    '86 Tournament 190 - Fuel Access Cover re-core job

    The mat was sourced for me but IIRC it's 24 oz mat. It's some heavy duty stuff which is why we only did one layer. I'll have more pics coming I took a look and my forward cover is also fubar so I ripped into that last weekend. I'm hoping to have it glassed this weekend but we'll see.

    '86 Tournament 190 - Fuel Access Cover re-core job

    I was trying to figure out how to monitor the condition of the wood. Specifically watching how the epoxy handles the PT ply. So I cut a couple pieces to replace the boards up under the front seats. I gave them a nice coating all the way around. Now I can keep and eye on them to see how they...

    Canyon 336 2012 "La Mia"

    Awesome boat. I was surfing youtube last night and watched a couple videos on this boat. Looks like you will have plenty of fun! Does anyone know why they put a diesel genny on the boat vs gas? I hit Google and found a few gas 4 kW models that look similar in size. Just seems like a pain to...

    Rub Rail End Caps

    That's my local Grady dealer. http://www.taylormarinecenter.com/ Call their parts department and ask for Michael McDonough. He hooked me up with everything I needed and the charges were a bit lower since they are not cutting eBay a check. I used PayPal and had everything drop shipped from...

    '86 Tournament 190 - Fuel Access Cover re-core job

    From my reading this is a pretty common problem. I think the pt ply took the epoxy ok. I guess we'll see.

    '86 Tournament 190 - Fuel Access Cover re-core job

    That last very very thin layer of wood was sanded with a belt sander. Our thought was the more I chewed on that thin layer the more I risked damaging he fiberglass cover. The thought that this fiberglass cover is irreplaceable kept me being extremely careful. "kitty hair" is what I read on...

    '86 Tournament 190 - Fuel Access Cover re-core job

    I know this has been discussed a lot but I wanted to post up for someone that might still researching or debating doing the work. A little history: I bought the boat and most of the deck is solid but this cover was very soft. I had visions of me or one of my family members (big boys) ending...

    Grady without stripes and stripes

    Love it! I bought the GW logos and pin stripe myself. I haven't gotten around to removing the old and restoring the gel coat. Any tips would be appreciated.

    Deck hatch screws: '86 227

    We wondered if that was possibly the reason why parts of mine seem a bit boogered.

    Deck hatch screws: '86 227

    My '86 Tournament 190 is the same way. The wood in my cover was soaked but the screws went through that lip just like gw204 shows.

    Scupper replacement size

    Re: I know this is an old thread but does anyone know if I could use these on an '86 Tournament 190? The scuppers I have now are allowing more than a little water to come back up onto the deck. :-| I need to get them replaced.

    New Owner - The boat needs some TLC

    :noob here. I just picked up this '86 Tournament 190 and it's in need of some TLC. I've owned boats before but mostly jon boats that never needed a lot of login. My plan is to remove the GW stickers and pinstripe with a 3M Stripe Off Wheel. I'm also planning to use the 3M line of products...
