    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    Sounds like I will be using wood joiners then. Thanks for the tips. Another floor question. What is everyone doing with the edges of the boards where it sits on the ribs? I think my factory boards had some type of bevel on the edges there, but I dont think I can easily get a similar angled...

    1976 22' SUS O/B "Hydration Break"

    I have not yet decided if I should go with strips of aluminum like the OEM floor joiners or if I should go with wood as I have seen some others do. I was planning on using a combo of aluminum square stock and some L pieces to brace across the stringers so they maintain a fixed width and don't...

    More pics from today's work. It was just warm enough that I felt like I could do some spray paint today, this splashwell looks better with a second coat of blue but will probably always show some spray lines. Maybe someday I will try to brush it out smoother but it's gonna get installed like...

    The grey stuff on the hull is regular jb weld with a tube or two of jb marineweld thrown in (white). I am using this to thinly skim/sand over any minor putting or corrosion that I found. The idea is that the aluminum brightener (acid) prep should kill any ongoing corrosion and then the jb weld...

    Also wow, these pics really show the nasty under the gunnels that I haven't cleaned up as good as I thought hahaha. Let me know if anyone has questions about what I am doing. I learned everything I think I need for this project from this forum and like the feedback. Thanks

    Been working the last two days and these updates are from this weekend. The pieces are starting to come together! Stringers also got Jb weld and they are riveted in. Using the Air compressor Pop Rivet gun was lots of fun and have these in solid. I riveted in some square Aluminum here to...

    Been working on the captains console. Pics from the last two weeks. Unfortunately this is a busy weekend for me so no big boat projects going on. Need to get some of my epoxy work done this fall before the temps drop for the winter and nothing will set up outside in the cold. Lastly I did a test...

    Also note that although I had previously talked about wanting to raise the hight of the Transom vs. the waterline, I am going to rebuild this using the original transom shape. I just think this makes the most sense from a timeline and difficulty standpoint.

    I am planning to repaint the splashwell. I confirmed that the PO used Rusto Sail Blue when he was working on the boat and I am generally going to stick to his same color scheme.

    My latest project has been to cleanup my splashwell so it's ready to go back in. Should have done less stripping and more sanding but I needed to keep reapplying to get at some silicone that the PO had gooped on. Confirmed that Citristrip much more effective than the Jasco stripper. Finished...

    Here we go got these glued up and a weekend of hot weather ahead of me. I got advice from my BIL who is a carpenter and his recommendations were to go () and to clamp it once I started adding weight so there was no shifting.

    Thanks, I was planning on going )( for sure. I think my plan is going to be find to find my flattest looking piece of concrete and glueing them on that with a bunch of weights on top to flatten everything out. Glue will be Titebond lll (not TBll or l) since it needs to be waterproof.

    S is for Starcraft SuperSport! The build is on! Still getting used to the metalwork. Carpentry is more familiar. Found out that my plywood developed a nice warp over the winter. Should have known better.I bet it would be more expensive now anyway so still counting myself ahead.

    Thanks for the advice, I will still plan to marinetex, prime and paint the inside of the transom skin where it will be in contact with the wood transom. But I will not prime and paint any of the bilge area. Stringers cleanup done. Going to practice marinetex on a few spots on these first New...

    Lots of surface area on these Stringers for the 22 footer. Next up for the hull is any pits on the shiny metal will get marine tex and then the hull will get Coat it. Then the transform and knee brace/bilge area will get etching primer and rusto inside and out.

    Been working with the nyalox cup brush. Pretty happy with what I am finding. I think I am going to remove the stringers too where before I had just planned to re rivet them while in place. Should I do coat it sealing first? Or should I skim corrosion with marinetex first? I am worried about...
