'76 22 Osprey re-build

[Que Pasa]

Ugg, just found three holes in the forward hull. Looks like the boats been on the rocks. Hidden under bottom paint with a patch job. In it pretty deep.

Bottom paint hides a lot of stuff

Got into it with the grinder today gonna take some pics, will post later. Can't really tell what I'm looking at besides it going through the gel. Dunno if this guy just was patch happy and I'm grinding original glass or if it went through all the way. The resin and glass seem pretty solid. Let the itching begin.

In this one you can see the patch above where I did the grinding


And this one you can see it below.

[RickK]

The top pic looks like there is a repair but the others look normal.  You may want to grind back along the keel, towards the front, an equal amount on each side and plan to put a layer or two of 1208 along the keel or maybe 6oz mat/cloth.

Welcome to the grinding brigade. 

[Que Pasa]

They are all repairs Rick, but I'm wondering if this guy chipped the gel with the trailer and then just slapped glass on there. Look at the middle pic you'll see a patch under the bottom paint as you go up the keel toward the middle of the pic.

[RickK]

It's hard to tell from the pics - if you're talking about the white, looks like gelcoat from here.

[Que Pasa]

No, you can see the raised edge under the bottom paint.

[Que Pasa]

You can see where the yellowing that is under the bottom paint in this one. that's what it looked like when I started grinding, well I'll know soon enough as the deck is coming off today.

[RickK]

Much easier to see when you draw arrows to it 

 


We'll be waiting to see what it looks like inside. 

[Que Pasa]

Well good news my floor is dry, bad news foam on starboard side is wet. Hate to cut out a good floor but gotta get the wet stuff out.

Need a little advise, when I construct my transom, do I put the cap on top of the transom edge, or do I tie into the the transom with the edge of the cap.

[RickK]

I laid the cap back on top of my transom and tied it in.
Are you asking if you need to cut the cap to get to the transom?

[Que Pasa]

 I am enclosing the transom and capping it. I think you didn't enclose yours if I'm not mistaken. I will be using wood and putting a slight crown in the transom cap. So do I attach the cap to the transom or vice vs.

Tie it in. you can either leave the core low enough to use as a shelf (I will go out to the shop and get a picture for you) or glue cleats to attach your cap into the hull.
