Re: BlackFin to BlackPearl Arrr
Be darn sure to brace the sides before pulling the cap. If not she will spread on you and the cap will never fit back on. And if you have to cut out the stringers make sure the bottom is well supported in many places or it will lose its shape. I think I would only cut out 3-4 foot of stingers before getting the new transom in. That way you will have at least one thing helping to hold the shape.

Re: BlackFin to BlackPearl Arrr
Not sure I mentioned, but make sure the hull is all glass before proceeding. If she is a core boat, as bad as it looked; it'd be garbage if there was a core almost fer ser.
Re: BlackFin to BlackPearl Arrr
Ahh, good point. There is no core in the hull sides, I know for sure. Looking at the lay-up of the bottom, you can see the indentions of the strakes. So I am sure we are all glass.fallguy1000 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 9:47 am Not sure I mentioned, but make sure the hull is all glass before proceeding.

Is this a 25’ Combi?
If so this boat along with the 24’ or the Albemarle equivalents (Same boats) are on my short list, along with a Seacraft. Planning a total rebuild with a conversion to twin outboards is on the slate
While a new Bateau design was on the table, after alot of research these Blackfins have blown me away. Start from scratch and build or start with a hull and build.

Yes she is a Combi. And at the moment, I am just thinking on how I am going to design the boat around the hull. I too like the idea of having a shell, so to speak, to start from. My goal at the moment is to build a well rounded (fishing, fun, cruising) boat that my family and I can enjoy.

Finally have concrete to work on. In the process of designing a gantry for lifting.
