Good choice, I'm not sure how much a new hull cost but if your interested I'd call Ervin Capps . http://phoenixfiberglass.net/ The benifit you get with a new hull like this, is the fact that they have been through the R & D and the boats comes out of the mold with the bottom mods you would otherwise have to add on to an older hull.

Looks like a simple fix to me. You had some glass de-laminate. Grind it back to a 3" taper (feather) and then glass it back in. Someone liked that parquet flooring/counter top stuff.

so even if i do fix the floor& stringers is it safe to put 1000 hp(+or-) to it

It looks like some holes have been filled. If they were done right, with wooden dowels and epoxy, I don't see why they wouldn't hold up. I have read where some of the meanest drag boats have balsa stringers and look at the HP they pump out. The distribution of the weight and torque is spread out.

One other thing you might consider if you are worried about it, once you have the area repaired, put in a layer of glass mat the length of the motor mounting area and then add a layer of cloth just so it's easier to smooth out.

i think you are close to havasu rite? i would take it over to d'cucci's shop and have them look at it. i'm sure it can be repaired but at what cost i dont know. sorry not much help $:-\$

« **Reply #165 on:** August 10, 2008, 06:59:24 AM »

well it was explained to me like this even if i do fix the floor i would be applying new fiberglass to old fiberglass and it would never bond correctly is this true? and even if i were to fix the floor the actual structure of the boat is a 1984 is that something to worry about ? ive considered fixing the floor but with all that work done and new paint im not to far from what a new one would cost and i think the buyer is on his way here now

All that work and you're going to bail out of it now? The floor isn't that big of a deal. One day's work and you're done. Oh well, if you're gonna sell it, you'll have a new project to start on.

I didnt want to bail out but what point do you say enough is enough

Hey 82 daytona, that damage does not look real bad to me, I think (without seeing it up close) I would go ahead with the rebuild and splice in a section of the stringer, dig into the parque balsa and just finish it up, the stringer does not look to me to have been super high quality materials to start with (hard to tell from just a picture), if epoxy resins are used the bond that can be obtained is incredibly strong, if there are any doubts, my buddy just replced a major section of a delaminated bottom on his flatbottom and recently ran 118 MPH without issue, he vacuum bagged the bottom and used epoxy resins designed for lamination, much stronger than polyester resins.

If your engine mounts are rail type, the torque goes through the entire length of the rails, if not I would go that way, seems cheaper than starting over and I think in the end you will have a better boat...Again, may be completely full of shit, right to the top....
