Thanks, Dennis. That helps me out a lot - thanks! For the light weight matt (glass) is this what I am looking for? 1.5oz light enough? http://fiberglasssupplydepot.com/FIBERG ... OUNCE.html OHH, I also wanted to ask - for the top side, you mentioned putting tape Is there a specific kind of...

Hey guys - thanks! Mike, thank you for that tip - I was thinking about replacing those supports since they were wet but now i am going to pull them up anyway just to make sure... I had a couple of questions: I am still chipping away at the old core out of the "shell" but I was curious, most of...

Great! Thank you!! This is what I found at West System - http://www.westsystem.com/ss/105-resin- ... ngth-bond/ and then for the Divinycell core - H-80.. and 1/2" It looks like the ship the sheet in 2'x4' for shipping purposes...

regarding this, I think I might want to go this path for the core instead of the plywood. Is there an advantage over Divinycell or Coosa and vice versa? Also, how easy is the foam to cut (since it's foam I'd imagine pretty easy?)

Yeah, that's exactly what happened, angled the dremel too high trying to get under a stubborn piece of wood skin (the onion!). I did sense something was not right and I stopped and then looked underneath and found the damage I did. It just took me a little bit too long to realize the error...

Thanks, Dennis! Very informative stuff and I did look over the thread... been working on this all day.. and now as it seems, I ruined the piece.. I went right through it with the Dremel... That said, what is the best way to fix what I damaged? Or do I just get some plywood - resin the hell...

Yeah, that would make sense.. core - the middle.. :-) I started scraping but I was being a bit on the gentle side, afraid of damaging the panel itself... I did come across a few threads but let me do another search for more detailed how - to's. Thank you!! I very much appreciate your help...

So the squares are indeed glued to the core...also the glass around the access covers are hard to get off too.. anyone with ideas to pull this all up without damaging the core? Thanks!!!

Never mind - I answered my question.. Pulled out the glass - the wood underneath are little squares (soak and wet!) but I thought they were glued to the panel for some reason and thought that there was a way to get out.. However, they are so saturated....

Thanks! I pulled it off, there are lips there just not at the forward and aft of the panel - I was wondering now though - what is the best way to "gut" the panel now that I have it out?

It's not a hatch so I can't pull it up - not until I am ready to do the work (unless I opt to have someone do it)

Thanks, Dennis! I was getting worried about that spot. Jbrinch - yeah I am going back and forth on it - I searched through the forum under Dennis's suggestion and it seems like an undertaking if you really don't know about working with glass but I am considering it just so I can get that...

Thank you, Dennis - I'll also try a search on the topic in the forum - about the screw giving way.. the 2nd photo.. the very top screw has softened threw the glass..but it seems that can all be fixed with your suggestions you replied with.

Hello! At some point my Grady had the Gas tank replaced and the floor was replaced where they dropped the new tank. But I guess years after that floor panel has become soft and it gives when you walk on it. I also noticed that at the top edge, a screw has given way and the edge is giving way...

bumping this up..

Hi, I have a 1989 Tournament and this weekend, the walkthrough windshield framing became detached from the fiberglass.. I am trying to figure out how it assembles to the fiber. It looks like I would have to take the glass out and attach from the inside of the frame to the fiber with screws...

fantastic thanks for the responce... TD

I've bought my Grady there!

well, I have the vro system on the exact engine - hasn't died on me (knock on wood) but that said, I would certainly take the advice from the other responces you received. don't bother with it at this point. It's an old engine, keep mixing the oil....

Hi, new to the forum. However, I have been a Grady White Owner for the last 4 years. I have a 1989 Tournament 190. On the subject of scuppers, i can't say when the last time the scuppers were addressed as I bought the boat second hand. However, the scupper on the starboard side will take in...
