'72 Super Fish 20' Rebuild

[JBASS02]

I'm planing to use Divinycell H80 GS for the coring on the hull sides. What thickness are people using? How many layers of glass?

[KNZ911]

Most I have seen use 1/2". Waiting to find a good deal on some myself for same application. Wish Great Lakes Skipper would have it on close out again. I know a few people that capitalized.

3/8 is fine, or 1/2, wouldnt go any thicker...

Unless youre swinging hammers on the sides, 1x1708 will work. 2x1700 if thts what youve got...(i think youve got a roll of it right?)

I poured foam last weekend and got the stringer tops roughly level. Before I finalize the height I wanted to make sure I'm doing it correctly. What are people measuring off to determine deck level? Both front to back and side to side?

I left the lip of the old liner / deck. built a grid of string for multiple measure points. I may adjust a little higher at the bow to clear the chine, as I am flat decking it. I don't think an inch or 1.5 drop from bow to stern will be noticeable. Plus it will aid in draining a bit. That is what WGSCOTT did and seemed to work out. I believe by stringers will be roughly 18 ft long x 15 inches high at the transom.

My deck now has a 1-1/2" slope. Works great and hardly noticeable.

I love the look of the Channel Island cuddys. They seem perfect for free diving and seem like they would make a converted center console a lot more sea worthy. I’m looking forward to seeing it finished.

Also nice to see another Southern California Seacraft being used for spearfishing. I only know of four Seacrafts here San Diego ( three 18s and one 23) and they are all used by spearfisherman.

A few updates. Did a bunch of grinding/sanding and now one stringer is prepped for glass. The pvc center drain in epoxied in. I finalized some major layout decision regarding driving position.

Those white sea bass are huge...Nice work on the boat very interesting what you are trying to accomplish...I could not help thinking that you are basically building a 20 seafari....kinda...
