First off I feel like I'm in way over my head! What started as some simple rebuild work turned into what feels like a full rebuild to me since I have never worked on a boat in my life lol. Wanting to have a bow mounted console. Also wanting to lay up some new glass in the hull to make sure she is very sturdy and can hold some weight! Here is what I am working with so far after cutting into it. The previous owner rebuilt it but it wasn't quite how is like it to be. Wanting to have a bow mounted console and all open in the back. After cutting into it I found that it has a marine ply deck but is only laminated on the top but has screws going all he way through allowing for moisture to enter from the inside. Was going to leave be existing wood to allow for a higher deck and prevent from having to build up but I'm really tempted to just pull it all up and start over.
One question for you all, is the liner connected to the hull cap or does it separate if I just unscrew all the bolts holding the rub rail on? Thinking about just cutting the lining off the cap if it is connected.
Sorry for the pic quality. I'll get better pics as the build comes along.

Well I am having trouble uploading new pics but for now I'll just explain progress.
So far I drilled holes in the bottom of the stringers to find the foam soaked so I went ahead and cut the tops off and cleaned them out. While I was doing that I decided to remove the bulkhead that was built into the stringers as t was cracked and weak and had already been repaired once it looked like. Now I started to grind down the glass to make a smooth surface to glass to for now.
I feel like I am almost grinding to deep though, into the woven but trying to grind away the little pits within the woven where the pits are empty of resin. Is that right? Just feels super thin like if I step on it I'm going to fall through :embar:
-
Looks like you did it twice (above) - are you trying to upload more than 3 pics? Sometimes I see a problem doing that. Try 3 pics.
As for the grinding, I'm not sure where you are grinding. The stringers are part of a "system" that was laid and glassed into the boat once the hull was laminated. If you are grinding on the portions between the stringers, usually that needs to be ground down flush but you shouldn't feel a soft spot where you're grinding. :shocked: You could shine a strong flashlight from below the hull at the spot you ground and see what it looks like. These hulls are 1/2" to 3/4" thick on the bottom depending on where you measure.
Show us what you mean. :nSalute:

Trying to but it keeps saying file is to large which is weird because they are the same as before.
Hmm definitely don't seem to be anywhere near 1/2 inch where I'm at. I'll find a way to get the pics to work but for now I am grinding let's say a foot in front of the transom both port/starboard of the keel. Definitely feels flimsy but like you said it could be because there is no real system to support the glass really. Going to remove the stringers and glass the entire hull with 2 layers of 1708.

I see that you are using photo bucket, which is fine. The size for images from an external hosting site is limited to 1100x1100. Make sure that you have your photo bucket acct set to1024x768 (I think this is the default there). 800x600 would be better.

Thanks Rickk I got it figured out!
Here are the pics so far from the previous post

Also when I was grinding I found what looked like a previous repair where someone just laid in a bunch of resin so I ground it back to give it some smoother edges and laid in 2 layers of 1oz mat with one layer of 1808.

Great progress :thumleft:

Well after much debating between cradles and blocks I decided to put the boat up on some styrofoam blocks to finish the rebuild. Weather permitting I will remove the stringers and liner on Friday so I can prep for the 2 layers of 1708!

Now youre cookin :great02:

Now youre cookin :great02:
Haha all thanks to you brother!!

Didn't get as much done as I'd hoped today but progress is progress I guess, I got the stringers removed and did as much grinding as I could to get the rest of the glass layers smoothed. I know one thing for sure the suits I am wearing are just as worthless as they could be. Might as well grind naked if the suits work like they have been -_-
Hopefully I can get the liner out before to long so I can get the actual build starte!

Brings back memories - all bad ones :85:
Are you wearing the tyvec suits with hood?
-
Big ass fan pulling the dust away is a necessity! Another pushing it into the puller doesn't hurt either...
-
so glad that part is in the past for me!

Haha yea it's pretty horrible, I've been wearing 3m hoodies but the damn things rip at the pelvic area lol. Just picked up some tyvec suits tonight though so hopefully they'll be better.
Big :*: fan pulling the dust away is a necessity! Another pushing it into the puller doesn't hurt either...
I usually have a fan but didn't have it today unfortunately! I'll have that thing in there for sure tomorrow, I'll have to try that second one though.
-
I bought 5 tyvec suits at the beginning of my rebuild and I am still on the first one. I wear it when I need to and take it off when I don't. I know they are like portable saunas though.
-
Jeans OVER rubber boots, tucked in long sleeve shirt with wrists taped tight, pants hiked up with a tight belt, headsock and full face respirator are my go-to. Ill wear an extra tshirt and wrap an old tshirt over all that around my neck if im doing real heavy grinding... I don't itch at night 9/10 times

Well hopefully that's the case with these new ones and if not I guess I'll have to try Dirts method!

Sounds pretty solid to me but I'm pretty sure I'll pass out in the middle of grinding due to heat exhaustion.

Well today I finally made what feels like real progress! :cheering2:
After having to grind the pan head screws holding the cap on so I could use a punch to knock them out I finally was able to get the cap and liner removed!! Not to easy to do when I don't have an extra pair of hands around.
Through a couple of hull supports on but the hull actually caved inwards a bit instead of out. After that I started the usual grinding. After all the work today I am about ready to start filling in the chine and keel with some thickened epoxy and layup the first couple of layers on the port side of the hull.
Cannot wait to actually start the rebuild part! Getting there pretty fast actually, have gotten a lot done in around 10 days!

Well it's been a few days since I was able to get any work done so today I tried to make it count!
Started the day off by prepping the hull a bit for a couple of patches and then filled the Strakes in a bit with some thickened epoxy. That was supposed to be all I was going to do but then I said the hell with it and installed the patches and then decided I'd go ahead and glass the hull a bit!
Not the easiest thing to do by myself but I got it done after some ninja-ing around :)
I went ahead and layed 1oz mat followed by 2 layers of 1808 using west system epoxy, wasn't the cheapest laminating day by any means but oh well at least I know it will be nice a sturdy lol.
Finished glassing a bit later than I had liked so I decided to make a type of incubater to help it cure through the cooler evening. Tomorrow if I have time I will lay 2 layers of 12in 1708 along the chines and then start working the bow area up a bit. Then I can go ahead with the stringers and start the build process.
Picked up some power for it also!! 150 four stroke
Shoutout to Dirtwheelfl for all the advice along the way so far! 👍

Wow, great work and fast too. I just finished my 19-6 stingers last night. Glad that part is over with. Oh yeah, sweet motor.
-
Very Nice!

Thanks everyone!
Well I got some more done the last couple of days, was able to get 3 layers of 1708 laid up in the chines as well as glass in a 3in piece of schedule 40 for the drain/keel support.
Going to try and finish glassing the rest of the way up the bow tomorrow but we will see.

Well I've been out of town the last week but I got back yesterday and managed to get 3 layers of 1708 layed up on each side of the bow as well as 3 strips up the keel. Wanted to do them in overlapping fashion over the keel but I just couldn't get the 1708 to form. The cloth definitely doesn't like to soak up this Epoxy during the cooler weather that's for sure. Plenty of airbubbles during this lam but I think it will be fine hopefully. Rolled out all I could but I gave up after about an hr of rolling.
Going to cut the stringers on Monday and hopefully get them glassed in.

I saw that, looks like it was worth the drive though 👍 Where did you drive from ?

Well I've been pretty busy lately with the paintball season starting back up but I'm managing some time in between. I got my stringers all marked out so I could transfer to the 2in divinycell I picked up. Went ahead and cut them out then lammed each side with 2 layers of 1708. Figured that would be enough since there will be 3 tabs on each side as well as 2 layers calling them.
Had a hell of a time trying to get them to sit up straight and become level and I just couldn't get it. With the help of dirtwheels advice I cut some jigs in the middle and then went and bought some 36in clamps and there she went nice and easy.
So after staring at the boat for a couple of hrs I went ahead and put a few pieces of cut divinycell underneath them to protect from hard spots and then tack epoxied them in! Should get them filled in this evening and then I will tab em next week.
Also received my order of epoxy from Raka, couldn't believe how much cheaper it is. Paid the same price for 12 gal of raka as I did for 5 of west system.

Man I miss my paintball days! Stringers look good! I hope you got at least half slow hardener. With medium you have to work fairly quickly.
-
Coming along nicely :thumleft:

Haha yea it can be fun, that's what I've been doing for a living since 2008
Yea I'm actually only using slow hardener unless want to make some quick setting thickened resin.

Thanks Rickk

Well it's been awhile since the last post but I've have been making some progress even though there isn't much to see. A few steps I didn't get pictures of but I was a bit busy.
Got the stringers bedded in some thickened epoxy first of all
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image79.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=13751&title=image79&cat=500)
Once the stringers were bedded I went ahead and started messing around with the bulkheads but I switched from the divinycell to coosa for them now so that's about all that's different. These were rough cuts so don't judge me on them lol.
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image78.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=13750&title=image78&cat=500)
As you can see from the previous pic I ended up cutting out the transom, the outside skin was pretty shot so I figured I might as well. Dam setup for the new skin
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image80.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=13752&title=image80&cat=500)
4 layers of 1708 dry fit and clamped 12-10-8-6 overlaps
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image81.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=13753&title=image81&cat=500)
And of course the layup which actually bothered me when I went out the next day to find a ridge on the bottom where it seems the layers all slid down and bunched up I guess? I left it there and just built up inside of it with 3 more layers of 1708.
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image82.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=13754&title=image82&cat=500)
Coosa clamped in with 2 4x4
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image83.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=13755&title=image83&cat=500)
Clamps pulled off and filled the holes
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image84.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=13756&title=image84&cat=500)
Also I added a layer of 1708 to each of the hull sides and cored the top rim of the hull with 3/4 divinycell. Next step will be to finishing closing in the transom, lay some extra glass on the floors for a clean service for the bulkheads to be glued and then I'm going to extend stringers with knees.
-
Very nice and clean work :bravo_2:
-
Looks like some jam up work man!
-
Thanks guys, definitely a process
-
Looking good!
-
Got the outer bulkheads or ribs tacked in today along with the stringer extensions/knees. Also mounted some coosa up front for the bow eye. Each bulkhead has a layer of 1708 and the knees have a a layer of 1808 and 1708 on each side.
Once I got everything in I started to dry fit the tank which I am very happy with. Think I'm going to use some 2in divinycell to make some supports. Still not sure how I'm going to tie it down.

Looking great! Nice clean work!
-
Very clean lookin! What size tank you go with?
-
It's a 68gal it came with. Not the best looking so I hope it seals up ok lol. I'll give it a test here soon.
-
Coming along nicely :thumleft:

Thanks everyone, only thing I'm worried about is the bulkheads for upfront. There are going to be 2 full size bulkheads like in Dirtwheels mullet build but mine are 3/4 divinycell with two layers of 1708 on each side. You guys think they will support a front deck/console etc or should I pick up something else?

Yeww I'll throw em in!

Moving along slowly!
Laid in a ramp for any water that tried to get into the bow. Made from 3/4 divinycell with 2 layers of 1708
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image97.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=13859&title=image97&cat=500)
Got the 2 front bulkheads epoxied in place. Will make a fish hold/cooler out of the main pit. It will be cores with 4mil core mat. The coosa isn't glued in, just testing a way to make two separate compartments.
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image98.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=13860&title=image98&cat=500)

Also cut In the deck and epoxied it together. It will get 2 layers of 1708 on both sides.

I wish I could find a 19-6 in Sweden. For all I know, I might have the only Aquasport 170 in Sweden.
It will be fun to follow your restoration.

Newest progress!
Incase any of you didn't catch it in previous posts, this happened -_-
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image105.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=14001&title=image105&cat=500)
So I proceeded to handle chisel the entire piece off with a 2 in chisel!! 😫
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image108.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=14004&title=image108&cat=500)
This is after all the chiseling and building up the outside where the old skin was. Also filled in any marks where the chisel hit the new skin.
You can also see the start of the rear deck, trying to find the shape I want. Will be made from 3/4 divinycell. The front of it will be made from 1/2 Penske for hatches / anything else.
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image112.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=14007&title=image112&cat=500)
Also added cap supports and drilled them for the wire run ( 2 1/2 ) schedule 40
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/image110.jpeg) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=14006&title=image110&cat=500)

Also removed all the rotted Balsa from the cap then ground it clean and recorded it.

So far that's where I'm at, have some other stuff being glued together to install. Also picked up all the fuel lines and hoses for the tank. Tank supports being built and should be glassed in tomorrow.
Have both main and front deck made just need to be glassed.

Beautiful work and you're zoomin' right along :thumleft:
I'm a little confused on the transom - I thought you cut the transom out totally and built new. Where'd the layer you chiseled off come from?
-
I had the same question, but after looking closely, I think the stuff he chiseled off was the melamine form.
Looking good! What did you core the cap with?

Thanks Rick, sorry for the confusion but it was the melamine that was stuck somehow.

The darker material is 1/2 Penske and the other is 1/2 h80.

Sure you haven't done this before?! :?: How the gutters coming?

Haha it's looking ok I take it? I haven't even started messing with them yet. Mold making is so foreign to me.
-
Cut some blocks out of 2in H80 and carved them up on the router a bit. Glued them and glasses them in so hopefully the tank can go in tomorrow or Friday.

Also picked up an engine hoist today :)

Here is a 222 that I have been working on forever..had an I/O in it..getting ready to mount bracket...
-
bow
-
wide open deck...
-
Looks pretty sweet! I like that open look, might have to toss that idea around a bit.
-
Alright I'm back! Was in Europe for a bit and then we had a damn hurricane so I just recently was able to get some more work done. I have changed the design a bit since I was last on here as far as console placement etc. Originally I was going to go with a bow mounted console but now it will be on top of the rear deck, hard to explain but it will take shape here in the next month. Also scrapped the Cap as you will see the cap supports have been removed from the hull.
Got all the bulkheads, ribs glassed in. Glasses the front deck (2 layers 1708 each side ) Added two more supports for the tank fore/aft and added foam matting to cushion the tank and allow for expansion. Also closed in the bilge area with a piece of h80. Tank will go in this week then I will use pre glasses panels for the deck and will finish building the back off of the main deck. Figured it would be a bit easier having a nice clean surface to build off of.

Don't mind the piece on the back. Just used to shade the epoxy from the sun in the mornings!
-
Nice clean work, as usual :thumleft:
-
Glue something for the rubrail to screw to?
Nice work!
-
Thanks dawg! Nope just going to cap it with 1708 then roll them with pvc and glass.
-
Ran the router around the rails with a round over bit and then glassed them with some 1708 with overlapping seems every 4 ft or so.

Glued/glasses some divinycell feet for the front deck

Also dry fitting some foam for insulation for the fish box

Nice work! I wish I could find an old 19 6 or 222 here in Sweden.

Thanks! Haha there are plenty down this way ;)

Decided to add in a tank support sort of like a coffin I guess you would call it. 1/2 h80 with 2layers 1708. Also closed in the bulkheads to keep the tank area nice and dry!
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/IMG_20521.JPG) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=14841&title=img-20521&cat=500)

Then I glassed in 2 pieces of some sort of material I got from intrepid. Not sure what it is all I know is it's some sort of pvc base. Holds a screw very nicely so that's what the bildge pumps will mount to. Also can see the pieces of pvc I added for the drains! Big ole 3in

One day I might try to ship one over here. I found a 200 here, but it was under powered and a bit to new for my taste.
I like the older style inner liner better.

Mounted some schedule 40 fittings, ones on the right will run the sending wire and ground back to the console. One on the left is for the fuel line. Ran a 45' on there to keep water from getting to the tank area.

Glued down the insulation up front and weighted it down to keep shape with sandbags.

Foamed in underneath the tank support as well glued some neoprene with 5200 for the tank
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/IMG_20871.JPG) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=14853&title=img-20871&cat=500)
Tank will go in over the weekend then finally the main deck can go on.

Looking good - nice clean work.

Tank finally in!
-
Been a while but I'm still going! Been a few changes since the last post. Not pictured, I had to replace the straps of h80 holding the tank down because I somehow fell and broke one of them lol. This time I went with 1.5 coosa so they will be a bit stronger now.
Also closed in the front anchor locker with a piece of 3/4 h80 and ran flexable pipe for the drains and then foam filled underneath.
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/IMG_2397.JPG) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=15325&title=img-2397&cat=500)
I also decided that I am just going to run the decks right on top of the rails so I had to raise the bulkheads to be even with the rails.
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data/500/IMG_27832.JPG) (http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=15326&title=img-27832&cat=500)
Now I am adding pieces of h80 to the fish box for insulation instead of that purple foam shiz. These will have 2 part foam poured underneath which will give about 4in thick or insulation in the deepest part. Once they are foam filled I will glass the tops to close them off.

Once that's all done I'll finally be ready to tile clad it all!

Looks great!! Are you going to have enough slope on the fuel line without any droop in it?

You talking about the fuel fill?
-
Yes. Maybe its the viewing angle but the fill hose seems to be lower in front of the tank and as it goes toward the side of the hull.

I think it will be alright but the hose might hold a bit of fuel in the low spot until I jump up on plane. But we will see soon hopefully!

Got the pieces foamed and glasses on top before I ran out of resin!
