Strip both layers, discard inner layer and apply a 3M 5200 bottom (a layer of marine ply over the frames, with existing/renewed solid planking over top). Should I start on the top, or flip it and deal with the bottom first?Īs far as the bottom goes, I have been researching repairs/redoes, and it looks I have a few choices: So my question(s) - and please excuse any incorrect terminology - still learning: I've had it surveyed and the review was quite positive: It is all original (has been re-screwed), not rotten inside, decks need to be redone, entire boat re-screwed(!), some damage to the keel at the bow, bottom looks OK. The boat has been outside, under a carport style cover, since the 80's when the engine was removed due to excessive smoke. The Hercules motor+transmission is out and I am in the process of rebuilding it - I have considerable classic auto experience, but no wooden boat experience. I'm the new owner of a slightly-sad 17' 1948 Chris Craft Runabout. To advertise, take a look at WoodenBoat Advertising, or use your Google Adwords account if you want to advertise on the Forum.
