Found some time to get back to work on the boat.I glassed a few holes at the bottom of the stringers so the foam I pour in would not leak out.Than I poured the two part foam in the stringers. My concern is that the foam i took out seemed to be much denser than the new foam I put back in. Could that be a problem?

nice job on the stringer foam.I would think the density would be alright as long as it is closed cell stuff...I was wondering if there was originally foam poured outward of the stringers toward the chine?Mine is an 85, and had foam between the stringers and chine, to the hull sides.I put it back that way,I guess if water can get in there,it can get out...hopefully.It seems to be sealed off pretty darn good,dont see how water could get in there, except from the stern by the rigging tubes...any thoughts?

The density is also effected by temperature when you pour it. Optimum is 70 degrees for pouring. Pouring at higher temps will give you less density and fill up more volume. Probably better than pouring at lower temps where you would need a lot more liquid for the same capacity.

Mine did have foam on the sides. But I am not putting the foam back in. The temp was in the low 80s when I poured the foam.

Been working on the boat on and off but haven't been able to post. I finished the stringers with two layers of 1708. Then We glassed some marine plywood to put the gas tank on and glassed them down between the stringers. Here is the pic. What do you all think.

I think it looks very well done.

Looks nice. You also did a good job by saving the scupper gutters with enough to tab onto.

lookin good on the restoration,amazing how much it takes to redo some of this stuff.you are on your way , keep us up with the picts...

I cut out part of the new deck and I glassed the bottom of it and while it was drying I started to cut out the transom. Check out the pic I wanted to do only that part of the transom but do you guys think that's a bad idea
