    Glass Boat Project

    I am thinking about undertaking a glass boat restoration. I have done as much research as possible and I have learned that people just don't take enough pictures and explain them whenever possible. I can't talk much though, I haven't ever done this before. I know the basic steps that I probably need to follow but once I remove the upper glass hull, how do I measure the correct lenght, width, depth ect of the stringers and other decomposed wood that needs to be replaced and reglassed? I once saw a glass boat "improvement" I think it was an older "Astro". The owner raised the front deck up and I remember it showed several good photos. I think it was on this board but, it's been awhile. Anyway, if anyone has any good locations that I can find some helpful info, I appericate it. Thanks I will take picture and try to explain and maybe, just maybe I'll do this job right and it'll be of help to someone else.

    Look at the sticky threads on the top of the Bass boat restoration board. There are several projects shown that should give you an idea what you're getting into.
