    I used the "pastry bag" trick today to fill the gap around the edges of my new transom. Worked like a charm, finished off with plastic spoon. Ready for some tabbing now! Thanks for the videos.

    you have some really good tips! thanks a lot. I'm doing another boat this week. I finished that glastron cv16 and now I'm doing a glastron jetflite 143. only took one day to get the cap off on this one! tomorrow I remove stringers, transom and floor. I've done stringers on a mastercraft 19' and the floor and balsa core on a hydrostream in the last few months. and a few more aluminum boat floors and a sea ray floor to name a few. its easy after some practice!

    G'day mate, welcome back to the project. I started watching your vids 'How to' about 2 months ago, I'm now putting the floor in today. Thanks for the tips, man I wish I knew about the putty bag, I got it everywhere spooning the putty in! Lol

    • @jmink
      @jmink  9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Mick Black thanks for the comments! The putty bag is the most useful thing in this video! I've used putty with and without the bag and you're right it gets everywhere spooning it in. I'm glad you were able to get the floor in your boat, that's close to happening with my project. Thanks for watching!

    Just as a [Tip] always coat (Resin Pre-coat allow to dry) Porous materials like wood so there is minimal Absorption of Resin. This will give a better adhesion to the glass fabric, and help prevent separation from woods, metals, and plastics down the road... just a thought

    Just a note on the patches, if you can see white sections in the patches then you have either air pockets or the fibre is not saturated with resin, these will be weak spots, you need a hard roller to move the air out of the matting.

    Why the little styrofoam squares underneath the stringer's? I have a 1964 Crestliner Challenger open skiff that I want to put streamers down lay a floor in. I have a for sale on top of the fiberglass bench seats but that's not going to last. Plus I would like to sit lower in the boat for more stability.

    Hey Josh. Thanks for sharing your step by step process on restoring your Glastron. I just picked up a '75 V156 and I'm beginning the tear down of the floor. I'm just curious, could you have not ground down the remaining fiberglass after cutting it out for the stringers and then you could have used it as a slot to hold the new ones? Maybe it might have made the process a bit quicker? Thanks again for all of your great content!

    • @jmink
      @jmink  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Dan! First of all, thank you for watching, and good luck with your boat project. To answer the question on the stringer/fiberglass work, I had some shotty fiberglass from the factory around the original stringers and I didn't want to keep any of it. In theory, your idea is a good one, but it just wasn't something I would have done with my boat.

  • @Mr2001cr250
    @Mr2001cr250 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think I just figured it out. It's to keep the stringer from being pushed all the way down to the hull to keep some putty under the stringer.

    • @jmink
      @jmink  8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +Mr2001cr250 you got it, that's basically the same thing I came across when researching back before I did that install.

  • @DopamineBoating

    What did you use for your stringers? A treated 2x6 or did you use something else ?

  • @Lunatic416
    @Lunatic416 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm still not sure on how to determine proper stringer height. Do you have to determine height factoring some kind of putty effect, and/ or, add an additional 1/4" for the spacers?

    • @jmink
      @jmink  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was able to use my existing stringers to determine the height. But, if you don't have old stringers to make a template from you will need to find the line of the deck on the inside of the hull (assuming the deck is out of the boat already). Then take a board/or string, set it at that deck height, then measure down from the string to the hull at the different points. Also you'll do this at multiple points moving forward from the stern to the bow of the boat. Then you can take a board and transfer those measurements to it and it should reveal the shape of the stringer. The measurement of the spacers, plus layers of fiberglass will only come into play if your deck is going to come in contact with a pre-existing structure/obstacle.

    • @jmink
      @jmink  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +casey murray if I don't leave the garage door open while working, I open it as soon as the fiberglass kicks off so that I don't stink up the house. The smell gets in a little bit, but it dissipates quickly.

  • @ManSingh-hu8ux
    @ManSingh-hu8ux 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Josh, I am doing similar with my little 13 ft run about. How do you keep the boat in the correct shape whilst you are glassing in the new stringers? I am thinking of blocking the boat up to keep it level? What was the reason you did it the way you did? Just curious to work out the best method. I am worried about the boat warping while I am glassing it in, or glassing it into a shape that is warped. Thanks in advance.

  • @Mr2001cr250
    @Mr2001cr250 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi there, I'd like to know the reason for using the foam squares under the stringers. Are they necessary? Is there a forum on iboats that explains why to use them? Anyway great vids and thanks.

    • @josiahnelson666
      @josiahnelson666 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Negative.
      " most of the research that I did before doing this said that you need to shim the stringers to keep them up off of the hull. Having the stringer sitting directly against the hull can cause "hard spots" and create stress points in certain parts of the hull. So if you put the foam squares in your fiberglass putty or whatever bedding compound you choose to use, you will reduce this risk." - jmlnk

  • @lunicvs
    @lunicvs 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    what type of the wood you have used for new stringers and what sizes?

    • @lunicvs
      @lunicvs 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Vladislav Simonenko No need to answer. Douglas Fir straight grain is most recommended one. I was able to salvage one larger stringer so i will be able to recreate it
      Keep posting videos on your project progress! Keeps many people inspired.

    • @jmink
      @jmink  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Vladislav Simonenko glad you were able to salvage a stringer! It is much easier to recreate from an old one. Sorry I haven't had the chance to get you those measurements.

  • @johnsmith-sw7ii
    @johnsmith-sw7ii 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video series so far. You didnt mention what kind of wood you used for the stringers and if they were pressure treated. Also, wondering why you didnt coat the stringers with resin before setting them.

    • @jmink
      @jmink  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi John, thanks for the feedback. Yeah this question has come up in the comments before, but I don't recall mentioning in the videos. I used untreated pine from my local lumberyard for the stringers. I honestly don't recall the thickness at this point, but I used my old stringers to find that number before ordering. Also I didn't soak the stringers in resin because I knew once I had them bedded, that I was going to apply resin to them before wrapping with glass. Thanks for watching!

  • @JesusandDee
    @JesusandDee 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hey man......you saved my bacon...lol. I am cutting out rotten stringers on a 19ft Chris Craft Concept. This has been nearly a 4 year project. Inboard/ Outboard, so I upgraded the engine from a 5.0 liter, OMC setup, to a Mercruiser 5.7 Hi Performance. Got it actually running, ....took it out here ( Fort Lauderdale, Florida ) about 5 miles from shore. This is only 2 1/2 weeks ago. She ran great. So, I am thinking I am home free,....right? Just have to replace to soft rotten wood on the deck. WRONG !!!! Dude, the more I cut the decking out, and started seeing the rotten stringers, I was like .....what the #$%^*&() . Fast forward, now I have cut out a fair amount of the stringers .....and take a wild guess. I cut through the hull.....not once, but two times. I literally wanted to cry. But, seeing what a simple fix it is, by watching you helped me out more than you can imagine. Thanks again, excellent work on the Blogs, they are amazing quality, nice work.

      Hey JesusandDee glad to hear my videos helped out. I was pretty mad when I put the holes in my hull, but I did what I could to correct it. I think it's pretty cool that you upgraded your engine! Sorry to hear you found rotten stringers, but hang in there. You'll get through the rebuild. Thanks for the compliments; I really appreciate them!

  • @tommyhonker445
    @tommyhonker445 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    i have some to ask im doing my stringers on my 89 procaft are the stringers have to be placed right on the hull of the boat or what or do i have to put something under them

    • @jmink
      @jmink  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I put foam squares beneath the stringers. I laid down my putty then pushed the squares into the putty and then sat or "bedded" my stringers. Some people don't believe in doing this, but others like myself do this to keep the stringers from sitting directly on the hull.

  • @Patrickmetaldetecting
    @Patrickmetaldetecting 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    What was the meaning of putting in the small pieces of foam

    • @jmink
      @jmink  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They were used as spacers. Controversial subject if you get to looking into stringer bedding on the internet. Some don't believe in it, others like myself, think that getting the stringers up off the hull is the way to go. Bedding with the spacers allows the compound/putty to mold around the board better and in theory helps alleviate some stress that would come from stringer board being directly melded to the hull.

  • @J_L_96
    @J_L_96 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I just recently purchased a 17 foot 1975 Glastron v178 on the cheap, and am having to replace the stringers, transom and the floor. I am really enjoying your videos and am learning quite a bit as a first timer. There are very few remnants of the factory work. How many bulkheads would the boat typically have? Any suggestions for removing the transom without removing the cap?

    • @jmink
      @jmink  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jacob Erdman congratulations on your purchase! In my boat it was going to be next to impossible to remove and install the transom without removing the cap. As far as removing it without the cap off, it could be possible by cutting it into pieces. I suggest getting the floor out first if you haven't already so you can see what you are dealing with. Good luck on the project!

    What kind of fiber glass putty did you use on the stringers?

    • @jmink
      @jmink  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Nathan Bennett I mixed up 435 Polyester Resin with Hardener, Cabosil, and 1/4" Chopped Strand Fibers.

    • @nathanbennett5944
      @nathanbennett5944 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks you. How did you come up with your putty recipe? I am not questioning your recipe just better understanding the process.

    • @jmink
      @jmink  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Nathan Bennett the recipe isn't something I came up with myself, but it's something I learned after doing some research. You just need to make sure you add your hardener to the resin first, then your fibers, and last your cabosil. I always count to 120 in my head while I am stirring in the hardener to make sure I get it mixed up enough. On one of my first batches I added too many fibers and it was harder to work with the putty when spreading it. Also back to the cabosil I always eyeball it and just keep adding it scoop by scoop until the consistency gets to be like icing.

    • @jmink
      @jmink  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Maxim Willwerth it was untreated pine from my local lumberyard. I read too many posts about treated needing time to dry before putting fiberglass over it. Something to keep in mind when deciding what to use. Hope this helps.

    • @Mbwillwerth777

    • @jmink
      @jmink  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Maxim Willwerth you're welcome, glad I can help in some capacity. My advice for stringers is like I showed in the video, use the "pastry" bag method of applying the fiberglass putty for bedding the stringers. Also apply resin to the stringer and the fiberglass mat before laying the mat over the stringer. Finally don't be timid just jump in and knock it out! Good luck with everything.

    Why did you use the foam ?

    • @jmink
      @jmink  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I used the foam in the fiberglass putty/bedding of the stringers to lift the stringers up off the hull.

    • @adrienjoinette8913
      @adrienjoinette8913 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      why is it necessary to do that, does it add strength or better covers the stringers?

    • @jmink
      @jmink  8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      +Adrien Joinette most of the research that I did before doing this said that you need to shim the stringers to keep them up off of the hull. Having the stringer sitting directly against the hull can cause "hard spots" and create stress points in certain parts of the hull.
