Re: Radon Transom Replacement

Excellent point about stringer quantity and book rules. Hmm, if I do 1 I could just do 3 :-)

here’s an interesting one. This is the next evolution of my hull, it’s referred to as a triple chine hull. This is a 26x8, looks to be original guts.

Re: Radon Transom Replacement

Sole sits on top the chine logs and some people do supports placed on top of the stringers to support the sole. Some have some frames or beams to support the sole.

Re: Radon Transom Replacement

Ah, I googled it. What you see is the molded hull but could be there to do that. I’m starting to see the most basic whys of how boats are designed. So the issue I have is that the pros rebuilding and converting them to outboards only use the two big center stringers…. And……I consulted the fancy new ...

Re: Radon Transom Replacement

What’s a chine log?

Re: Radon Transom Replacement

Thanks! So my next “my brain is just spinning in circles” thought; though I probably don’t need it, but I was going to add it anyway, it turns out I can’t fit a second stringer between my big stringer and the chine. I could but then I’d have no room for fuel tanks, the tanks would have to sit on tha...

Re: Radon Transom Replacement

Look what I got! Better late than never I guess. image.jpg I like it. I’ve been having fun making an excel sheet… I see that most things that were original on my boat are built to that schedule plus all the additions for workboats and such. The additional work that was done, and I removed, was just ...

Re: Radon Transom Replacement

Changing topics a little, when do I put the limber holes/drainage holes in the stringers? Before or after I tab them in? I have some round fiberglass tube I was thinking of using. I can over drill a bit and bed those in to seal the wood. I’m not sure if that’s a good idea. Suggestions or comments pl...

Re: Radon Transom Replacement

Thanks guys. Well this is the kind of garbage I am dealing with in the demolition. You all haven’t talked about when it’s appropriate to pour in pools of plain resin….😜. It’s really difficult to get that out, it’s in next to some of the stringers mostly.

Re: Radon Transom Replacement

Thanks all, I appreciate all the discussion. I have epoxy and 1708 right now so that's what I will be using. It doesn't sound like doing anything else is really worth it... Going with different fabrics might create a "stronger" layup if done perfectly but I don't need to go to that level, ...

Re: Radon Transom Replacement

Aside from the workload issues I'd use 45/45 for tabbing, and unidirectional or 0/90 for capping. Fibers running the length of the boat just makes sense to me on the stringer tops. On my boat the sole is directly on the stringer, making a box section which has a similar effect. I’ve been thinking a...
