Still chugging along!
Well I haven't seen any new news lately here so I thought I would offer some. Hull #2560 MKIII has had the topsides painted, the steel bulkheads have been powder-coated, the cabin has been painted, I have an upholstery friend about to do the cushions and I am now starting to re-fit the hardware: IMG...

Re: Two boats into one. Sizing up the project
Hello everyone, I'm glad to see that we are back online! Thank you forum admins! Well I've been hard at it. After finding a free piece of 10 foot 1/4" hot rolled steel from a pipe fitter yard I've got the metal bulkheads cut, welded and powder coated: IMG_1301.jpg This pic is before the white powder...

Re: Two boats into one. Sizing up the project
Well the sailboat gods are smiling down on me so far. I have the transom scarfed then glassed and reinforced from inside. IMG_1226 (2).jpg So while I am waiting for it to get warmer to paint it I figured I would start removing the deck hardware and drilling the holes out and here is where some good ...

Re: Two boats into one. Sizing up the project
Well after spending hours behind a pressure washer wand today one really contemplates what exactly he has gotten himself into... :) Me and my son dismantled hull #1673 this week, I hate to totally kill an SJ but I have a retired Coast Guard friend who wants to put it out on his very nice sprawl of p...

Re: Two boats into one. Sizing up the projest
Hello again, has anyone had any good results with the products called Git Rot or CPES by Rotdoctor? I'm thinking that when I re-bed the deck hardware I might use one of these products to help with structural rigidity in the deck core. I would actually drill my holes, use one of these products first ...

Re: Boat Restoration Complete!!!!
BTW I guess I should start asking these questions on my other post. Again Kuriti you did a really nice job on your boat. That SJ looks sweet! I can only hope that mine turns out half as decent.

Re: Boat Restoration Complete!!!!
Yeah I've been really seriously thinking about whether to go into the transom from the outside or the inside. I'm a fairly big guy and to try and work in a hole the size of my shoulders and be bent over for many hours sounds torturous. I don't think it's going to work if I go in from the inside. IMG...

Re: Boat Restoration Complete!!!!
Wow that's one fine SJ. It's funny I've been watching videos on San Juan 21s over the last month and a half trying to get ideas on deck set up's and as soon as I saw those speakers I realized that it was in one of the videos that I 'liked' about a month ago. I finally found the post on the metal bul...

Re: Boat Restoration Complete!!!!
Hello Kuriti, I have ran across this post a few times and on various wifis and the photos do not show up. I hate to raise a dead post but I would really like to see the finished boat. I talked about doing my bulkheads and I saw one of the pics of your metal ones like a month ago and I have not been ...

Two boats into one. Sizing up the project
Well we finally got a couple of mild winter days recently so I decided to start cleaning #2560 out and sizing up this project. I read a blog by a guy Tom Scheafer who was doing exactly what I'm going to do (http://sanjuan21restore.blogspot.com/). Get the boat seaworthy first then make it pretty late...
