Has anyone disassembled a sea coaster transom?
I need to and would like information on how they were put together.

thanks Peter. i will keep that in mind.

i don't think that you would get the stringers and keelson to bend permanently back to original shape. too large dimensionally. maybe the ply and the ribs. maybe with a lot of steam. but i think that this would just weaken the old wood. i have been thinking on this a lot for at least a year! i'm thi...

don't soak the wood! this will just cause rot, as you figured. you could try steaming, but i don't think that you can get the ribs soft enough. i assume they are oak? i have a similar situation. the bottom is hogged (hooked) but all of the wood is in very good condition, so i don't want to take the ...

thanks Andreas.
i guess that i'll just have to cut them out. i was hoping to be able to save the wood to reuse some where.

can some confirm for me how the 2 longitudinal stringers are attached on the sea coasters?
i'm thinking that they are through fastened from the bottom through the ribs and into the stringers. i wont to remove mine without tearing up the bottom.

I will also be rebuilding the wind shield http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn190/acumalik/Thompson/1466021367687_zpstp5wu2xc.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn190/acumalik/Thompson/1466021368126_zpsbo5j2vfo.jpg http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn190/acumalik/Thompson/KIMG0206_zpstwsx1xx3....

image shack is no longer allowing photos to link through their free service.... any other ideas?

I am finally beginning the process of fixing up my seacoast! The bottom is very hogged as well as the "cheeks" on either side of the fore foot were it sits on the small bow pads of the trailer. I thought that I was going to have to replace the entire bottom. But when I finally got to takin...

And the H?

How about H41501?
I have to almost "dream" the H and the 4 into view!
I have started the process of dismembering and will post photos etc when I get a chance.

regarding the planning surface; as stated it relies on many things... However, planning basically comes from the flatter, horizontal surfaces of the bottom. and especially the aftermost portion. the boat i have has concave areas in the bows were the boat sank into the supports there too. and I think...

The thickness of the transom shouldn't matter if you through bolt engine.

Andreas
Thanks for the info. I'll be looking for The additional information when I can.
