Vector Floor & Floatation Dear
Randy, I
just purchased a 1979 17' Vector. Upon getting it home stripping the
hardware and removing the engine, I started investigating the floor in the
boat (from the inside). Someone had taken plywood and screwed it on-top-of
the existing floor in the boat which had some soft spots to sturdy the
bottom. Once I investigated further and removed their attempt at a
temporary poor-fix I saw the original floor had trapped water and was
rotted away. I have since cut the rotted floor out removed the
water saturated floatation material and want to re-do the floor in the
boat. Any suggestions on what to replace the floatation with? What would
you put back on the floor before "re-glassing" (fiberglassing it
all in)? Any
help (suggestions) would be appreciated. Sincerely, Joe, Cut
everything out that is rotten or bad. Seal and glass the new floor (Baltic
Birch plywood works good). The pour in foam is available at most any
marine store. They can order it for you in quarts or gallons. The
fiberglass supply house you use should have foam available.
Please submit whatever questions you have to IHRTechTalk@yahoo.com. All questions and answers selected will be displayed on this page as they come in.
