1975 Sanger SuperJet Project
« on: January 21, 2014, 07:09:43 PM »
Hey everyone I picked up my buddies Sanger today to help him get it going for the summer. We are going to be doing exterior, interior & motor. It has a Berkley Split Bowl and the boat is super sound structurally.

The idiot who owned the boat before ripped out the bow hook and instead of taking all the foam out of the bow to replace the hook, he cut on top of the bow and took the capped section out and replaced the hook and tried to patch it back up, but because he didn't glass the bottom of the cut piece when he put it back together it just keeps cracking the paint on the surface. Needless to say it's ugly so we are going to be removing all the foam and fixing it correctly.

Looking for some advice on whether to do a 2 stage base/clear or to attempt to roll n tip Flow Coat. 

I recently restored my boat doing subfloor,paint,interior and built a new motor, so I'm pretty confident in doing this but still love any and all advice.

How was it getting that foam out? My bow eye is loose and I've been dreading getting in there and removing all that foam.

It sucks so much, I just put on my respirator and grabbed my sawzall and went to town, I still have a little bit more to get out, but me being 6'2 250 it's a little snug under there haha. It'll be worth all the extra room for chairs and life jackets plus a sub for the sound system.

I'm the same size maybe a little bigger. Looks like it might be loose for awhile. Or at least until I can train the wife to use a sawzall.....lmao

2 words for the foam. Pressure washer. It makes for a bit of a mess but it cuts the foam up quick.

Yeah my buddy got the boat super cheap tho $2500 it was a turnkey with a 455olds that was really tired so we sold it before it went on its own, got $800 for it and it had the back 2 back benches which is a crappy seating config so it's all out now. We used the boat all last season with no issues but it's time for a chevy and some freshening up
