This looks like my 19 grady white weekender I did. Cabin stringers always seems to hold up. Tack on some sister joints and work on back. Wow and I am thinking about getting a Parker Pilot house... Maybe I will stick with my SeaFox no wood. Those stringer dont even look like they are glassed they should have been capped. Good luck I will be following.
I have 95 2520DV Pilot house, redid the tank, nothing looked like that. My boat spent 20 years in the water thru long island winters. Alot of shoveling and ice. Knowledgible people comment that boat is built like a brick you know what. That is an older model, cant' speak for the new ones. Most Parkers are GOLDEN
Massiv job😵 💪👏👏👏 I'm from Sweden and we only have summer three months June July August had the boat been here, it would have been in a hurry if the boat is going in this season
Can’t wait for the next video. What are your plans as far as replacement materials? I have a similar project that I have gutted and am ready to start the build back.
I am using Kay-cel board and Vinylester resin. I hope to post the next video I a couple of days. I have the transom back in and plan on starting the stringers next week.
Wow I can't believe that didn't sink I heard of boats getting waterlogged I never seen it I bought a key west in 2019 they said the only wood on a key west is if somebody walks on with a toothpick in their mouth I bought it I looked at Parker soon as I seen the wood I said no way I had plenty of boats in my life that had wood they all end up like what you're dealing with even today Parker still uses wood but when you're done you don't have any worries
Wow. What a shame. I would redo everything. I would not leave a match stick's worth of wood in the boat after going through all that hard work and time.
It will be wood free from the cabin back. The cabin is in fair shape so I am leaving it alone. If it does get soft in the future, it would be an easy fix compared to what I am doing now. Just don't have the time, money or will power to touch it now.
@Advanced Crab and Seafood I figured it would be easier to just do all of it at the same time. Since you have it all open. You do not ever need to go through the hassle ever again. Lifetime hull then.
I was only planning on doing the deck and fuel tank. After I opened it up and had around $5k in supplies I didn't have a choice. I don't have enough money to get into another boat. Noaa has been killing us financially for a long time and sucking every last drop of blood out of us.
