples(your boat)/oranges(Brian's boat) type of deal...

[gran398]

Agree. But weight is weight...and added weight is added money.

The link/product recommended is great for the need.

Thought was, add as much as needed to structurally stiffen...but not overkill.  Excess weight also affects performance and fuel economy.

OK, so need some more wisdom, hope yall are still checking in on us big boat guys.... so I am starting my rebuild now, have the windless off and anchor locker opened up.... gonna cut the locker floor out for bow eye placement and then put floor back in with a drain to drain the water out of the boat not the bilge.... so I noted that my acrillic escape hatch has multiple crack and is leaking around the seal... so who can I get the seal from and possible a new hatch???   Thanks again guys... pics soon to come!

[seabob4]

Brian, you're either looking at a Bomat hatch or a Lewmar hatch...most likely a Bomar.  They're owned by Pompanette now, I'd contact the New Hampshire location...http://www.pompanette.com/pomp.nsf/Mark ... _contactus

So took down the head liner and all the inside teak trim out and found a broken heart in the bathroom....... Where a hole was drilled behind the window frame in the left corner to run the wires for the wiper motor wasn't sealed correctly so every time it rained for years it leaked into the ceiling of the bathroom and destroyed wood!!! have most of it pulled out, still have a little left to go.....  So I have resealed the windows and will glass the hole in to prevent this from ever happening again... the rest of the pics are of the bottom antifoul.. which is like 2 quarters stacked thick being sanded off and my delux stairs to get into the boat lol.... also my new bow eye and today finished my backing wood which is made from a 4x4 and about 2.5 inches thick... will take pics of glassing process..... hope pics work today....

one big eye!



Anchor floor removed to get to back of bow eye/bolts


template for backing wood... sorry no pics of finished product.. forgot to take.. will upload later...


One color.. my wife likes it... and Yes naming boat after her...Bare-N-Sea

Great progress  
That eye is big - thought the one I just bought was big but dinky compared to that one.
The color scheme looks good - a new top is in the plan?

Those steps are hilarious!!! Where did you get them?

Glassing that ceiling back in could be pretty messy! All the work you have to do now just because someone didn't seal one hole.  

[seabob4]

Brian, love the Seafoam, but for some reason that blue section midships just doesn't seem to go well with the green.

Of course, entirely my opinion.  You guys like it?  Run with it!!

[captseasick]

the stairs came from my dads shop, they stopped working and they bought a new one so I get those.... a jack and wood gets em up.  My wife wants it to be a light blue like that.... Im gonna paint up one with the boat mainly white... with red lines and a dark blue area where the name goes... and see how that looks.... man my boat is messy right now!!
