Another winter project

Replacing stringers

 

[Megabyte]

Two poly fuel tanks?
The tube in the center going aft... is that a wire chase?

Just trying to figure out what I'm seeing.

 

[rbsurf5143]

The tube is my wet exhaust. The original tanks were bad and I purchased the boat with those new poly tank which only equal 75 gallons. So I am replacing w aluminum tanks so I can have upwards of a 100 gallons

 

[Megabyte]

Gotcha. Thanks!

 

[rbsurf5143]

Could also be my shaft and dripless too

Nice work. You have some skills. Are you going to completely glass those stringers?

 

[rbsurf5143]

Thanks. I will tab all seams and corners w 6" biaxel fabric tape then cover everything with 2 layers of fiberglass mat

 

[shawnee83]

That should be good and solid. At the plant they lower the whole stringer system in already put together and glassed. Then they tab it to the hull. Your obviously doing it right. Good luck with it and keep the pics coming.

More progress towards finish boat

 

[shawnee83]

Looking good. Looks like you have made decent progress given the rough winter you had.

Saw the doghouse and A27's and knew this was a Cape Cod boat... Looks great... See you out there...

 

[rbsurf5143]

Slowly making progress hopefully speeding things up now that the snow is gone here on the cape. And yes with the rright jiggle the a27 can be a go too

That is the only inboard, center console Parker that I've ever seen.
The only other inboard I have seen is (or used to be) local to me.

That one was a 2520 with a gas big block motor in it and a tunnel drive.
Very unique boat as it's name, "Knot Many" suggested.

 

[rbsurf5143]

Love the name knot many. I don't know parkers history that we'll but the boat is def unique which made me want it more

Tanks and steering in

 

[Megabyte]

Looks great! 8)

Very nice work installing everything and the gel also. Very clean and new looking. Keep the pics coming.

 

[rbsurf5143]

Thanks guys. I have a few small things left to do before I install the decks. I have glassed the bottom side of the decks where they will be exposed to the bilge area and gelcoat them and epoxy resin on the rest of the underside of the plywood. Also have bought three new Anchor Marine hatches 2 in the stern and 1 big hatch for the bow

 

[rbsurf5143]

Decks are down now just gotta finish
