Installing Stringers in the Boat||Strongest Design in the Industry 

I agree! I went thru 13 other videos before finding yours and agreeing with the way you’ve built structural integrity into the hull.

Just getting ready to lay up my stringers on my 72 IMP Aztec. I love the way they did the lay up! I would have made more of a mess by NOT rolling up that material. LOVE IT!

So I take it that your eyes went blind as well. Because you could clearly see what they're doing

@@robertgray1214 And I take it your brain went (is) dead as well. Clearly, my eyes were not blind, otherwise why would I thank the authors and tell them I love their methods. It's pretty obvious I've seen what they were doing, in order for me to say that. It's obviously a little difficult for you to understand the concept of constructive criticism, so something good can be done even better. Try Googling about it so you can learn, but first ensure your brain is turned on, unlike when you made the bitchy comment to me.

@@robertgray1214 Wow. The poster had a valid and respectfully worded point of criticism and you resort to this? Point was the content is good, good enough for most to live with the audio track but it seems you don't realize that some people who take the time to critizise often do so in order to help others improve. I read it as such. Then again, I also thought the audio wasn't great - which is a pity as not everyone braves through it, I would think.

No, some use wood, cold mold, ply on frame, fiberglass stringers w foam core, stitch and glue, frame on exterior. And many more

Use 5200 instead of CAB-O-SIL. CAB-O-SIL seems to crack over time, so it's best used for small fill spots. 5200 works much better in gluing applications like this. I noticed that boats I had done 5-8 years ago were coming back with cracks in the CAB-O-SIL, yet anything I had done in 5200 stayed solid.

@@peterelvenaes1088 Thank you! I have not worked on my boat for 3 months now. Plan to start again next week.

@@peterelvenaes1088 ... that's interesting. So what you are saying is that you would make a fillet using 5200 instead of thickened resin?

@@howechilds5060 Let me explain a little better. The way they're doing it in the video is absolutely ok, it's just that it'll for sure crack somewhere down the line (the cab-o-sil itself). Most boat repairs/builds have about 5-10 years of use in mind before needing overhaul/repair work and I'm sure their build will hit that mark, but it's just not how I would do it. I used to glue floors and stringers with cab-o-sil until I had a few come back for repairs about 5 years down the line. Each boat needed a repair because the cab-o-sil had cracked. This is a glueing application (bonding two things together), and for gluing applications I now use 5200/construction adhesive. Cab-o-sil is still a great product for filling (making a surface even before/after applying fiberglass), but I think you'll have better results in your gluing using 5200/construction adhesive instead. It's slightly more difficult to work with, but that stuff lasts a very long time. I once saw a 150hp motor hanging from the back of a boat with no bolts or bracket, just 5200 (it was during engine removal). You can still use some cab-o-sil on the sides of the stringers that you glass over, but between the stringers and hull or between the stringers and floor I'd use 5200. If you guys have any other questions feel free to hit me up.

@@peterelvenaes1088 Ty

Corelite/thermolite/coosa/boardcore all the same.

It's cabosil (or cab-o-sil), made of fumed silica, used to thicken the resin

where I live cabosil is not available, and shipping costs make it far too expensive, All my locals use Talc, which can be purchased in 25 lb bags and is much cheaper than cabosil and it does a very good job, but is a little harder to mix thoroughly, but worth the savings.

@@donedealracingDDR I stand corrected sir 👍

@@ps5801 Ok

Cabosil mixed with resin to the consistency you’d like!

Thanks for the reply. I will be doing this soon on my 198125' Sea Ray Amberjack. The sun got the floor cracked but this project looks somehow fun to me to do. I wonder what people would charge to redo a floor like this. Again, thank you so much!

Def using epoxy since it’s not wetting the material out all the way. The binders used in the material to hold it together till it’s wet out don’t dissolve in epoxy like they do in polyester. That’s why you’re not suppose to use those types of material with epoxy.

To me polyester is a crappy product. Only good for laminating solid glass parts.

@@donedealracingDDR thanks so much!

Looks like Coosa Board.

@@donedealracingDDR thanks, i will deff take my time on it. Plan to add new floor as well.

@@donedealracingDDR what glue did you guys use to glue the bottom wood (stringers) and the side before the fiberglass?

@@donedealracingDDR so this one is use on bottom of wood stringers right, help it glue to bottom of hull? Cabosil mixed with 405 adhesive filler until it thickened

@@donedealracingDDR how long does 405 take to dry?

@@donedealracingDDR to add new stringer in boat, it needs to be on the air & not on trailer?? Someone mention that! & was planning on doing it on top of trailer

Great work! No music at all would be best in my humble opinion. Most are here concentrating to learn the best way for their application. Music just causes distractions.

@@gerardguglielmo1644 I'm sure it's videos out there that meets your requirements so. Please don't tell someone what work best for them.

Lighten up Francis

I've been building boats for 30 years and I don't see any overkill.

Does epoxy have styrene?

@@robmitchell3633 epoxy an polyester resins contain styrene, it eats your lungs from the inside out, use a full face mask with organic filters which observe styrene, I own a fiberglass business an its compulsory to wear them

Epoxy resin does not contain styrene.

@@robmitchell3633 I stand corrected, we use alot of polyester resin an little epoxy cause of the price difference, epoxy has the same effect when sanding as to us using mekp catalyst to polyester, it dose get into your lungs, believe what you may its your life

there is no styrene in West Systems or any epoxy for that matter. But, he did wear a mask when he was using the trim router so id say this comment was useless.
