    17ft Bayliner Capri bowrider project

    Shine a light from the back it will show you where the rear of the hull where it rides up on plane is straight or not. I had to put a jack under a couple places and block of wood. It slowly over a couple weeks time relaxed into a straight/flat surface. Waves in the hull up or down cause...

    17ft Bayliner Capri bowrider project

    No when the stringers are out. The hull flexes why do you think they saying brace it. It is moving in ways you dont want it to. Whatever mess it is in. Once the stringers go in that is where it is going to stay. So make sure it is straight before you put stringers in.

    Question about resin

    LOL watch boatworks epoxy is more brittle and broke in the test before poly. Poly don't stick to epoxy. Gel coat don't stick to epoxy. Once cured epoxy don't stick to epoxy. It is batting a thousand I see where it gets its reputation. It is for a quick fix sell and good luck in the future deals.

    Something is off. My 3 liter runs 4000 @ 35 mph with a 21 stainless prop. It goes faster but at 35 that is what it does.

    Foam Filling Hole Spacing?

    that is what i did tilted the boat as much as I could. It fills like soap suds in a bucket would. Here was mine there are 2 rows of holes because 2 sides of a stringer. And the video is how it acts expanding. I had a little much in the side and it was pushing out.
