23 sCCeptre
 

Next on the chopping block...

The actual hull shell is in really nice shape minus the transom skin. As you can see there was some stringer issues... Will get a new grid with as little wasted space as we can, a bracket, a CC, and a curvy one-off cap.

1978 hull, nice n thick, liner as u see it weighed 300# alone. The hull is laid up nicely, stringers not so much...

I love the Smell of Potter Putty in the Morning !

Pumped to see you work magic on a 23. What's your idea for the cap/shear?

Shear will stay the same, its perfect as is! Cap will have a big radiused coaming in the bow and will be wide enough to walk the length of the boat. In the stern it will either overhang the new rear bulkhead or the bullhead will have a toekick, not sure yet...

Where is the 25? I thought that was next.

Thats my spare time no rush project, itll get cut on soon enough though! This 23 isnt mine...

wow, you weren't kidding about the delam on those stringers. At least you save time chipping putty off them?

I'm digging your play on the boat names, sternrider, sCCeptre...

Are you building the cap yourself? I'm also converting a sceptre to cc and going to need a cap as well. Looking good!

Have not seen stringers come apart like that before that I can remember..
