Re: Rot before modification??

Thanks for the detailed instructions! I will try to do as much as possible while on the hard. Technically, we still have the rest of the month before we “have to” splash.

Re: Rot before modification??

I may be starting the outboard well project now-ish, instead of waiting until Spring. Two quick questions.... 1)what cutting tool works best for cutting the slot in the transom? Anything I should be wary of? And 2)Nori is currently on the hard. We’ve sanded the bottom, removed five thru hulls and th...

Grinding to hole ratio

Now that I’ve removed some unnecessary thru hulls, I’m about to start grinding/prepping the holes for fiberglass. I’m getting conflicting opinions on “how far out from the hole” I should grind, and “do I need to dish out both sides(interior and exterior)” of the hole. Thoughts?

Rot before modification??

I’m starting the process of turning the aft locker into an outboard well on my Alberg 30. When I bough her, I noticed that a poorly installed cowl vent had created a soft spot in the aft deck. Wasn’t terribly concerned, since I knew I’d be doing surgery of some kind in a boat this old. Luckily, I’ll...

Re: Redesigning cockpit sole for Alberg 30

Thank you Gentlemen! I will take all that into consideration. I’ll get the measuring tape and level out, to check head room and how much slope I’ll need, as well as where the new scuppers would land in relation to the waterline. Will keep you up to date on what I find and how the project progresses....

Redesigning cockpit sole for Alberg 30

I may have initially posted this in the wrong place. I apologize for the redundancy... A previous owner cut a large access panel in our cockpit sole. Sadly, they made zero alterations(that I can see) to stop water ingress, so of course, the whole area is spongy. We’ve recently removed the Atomic 4, ...
