Re: 1986 19' Atlantic rebuild
Definitely my thoughts. I’m this far into it and have the wood to do it so might as well. I’m interested as to what would be the best method for tabbing and glassing into the stringers/well
Re: 1986 19' Atlantic rebuild
I looked and the instructions for replacing the transom wood is at the top of this category. Once you get it replaced then you just tab the stringers in with 12oz biax tape. Just as you would if you are starting from new. First make a smooth corner with epoxy then lay in the fiberglass. Please ask if you have questions as others have done this and can help you do this.

Re: 1986 19' Atlantic rebuild
Got a windy day to work on the boat between my busy schedule with Sea Tow and Commercial/Charter fishing firing off. Got rest of bottom ground out, well area cleaned up and got the transom cut out. Definitely glad to have put that under the knife as well. Friday I plan to butt block my stringers and get my transom cut out as well as my forward and midship bulkhead.

Re: 1986 19' Atlantic rebuild
My current plan is to utilize two pieces of 3/4” sandwiched together for my transom, and have a layup schedule something like 8,6,4 of 1708, rolled over that much on all four directions (sides of well, bottom and top). I also plan to add a layer of 1708 glass around the entire well to add some rigidity.
Should I tab and mate the transom/stringers together inside the boat first? Or should I install my transom as described, then tab/glass in stringers? With the well, it’s somewhat difficult trying to figure out which way I should do certain procedures.

I'd do the transom first, you'll get a cleaner job without the stringers in the way, then tab in the stringers.goingbogueoutdoors wrote: ↑Fri May 06, 2022 10:00 pm Should I tab and mate the transom/stringers together inside the boat first?

Re: 1986 19' Atlantic rebuild
Thanks, thinking transom first as well. Going to glue and get transom/stringers together top of the week.
As far as my stringer layout, I’m starting to wonder if two more 3/4” stringers may be better for the sole to distribute weight. Looking at boguesounder’s 18 privateer build, my boat is wider than a 18 privateer and I think it’d be incredibly beneficial as opposed to my previous plan of bulkheads. Any thoughts to this?

Extra stringers would make the deck stiffer for sure. And it might even let you build the deck a little lighter.

Re: 1986 19' Atlantic rebuild
Considering I am planning on not foaming under the deck, I think two outboard stringers will suit my 1/2” deck much better than my planned bulkheads would, with a lot less templates and woodworking to boot.

Re: 1986 19' Atlantic rebuild
If I guy did not mind or wanted a little higher deck 1 inch or 1.5 inch nidacore would make a damn nice deck for not much more money. Might even be close to break even as 1.5 inch would not need a lot of glass on it.
