Hello I have never used forums to help me with a project so far. S if anyone can help me please do so. I have recently purchased a 1974 ski nautique. It is just the hull. I have baught all the parts for the boat to go back together but there is one BIG problem that in the way. I have no idea what the stringer pattern is suppose to be. I do not know how the engine is suppose to sit down in the stringer craddle. If anyone knows the measurment cut out please please help me.
Thanks Clark Slaten ------------- Thanks Clark Slaten |

Clark,
You need to read a thread titled UK's 78SN rebuild. He has put up some dimensions for his 78 SN which should be the same as your 74. It is on page #3. It is in this Boat Maintenance Section. He goes by uk1979, but he has several boats. I think he has a 78 and a 79. He is in England, and the measurements are in metric, but they can be converted. I hope this helps, Donald |

Fast work there Clark and great to see anther 70s SN saved, you probably know its best to level and support the hull off the bunks on the trailer to keep the hull the right shape.

What do I secrure the stringers to the hull with??? ------------- Thanks Clark Slaten |
Posted By: 79TiqueRebuild
Date Posted: January-03-2010 at 1:42am
| Clark What I did is wiped the spot with acetone. Then cut strips of chopped mat the same width as the stringer and sandwiched that between a mixture of epoxy,cabosil,milled fiber and a little talc. I found the thicker the mixture almost like peanut butter,the easier it was to get it to stay in. I then weighted the stringers down with some sandbags and braced with some wood and clamps after leveling so nothing moved till it setup. Hope this helps. Monty |

Looking pretty good. Keep throwing the questions out. All the guys on here are really helpful and knowledgable. If I can help, let me know. I'm up in Owasso, and doing a rebuild on my Supra over the winter. I'm about one step ahead of you...I already have one new stringer back in and working on the second. If you want to stop by and pick my brain, or physically see the progress, let me know. You and I can drink a Coors Light and look into my boat just like you are in that picture. ;-) |

Posted By: TRBenj
Date Posted: January-12-2010 at 4:44pm
Sure, its possible- but that all depends on your hull, engine tune and prop. We had a few 2nd gen SN's at Lake George this year hitting 49mph on the gps and both engines were essentially stock. One had an Acme 540, the other had the stock 13x13, if I remember correctly. ------------- |

Clark each hull comes out of the mold differently,some are "fast" some are "slow". I think I have a slow one  Someday I hope to hang it in the garage and sand and polish the bottom and see if it helps.

540 is an acme prop. Polishing the bottom of the boat might have a reverse effect. Have you ever seen the bottom of a racing sailboat? Some look like a golf ball.

Inspect all the below deck hardware and hull fastening before you consider this. CC went real cheap in this area are we've see lots of rusted out hardware. Also, since you have stringer rot, there is a chance the wood for the ring anchors in the hull have rot as well. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

In some other threads, we have been talking about using LVL (microlam) as a alternate in areas where the Doug Fir is hard to get.
The glass and resin is laid down over the foam after it's leveled off.

Date Posted: January-19-2010 at 9:10am
Clark, Are you thinking a T&G fir floor like porch decking? If so, you are asking for problems. I thought you were going is restore this boat? Fir plywood is used on a no foam job but of course then the floor covering is put down over it. Weren't you going to go look for the vinyl? Also, resin by itself is very weak. It simply is the adhesive for the glass which is the strength of the system. I suggest at a minimum, a 4oz. glass cloth should be put down on the plywood. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Well I think the hard wood floor look in alot of jet/speed boats looks really cool. I do want to restore the boat. At the same time I want to put my own spin on things. The boat that I am restoring will never be worth what I have in it so why sell it? I think this is a job that I can customize this boat just for me needs and what I like. If this was something that I would want to sell in a few years I would go back with the original everything I could get my hands on or make. That is not the case. The boat new was like 5K. I paid 4K for the boat and the floor is 1K, new engine 2K, misc. 1K, tower 1K, stereo 1K. What Im getting at is there is no reason for selling. This can be a boat that my kids can enjoy when I upgrade. ------------- Thanks Clark Slaten |

Pete will remind you that by definition, a restoration restores the factory appearance. Deviating from it doesnt fit the description! Personally, I think the wood floored look is silly- but to each their own. I can tell you that I have never regretted returning something to its factory look. Other times, I have deviated and have regretted it later. Thats not always the case, but its certainly a greater possibility- or maybe its just me. I cant tell you how many times Ive looked at used boats and just had to shake my head at what the previous owner had done to it. I would MUCH rather they left it in its factory condition (even if it would have been in rougher shape because of it) than to change it by butchering it. It makes it harder to bring it back and diminishes its value- at least to me. ------------- |

Why not rebuild as it should be then fit something like this over the floor,picked these samples up at the boat show, not real wood but a vinyl that slots together which is stuck to the floor, at a stretch you could say its original just not the same print

Clark:
Remember, the Paragon's (94's) had Teak flooring (not carpet over fiberglass).....so it HAS been done (and from factory). After pricing Teak, I wouldn't recommend it, but I'm sure there is a creative alternative (jotoba, Ipe, etc). Maybe Quinner or another member familiar with Paragon's could chime in on how it was done........ Looks GREAT in brochures (but that is a different boat) ... don't really know of it's actual attachment application....  ------------- https://tinyurl.com/y6t5e3bu" rel="nofollow - 04 Air206 http://tinyurl.com/9urzgls" rel="nofollow - 91 Barefoot 78 SkiTiq |

I guess we would have to ask Pete! I would suspect that things of that nature that cant be inspected (so they appear as they would have from the factory on the outside) would still be considered acceptable as a "factory restoration". I dont believe ACBS judges frown upon internal engine modifications either. ------------- |
Posted By: 8122pbrainard
Date Posted: January-20-2010 at 3:49pm
Modern materials such as adhesives are not frowned on and infact encouraged. A good example would be using 5200 for a wood boat restore. On a double plank bottom, 1 point extra is given for original construction IE: still double planked , 5200 instead of canvas/bedding compound ok and no fiberglass and certainly not a single layer glassed bottom. With a glass boat, the same would hold true if a composite is used for a stringer job. Engine mods are cool as long as the external appearance is the same. Yes, it's sort of a rule that's not discusssed too much. If hidden it's not a problem. OK, back to the floor- flake board with a 1/4" of bar top resin poured on top of it?? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

The wood floors in the Paragon looked awesome and were so easy to clean, unlike carpet. As Chris mentioned above, the mahogony work was all done outside the factory in upstate NY somewhere as was the top coat of the gel work (all Paragons where built white at the factory and sprayed later with color), don't recall if that included the teak floors.

Looks like you remembered correctly there Steve. From Quinners pictures, it looks like the teak floor is screwed down and filled. ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique 1966 Barracuda |

This in a synthetic product but looks very good. I recently installed a good bit of it in the basement.

I have interlocking foam floor mats (2x2's) in my wood boat which are nice because you can take them out to let the boat dry. Frank |

Never mind on the wood floors. I sanded on the floor today getting ready to add stringers and I'm ready for this crap to be over with. I wil be putting carpet back over the floor and air brushing the side walls. ------------- Thanks Clark Slaten |

Why not just carpet the side walls too? ------------- |

Well I have already sanded the side walls down so the could be painted. I just think it would be neat. I'm going to make it look kind of like a affliction shirt. ------------- Thanks Clark Slaten |

Should to stringer template I got fro Roder "UK79" be the same template for my 1974 Ski Nautique? They did not match up the same. ------------- Thanks Clark Slaten |

Clark had a look at your old stringers you show and your right,there is a difference along the top,yours look straight around the engine mounts and has only a small drain hole though the stringers,the hull shape should be around the same they must of updated them between 74 to 78 ------------- Lets have a go 56 Starflite 77 SN 78 SN 80 BFN |

Anyone know what year they changed the stringer pattern between 74-78? ------------- Thanks Clark Slaten |

only difference I believe is where the motor mounts are it's notched on the later models due to a new style engine mount verses being flat and a wood wedge was used in the early days but from 74-81 the hull is the same other than minor style changes, windshield's, scoops, interior, gauges but no changes to the bottom but the top cap was changed in '79 so the speedo's wheren't mounted to a piece of plexiglass. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

Where can I find a later 70's hood scoop? ------------- Thanks Clark Slaten |

Clark, You're asking for a "later 70's" hood scoop? Do you mean the wider flatter version used on 77's and 78's that were upholstered? Your 74 has the taller narrower one. Ether way, both were to my knowledge made by CC and the mold is long gone. Your best bet is to post in the "parts wanted" section and see if something turns up. Many have resorted to pulling their own mold off a good vent and then laying up new ones. Why do you want to change the one you have? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Do you have a picture of the scoop you are trying to match? I have a mold for the rear scoop but have not had the time to make any yet. Is what you have usable to make a mold from?

Frank, Here's Clarks picture he posted in this thread showing his scoop. Looks fine to me but it sounds like he want's the 77-78 that's wider and flater!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Yes I am wanting the wider and flatter scoop. The scoop on my boat looks as if someone stepped on it at one time. There is a pretty good crack in the front. Nothing a little fiberglass cant fix. I think the 77-78 scoop loks alot better. ------------- Thanks Clark Slaten |

I thought Woody was working on making one of these available about a year ago. Not sure if it the style you have or the one you want. ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

Won't you have to drill new holes and fill the old ones to make this conversion? ------------- |

Is Clark's 74 SN hood scoop the same as a 73 skier scoop? If so I will take it off your hands if you get that replacement you want. ------------- "working on these old boats may not be cost effective but as it shows its what it brings into your life that matters" -Roger http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4897" rel="nofollow - 1973 Skier |
