We bought a 1978 SeaCamper and in this episode we ripping out the old stringers and replacing them with a better coosa core stringer! Thank you to Boat Outfitters for sponsoring this episode!
Happy to have this one checked off the list, and to have finally gotten our hands pretty dirty with resin.
Deck install is coming up next. Stay tuned!

First video of us working on the interior, and we learned a lot! The learning curve of working with so many new (to us) materials was steep 😅 the next video we’ll have the new deck/cabin sole in!

The hull on my project boat, a 1973 SeaCamper, appears to have the same hull as your 1978 and the same problem with rotted stringers. At the end of the video there's mention of "foaming". Are you planning to refill the bilge with Styrofoam or some other filler? On my boat, it was water retention in Styrofoam voids adjacent to wood that caused the wood rot. Also the Styrofoam restricted flow of bilge water aft to the bilge pump. I was hoping to not replace this bilge filler, is the filler necessary?

Hi, the foam that is in these is a poured flotation foam or marine foam. Yes, we replaced the foam that was taken out when our boat was gutted. We used the 2-part Total Boat 2lb flotation foam. Look into the many videos of pros and cons on flotation foam here on RU-vid. It is a widely discussed topic and people have all sorts of opinions on it. We chose to re-pour the foam because of the sole purpose of flotation foam--to protect a vessel from sinking if the hull is ever breached/damaged.

i think you may be able to thicken the resin before you catalyze it. @boatworkstoday would know better

I’m sure there are a ton of different ways to do it. Like we said in the video there doesn’t seem to be just one way to make thickend resin. The first go of making it we added silica first and it didn’t seem like the best way to distribute the catalyst once it was so thick, so we switched it up and this worked well for us 👍🏽
