Yes, so sorry for the mix-up. Tim and joe seem to be synonymous with coosa builds in this forum.
still a newbie... |

oops, I forgot to mention Joe. I think I got him confused with Tim. Sorry guys. Ive been devouring your treads and got a few mixed up. Joe's coosa stringer build is a bar well placed. I wonder if the coosa would support an 440 turbo arrangement?

You may be confusing the players as JoeinNY and I are about 4.5hrs apart.

Yes, Indeed! I lost some sleep last night reading Tim's treads. Loved them and learned a lot. His treads brought me back to my CNY lake where i grew up and where i still visit family. A great series of comments and advice from the CCF community. Cheers!

Ok, here is another idea....(slightly off topic)
Dust collection during the stringer demo and prep. Has anyone heard of grinding and sanding with water? I know this may sound obvious (gel coat wet sanding on the exterior) or even ironic, but the boat is a sort of bowl and the waste could be concentrated in a container for disposal with a simple filtering sys. also it might help with the itchy factor and clean-up could be managed on an ongoing basis. Any thoughts? |

Nothing wrong with dreaming Greg. Joe and Tim are the go to guys on Coosa builds. Not sure if Tim had a thread on his or not,I would be surprised if there wasn't. Someone will point you in the right direction.

Hi Guys,
Great quote on the crisp 20"s. I have less of those and more of the time and craftsmanship required no matter the materials. so If only to satisfy my curiosity i feel i need to at least dream of a world where everything is possible. Ha... |

I too feel Kevlar and carbon would be overkill. Glass and epoxy would be my choice plus less expensive. |

I think it would be overkill. Look how long they lasted originally with what CC used. Use quality conventional materials along with the Coosa and quality workmanship and you'd be good to go IMHO. Either that or just do the glass build up with nice crisp 20's

You could call US Composites, which sells such materials. They might be able to provide assistance.

Hey guys,
Im new to the group and have been loving the conversations through the forums. Thank you! I recently picked up an SN '80 with less than 1K hours, and considering the age, its in good shape. As most of the early fiberglass SN its likely that ill be doing a stringer job in the near future. With this in mind, Im currently doing some research into Coosa board as a substitute for doug fur stringers. I've read many forums and understand the different arguments pro and con. One topic i haven't seen is the one where modern materials like Coosa are used with carbon fiber or kevlar. Any thoughts in this direction? Additionally, I'm interested in fully documenting my rehab and recording the updates and improvements including pattern making for the stringers and related bulkheads. unless i can buy them form a reliable source. Any one know of such a thing? As I've worked in the design field for the past 25+ years, I'm computer capable. (CAD Sketch-up etc.) Any info would be greatly appreciated. |
