Gelcoat / Paint / Fireberglass Repair / Re: Vacuum Bagging

 The information I have is it's a Liberty custom sprint . This particular hull has no HIN (hull identification number). I was told this is because it was made only to race requiring on CF numbers to gain access to public waterways. Made between 1976-79. It’s a four-stringer boat, made to circle race. The hull weights 490 lbs. with no gear in it. If I can answer any other questions, please ask. schick

I have 3 sets of Headers, and T/T exhaust for sale all BBC;
-A pair of Bassett Dry stacks, the chrome is ok-will shine if you spend the time. they have a port for crankcase vacuum on each. The metal after bolt flange is good, this is where my Sanderson’s rotted threw. There's three small dings in the pipes. Will email pic's upon request $150.obo
-A pair of Rewarder wet stack, the chrome is good, I shined on 1 for 20 minutes, it cleaned up very nice. The metal is thick, on holes. This set has 3 small scrapes on the odd bank. Will email pic's upon request. $195.obo
-A pair of Zoomies wet stack WITHOUT injection lines. The pipes are black and in good shape. The even bank has a slight twist in it. I don't believe it will hurt flow or performance. Will email pic's upon request $120.0bo
-A pair of BBC Harden Marine exhaust logs with snails, hose, and transom tips. The Logs are coated black the snails are polished aluminum as are the tips. The snails have a good shine, the tips need some work. Will send pictures upon request. $250.0bo

I’m still working on the process, trying to collect information. I have an idea of what I’m going to do, but haven’t had any one tell me if it’s right or wrong. I haven’t had much input at all, which is kind of scaring me.
 I have a friend who owns a boat repair shop, he use to race a alcohol drag boat called Hydrophobia. I’ll have him look it over.
 The big concern I have is, if the stringers are super stiff and rigid, when the boat flexes, if the stringers do not will they separate from each other, (stringers away from the boat). This is my concern about using carbon fiber. If you ARE looking for the stringers to be super stiff and rigid then this should not be a problem. I’m still looking for the answer.
 I was thinking wet lay-up the stringers, and vacuum bag as many times as needed. Then after fitting the stringers to the boat, wet lay-up and vacuum bag them into the hull, as many times as needed.
 Any and all input appreciated. Thanks, schick

 They are badly delaminated. I believe the two outer stringers are rotted, they flex in a radius when you push on them. If that makes sense.

 Thanks for the imput. I was thinking, I'm going to vacuum bag the stringers then install them into the boat with vacuum. Thanks for your time, schick

Gelcoat / Paint / Fireberglass Repair / Re: Spyder cracks in Gel Coat
« on: November 02, 2008, 09:00:26 AM »
 It is my experience the cracks will come back, especially if the boat has a very light lay-up. I had a 350lb Central Marine Renegade. Half of the cracks I ground out and fiber glassed over with roving, the other half the fiberglass shop that painted the boat repaired. In the 80 mile trek from paint shop to home almost all of the cracks came back, mostly around the corners of the tub. This was with nothing in the boat, just the flex of the hull on the trailer. Look at it this way, “It means you have a very light rig, not everyone has them for a reason”.

 Hello, I have a project boat. I am going to replace the stringers in. The boat is very light, and I would like to add as much strength as possible. I am looking for information, past experience, and knowledge on vacuum bagging. Pro’s and con’s. I am also interested in use of carbon fiber in the process. Any and all information would be great. Thanks for your time.
