The stringer job is done on my SN and I was able to get alot of time on the water this summer. Everything seems to have turned out great so I thought I would post some pics. You all know what they look like completely assembled so here are some pics before carpet.

Joe,
What's the sheet material you used in the forward section of the floor? I know you got it cheap from a local supplier but did you ever determine what the composite is? ------------- /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 < |

just because something is done a certain way, it doesnt necessarily mean its the correct way of doing it,

| I will try to find out what kind of composite I used, I have to go by that supplier today and I will ask them. With all due respect Eric, please don't *************** in my wheaties here. I spent alot of time and money on this project and a simple "nice job" would have been sufficient. We don't need another argument on whether to foam or not. I'm not trying to be rude here. I run 1000lbs of ballast and as many people as I can fit on the boat so I wanted the foam. Thanks for everyone's help on this project, I will take pics with the carpet in a couple of days. |

Joe,
Nice job Is this your first rebuild ?? I debated to use something other than Plywood, however opted for the wood. At least with the composite it should never rot or absorb water. Please post some finished pictures. After all I am sure you are proud of it and everyone can appreciate a Nautique that will be around for many years :) Dennis ------------- Original Owner " Dennis" http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4855" rel="nofollow - 1982 Nautique |

| My supplier said the material is called Tivar. It is high density polyethylene. It worked out well. Not sure what it normally costs, my buddy gave it to me for next to nothing. |

Joe, That's what the material looked like but I wanted to make sure before I said anything. I'm worried!!! Low, medium, high and ultra high density polyethylenes don't bond/glue well no matter what the adhesive is. It's why it's used for glue containers! It's slippey stuff and I have to say it won't be long before the glass on top will start to come off. Have you put the carpet in yet? If not, I suggest getting a piece of ply CPES'd, epoxied and glassed in it's place. ------------- /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 < |

| I didn't know that pete, the boat has been assembled since mid july. We ran the crap out of it from july to December and now I have it apart again putting xpc strut bearings and tuning up eng. The epoxy seems to have bonded to that sheet but I guess only time will tell. If it delaminates I will cut it out and put ply back in. Of course I will document it here if it happens so nobody else makes the same mistake. The boat has taken on more water than I can stand to think about(carb issues in the sw fl rain) and everything is ok so far. |

Lots of opinions on foam - But when you add weight to wake board thats the best reason TO foam. ------------- - waterdog - http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=3896&sort=&pagenum=2&yrstart=1978&yrend=1978" rel="nofollow - 78 Ski Tique |

Andy, Adding weight for boarding really isn't a reason for foaming a hull. When water is used for ballast and if the boat goes down, then the ballast water has neutral buoyancy. The sacs plastic will actually float but won't do anything unless they are attached or in a locker. ------------- /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 < |
