Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Beautiful restore its nice to see people with money that own older restored boats rather than buying something brand new just because they can. The pictures of the boats docked at those beautiful houses made me think about that. How high was the floor raised and I am assuming the deck self bails with that 150 four stroke. Nice work I am in the middle of a restore myself.

Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Thank you, yes it is nice to see people put some capitol back in a beautifull classic, and I love to do it, they are great boats, starting another one, which will have some major changes, stay tuned. The deck was raised 2" and yes it self bails.

Absolutely beautiful restoration.What did you use in the bilge and the compartments,for a coating?It looks very nice.
|
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Great Work Caymanboy! What was the time frame of the restoration?
|
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Thank you again, it truly was a rewarding project, spent the w/e on it and it is an eye catcher, used gel coat mixed with Duretec.

Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Wow another amazing resto. Do you have any performance #s with the F150?

Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit

Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
That is beautiful. How did you like the Coosa? How is it to work with? What glass did iyou put over it for the floor?
Love the look of that boat. T |
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
That'll be fine Blue, love the Coosa,just cost more, so don't mess up, very easy to work with, used vinylester and 1708 on both sides.

While I'm asking questions did you use all bluewater 26 or mix it up with some of the other panels? Thanks, Tod |
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Glassed both sides before I set it down,didn't want any flex,also helps when fastening things to the floor, set it down with laminex, yes, Bluewater 2600 all the way, floor and transom.
|
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Thanks, I'm real excited about trying out the Coosa. Having used lots of plywood and epoxy in the past, it seems like a Coosa is a dream come true.
The F150 is my motor of choice for my Seafari, so I'm interested in your numbers when you get them. Thanks, Tod |
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
You will need all the wieght forward you can get.

Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
His and Hers 20 Sf's :cool:
Thanks for sharing strick |
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
As far as weight, I'll have a 200# cabin forward, if that helps. I probably will go for a bracket to try to open the cockpit up as much as possible since the cabin steals quite a lot.
While I'm asking questions what thickness did you use for your floor and are you happy with it? Would you go thicker or thinner? Withthe Coosa when you butted panels for the floor, did you just use a a piece of Coosa as a butt block like you would with plywood? Did you tape the joints after you installed your pre-glassed panels? Sorry, I could go on for days and days, I'll stop. Thanks, tod |
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Hey Strick, nice to see you,Thanx! Well the first one was for me, then it became hers, the second, oh well, the third is mine, that one will be NICE!! Coming spring '10.
As far as the Coosa, used 1/2" on the floor, I felt it is the right size, yes I used the Coosa as blocks, all the joints fell on stringers or I used butt joints, then glued the joints with Laminex, then faired the floor with Awlfair. |
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Looks great, love that hull color. Look forward to seeing it in the water.

Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Beautiful work OP!!!
I like the S/S fuel separator and primer bulb set up...Who makes it? http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/r...cture152-1.jpg |
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Think it is made by Sierra, and I just attached the Yamaha hose to it.
Thanx Zach, be here for the show? |
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit

Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Beautiful work! My old console looks awesome!
|
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Yes it does!!!!!! Thank you! Saw that your project found a new home, congradulations!!!
|
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Great job Caymanboy,
I noticed you cut off console mounting flange. Just curious why you did it? I am doing similar rebuild on 18 footer and was debating what to do with my console mounting thank you |
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Thank you. I didn't like the flange, makes the boats look cheap, install a cleat around the inside of the console and fastened to the cleat.
|
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Caymanboy-Wow, great work. Is one of those 20's your tender for the trawler?? Your water pictures look like Sunrise Intracoastal / Sunrise Key.
|
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Why thank you, the light green one is mine, for now, I'm building another one with some changes, should be done in time for my trip to the islands, the pic is from the Lauderdale area, but not Sunrise Key area.

Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Just checking on #3. How's she coming? Also, I like the sketch. Is that your work?
|
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
#3 has slowed a bit, trying to make some $$$$, got the liner out, rebuilding and raising the stringers, and have the new transom in, I made that with Paint Shop Pro.

Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Really classy boat, I was wondering who did the grab rail around the wind shield? Also if you had the swingback custom made? Looks great.
|
Re: 1970 20' S/F Second Effort Total Refit
Thank you for the compliment, I had a local guy make the hand rail, Birdsall Marine in Palm Beach made the swingback.
