83' Bahner rebuild

« **on:** April 16, 2020, 08:50:22 PM »

Bought this 83 Bahner a year ago and thanks to alot of tech advice from Jordan Lockrey and helping me track down all the pieces and parts to put it back together I think this thing will be a beautiful boat again. This is my first time going this far into a build and it has been a huge learning experience and gives me huge sense of pride in taking on a project like this. This project is being done all in house with the help of course from Jordan Lockrey and my good friend Johnathan Terberg(hobbyshop customs). I am doing all of the woodwork, fiberglass, and teaching myself upholstery. Its just the start of this project alot nothings to do before its back on the water but how good it's going to be.

Awesome work!! I gotta ask, why were the new stingers sitting up high off the hull? Was that to transfer the hull contour on them for easy cutting, shaping, and fitting?

Can’t go much further into a build.

. I love the Bahner cruisers. Definitely looking forward to watching the build. I was wondering about the raised stringers also.

I made a jig to hold them up so I could transfer the shape of the hull to the bottom of the stringer due to the rise in the bow. The stringers are 2x6 at the transom and curve up to only 2 x 3 1\2 at the bow.

More to come this weekend hopefully going to install the bulkheads for under the bow and get the motor set. I am blessed to have a good job and work a 7 on 7 off schedule which helps when doing a build like this.

So some motor pics for this build. Not too bad looking inside! Looks barely used! Aside from the usual running rich soot in the chambers. Oh, and that 75lb intake is never going back on! Hahaha

Well they say if you work on it a little bit every day it will get done more progress pics. Made and glassed in a support for the oil and fuel filter which is also to beef up the ski tow point then gel coated the bilge and transom. Also frenshed up the transom adapter.
