I've heard this recommended as an alternative to carpeting the bunks but I got to thinking.... Will this still work if I plan on coating the hull in Steelflex? Does anyone else have this combination out there?
Like lay it over the top of the existing stringer? I haven't thought of that. I figured it would be stronger to just rivet or bolt directly to the hull. Although that it more holes in the hull.

I've got a 1969 Starcraft that over just started work on. One of the first things I found after ripping up the old rotted floor in it is that several of the stringers have broken. There don't appear to be any leaks, and under the boat are 3 additional stringers that run longways from front to...
I know right? It's definitely fiberglass. The crack in the middle made suspicious so I took a dremel with a sanding bit to it and exposed the fibers. My first reaction was whhhyyy?? And then how do I fix this. I think it'll be like the previous guy mentioned just reinforce the hell out of...
That's the one! I'll take more pics soon. I like what they gentleman did with his but I don't think I'll get that extreme. First check for leaks then look into repairing the one brace that's cracked right in the middle. There's also a section on the bottom right in the center, just after the...

The plans are to fix it up as best I can and take my kid fishing on it hehe. The bracing is definitely fiberglass, i even sanded it down on the crack to make sure. It has a Lowe Line emblem on the side next to the transom.

I've recently acquired a 1976 Lowe Line 14 foot jon boat. Now I'm trying to figure out exactly what I've gotten myself into. The boat has been sort of fixed and repaired over the years and I'd like to make sure it's done right, even of it means removing old fixes and reworking it.
