1977 22 -2 rebuild

[northfork]

I have been adding glass to the inside of the hull. I made up my templates for the bulkheads and have to pull the trigger soon on a fuel tank.
Not much fun glassing with 90 degree temps. Now I know how the Fla guys feel.

Don't leave ya much time does it.

Finished glassing the rest of the hull interior. On to the knees and bulkheads.

Nice progress

how was your foam?

[northfork]

Foam is all dry. I drilled a few holes at the base of each stringer and all was dry. I am still thinking about removing the old foam. The stringers are in great shape and not sure if I will. I am working on the knees this weekend. I have some Coosa left over from the transom. Are you ordering your foam and other supplies or do you have a locale place to pick up? Have fun grinding this weekend.

Cap is all ground out and ready for glassing. I went out and purchased some Divinycell for the core. Also got a price on the corecell for my floor. One step at a time. The cap wasn't to bad to grind, got it done in an hour and a half.

Placed order for fuel tank today. Should be ready in two weeks. I added 12" in length to the original.
Anybody have a 22-2 re-build or in the process in the Punta Gorda, Fla area. I'm going to be there at the end of the month
and would like to see what other guys have done.

Picked up new tank and had to see what it would look like.
Slow going at the end of the summer.

Knees all tabbed in and port side is complete.

Nice 
Are the knees tied into the stringers going forward? Hard to tell if you lam'd some cloth onto the knees and main parts of the stringers a ways up the stringers. I think the goal is to make everything "one" - the transom is part of the hull sides, bottom and the stringers.  When you put pressure on the transom, as in nail the throttle, you want everything tied together to be part of the push. If you put knees in, make them all part of the transom, bottom and stringers.
My $.02 (Of course I have been known for "overkill"    )

Looks good North and listen to Rick I think he's on it.  Tie it all together.

[northfork]

Yes knees extend into the stringer and all tied together. As I raise the top of the stringer that will be built into the knees as well.
The floor deck will probably add the most support when all is said and done. Deck to stinger and fully engaged the transom and knees. The way the boat was built originally the stringers stepped down at the transom so most support can from floor deck. We are all doing overkill it seems. Which is good.

[Que Pasa]

What will you use on top of the stringers?

[northfork]

I'm going to use 2 layers of 3/4" marine plywood and wrap with glass.
