Post by: 2savage4you on December 31, 2007, 03:43:36 PM: I found this on another site, anybody try doing it like these guy's did? if the stringer case is still good, looks like a fast and cheap way of replacing some stringers ;D

Post by: GAWnCA on December 31, 2007, 03:50:13 PM: I wonder if you could do this and just splice in new wood where you take the bad wood out?

Post by: hotrod56cars on December 31, 2007, 03:59:36 PM: I'm pretty sure that The Chaz had his 1/4 stringers replaced at Eliminator Boats, or maybe it was Ultra Boats, either way... he paid $800 for both stringers.

I think that the way those stringers were replaced in the above post, might be a good way to get stringer location but I don't think it would keep the stringers perfectly verticle/parallel with each other. ???

Post by: Ralph Brunt on December 31, 2007, 04:34:49 PM: now i really dont know my ass from a hole in the ground, but the fiberglass is laid up on the stringer and the stringer is on three layers of fiberglass that is bonding to the hull. i just dont see how you can get a good bond the way they did it. but like i said i dont know shit, maybe oldrigger will chime in.

Post by: 2savage4you on December 31, 2007, 04:43:00 PM: OK this is my take on it, but i too dont know shit ;D

pour resin in the slot, install stringer, Clamp all around. Then after dried finish glassing ???

Maybe that was a quick fix to sell the boat ???

Good point Ralph, I see what you mean on bonding to the hull.

My way would just be laying glass over top of it while the stringer never bonds to the hull ;)

So there would be no strength what so ever. F that!

I was going to experiment with the Omega, but it looks to be a waist of $$ and time.

$800 From Ultra Custom Boats in El Cajon last year. Did leave a few drops of resin on my paint and laminate over dirt at the front edge though. The Stringers were good though.
