    1990 Bayliner Capri 17' Full restoration

    Re: 1990 Bayliner Capri 17' Full restoration Well, I have all the wood out of the boat. There was alot of rot! Next is all the grinding to clean glass. So my next thoughts are that I can either go ahead and order all the supplies to put in new wood and fiberglass or I can flip the boat upside...

    1990 Bayliner Capri 17' Full restoration

    Re: 1990 Bayliner Capri 17' Full restoration Here are a few more photos of the deck and stringer removal. I only have an hour or two every now and then to work on it, and man it takes a long time to get all this removed carefully.

    Re: 1990 Bayliner Capri 17' Full restoration Question, I am having a hard time removing the steering cable. I removed the steering arm and released the locknut and slid it back (see arrow in picture), but I can't get the cable to pull back and out. Should I just finagle it out while lifting the...

    1990 Bayliner Capri 17' Full restoration

    Re: 1990 Bayliner Capri 17' Full restoration Thanks for the link! Right now I have more ideas than actions. If I do go with the back seat idea, I will need to relocate the gas tank. I used 2 removable tanks located in front of the transom and they were covered by a canvas curtain. I was...

    1990 Bayliner Capri 17' Full restoration

    Well. I have been reading how-to's on this site for the past two weeks and today I started the breakdown of my boat.
