    1995 Crownline 202BR Restore

    Not that I'm an expert but I've been reasonably impressed by the original build quality of the boat. There are some shortcuts I could see here and there but improper care clearly had a huge part in the outcome.

    1995 Crownline 202BR Restore

    I'll look into the die grinder. Looks like a workable solution. Finished with all the big grinding this weekend. Still need to hit a few small spots, corners/edges with a dremel and get that top area above the transom smoothed out. Also need to cleanup all the residue and dust. It's hard to...

    1995 Crownline 202BR Restore

    Question about the sidewall. The original setup for this boat had a layer of spongy foam glued to the sidewalls which were covered by a sheet of vinyl which was stapled to a wooden piece that went along the side of the boat just about where the top cap attaches to the hull (out of site with the...

    1995 Crownline 202BR Restore

    Saturday is grinding day so more progress today. Finished with 95% of the floor. Just a few places that I couldn't see when it was covered in dust. Also got the deck lip ground away and up the sidewall. Ground down around the transom lip well. At the top of the transom, I can only get a few...

    1995 Crownline 202BR Restore

    More progress... Removed the rotted piece running along the bottom (which I will replace) and cut out the lip of decking. Still need to finishing grinding some of the bottom to make sure I have a good surface for the new glass. Then will grind out the deck lip and sides.

    Question... I have this "stringer" running along the keel starting from the ski locker to nearly the bow. I've seen other similar boats that don't appear to have this. The floor of the ski locker was resting on top of this "stringer" but the front part was just there by itself. Is this a...

    Yep, Tyvek suit and a full face 3M respirator. It's a sweat factory but works!

    1995 Crownline 202BR Restore

    Initial exploration.... Ski locker floor... it was like ash. Between bilge and gas tank I ended up cutting out the fiberglass section in the front so I could get to the decking below. Current status I'm currently grinding away on the fiberglass. It seems the main water issue was...

    1995 Crownline 202BR Restore

    I came into possession of this boat 2 years ago. It had a spongy deck in several spots but the engine ran well. After some TLC on the stern drive, I was able to use it for a summer without major issues. I knew the spongy deck was a ticking time bomb so decided to bite the bullet and start...

    1995 Crownline 202 BR refurb..

    Hauger, I'm in the process of restoring the exact same boat that also has a rotted decking. How did you handle the rotted engine mounts? Similar to yours (but maybe worse), mine are mush and need to be replaced. Did you have to pull the engine or were you able to somehow replace them without...
