Hi All,
I'm new here(great site BTW), looking for advice on removing the deck of my girl.
She has given too many good days on the water to give up now.
8 years ago I repaired and shot the boat's hull with Awl Grip, and now it seems time to do the stringers.

My STBD stringer is lifting at the transom going forward about 2 feet from what I can see.
I'm sure the entire deck should come off to do things correctly and inspect it all.

My question is where is the best place to cut(how close to the gunwall) while still leaving a platform to reinstall the deck?
Can I remove the entire deck from in front of the tank tub to the transom?

The transom and fuel tank will also be replace, but I'm pretty clear on that for now.
I've read a few threads here with some great pics, but really only want to cut once.
Any pics or advise would be very helpfull.

Thanks in advance,

Kedd

Guessing there is a pic of the boat there right?
Remove the duplicates of the [IMG].
Most of us are pic addicts and having the tag but not able to view will put a few of us over the edge. especially GRAN398

[kedd]

I really tried.
Keeps telling the image is more than 600 pixels high.
Did the resize and all.

Link will have to do for now.
I'll firgure out the other before the cutting begins.

Welcome aboard Kedd  :!:  :!:
When I replaced my sole I cut and left about 2" of sole around the perimeter.  Sounds like you only want to replace half the sole?

[kedd]

Hi Rick,

Thanks.

I think I want to leave the bow compartment area alone, but remove the rest of the sole.
The sole doesn't seem to be soft, but who knows what I'll find.

Did you reuse the any of the sole, or replace it all?
Do you have a thread with pics showing the work?
Do you think this work can be done on a roller trailer, or will the pressure be uneven where the rollers are?

Welcome aboard.  
Looks good.

Try this.
Read #5 carefully.

1: Go to your Bucket account (you need one to post photos on this forum), open and double click on a photo you have downloaded to the site.

2. Place cursor on the top left of photo, tool bar will appear, place cursor on EDIT then click on RESIZE

3. In a few moments a new window will open (call it the re-size window) with your photo and a tool bar above it.
Note the photo size in the tool bar.Since this site (Classic Aquasport) only limits posted photos to 800 pix wide X 600 pix long you must re-size it in order to post it. So.....

4. Photo Bucket has preset sizes you can use. They are in a 4:3 ratio and you will notice them in the toolbar just below the width measurement (1022px in this case). Also notice that you can manually enter the pixel size for both width and height. Also note that there are two selections you can make when manually selecting the number of pixels. Unless you're a photo genius
make sure you have the "proportion" button highlighted (little red dot to the left). This keeps your photo in the standard 4:3 ratio mentioned above. Why is this important? Under normal conditions, you hold the camera in the standard position and your photo is taken in the 4:3 ratio. Tilting the camera on end (like your sig pic) alters the width to height ratio. By leaving the proportion button highlighted, you can enter 600 px in the height box and the width will automatically change for a proper photo size.

5. This is where most members screw up. :o After you set the proper size you must do two (2) additional steps. First, click on the APPLY button on the right side of the tool box. Nothing much will seem to happen. Now scroll down and click on the
Replace Original button. It's located underneath and to the right of your photo. If you do not complete this step, you will never place the proper size photo on the Aqua site. This is the thing most members do not do.

6.After clicking on the Replace Original button, the screen will take a few moments to do its thing and a new window will magically appear. Scroll down and look to the left and you will notice several options for "sharing your photo". Click on the bottom one and notice how a little yellow box appears to the left saying "copied".

That's it, you're done.
Go back to your post and place your re-sized photo into the post where you want it by pushing "Ctrl + V" (at the same time) and it will appear as code. By previewing your post before submitting, you can check that you did everything correctly.

Try it. You'll like it.

Thanks,
I will try with some other photos later.

I did the sole replace/repair before this site existed (and maybe before digital cameras too).  The sole was shot and I went back with 5/8 plywood.  I don't see why you couldn't do it on a roller trailer - you're weight is not going to matter that much.

[kedd]

Thanks Rick,

I'm going to covert the trailer to bunk.
After reading a bit and being in the northeast, the winter storage on the rollers can't be good.
The bunk will give more support and a better platform to work on.

Have a couple of other questions, but I'll post pics first.
Figured out the posting thing after Capt. Bob stepped in.
