I purchased a 1970 Caravelle CX173 that is fiberglass. The floor and transom were rotted out so I am removing all that now. When replacing the wood and fiberglass should I go with epoxy or polyester resin and why? Which is stronger and better waterproofing?I will also be using 1708, CSM and Woven Roving along with the resin. Is there an formula on how to figure up the amount of each of these I will need when working with the stringers and cross supports?Also, on both sides of the transom there was a fiberglass C or O near the sides. Can anyone tell me why this might have been there? They looked like a headlight housing except for they were on the inside of the transom near each side of the boat and NOTHING was in them. Just looked like a cavity made from fiberglass. I just want to make sure it is not some support thing that I need to remake. I just have never seen anything like this on a boat before. Thanks
You so they have a record.
The pocket knife would be very useful, also both the lighters, the cellphone to the extent it can receive messages to keep in touch with the world,laptop wireless for the same purpose,the carry on bag which may contain some book to read and stationery to make notes,the chapstick would also come handy.The rest are useless possessions though I could have put on some jewellery to humour myself. The first thing I would ask the genii is to keep company with me and talk about various things,I would also ask him to provide me with the minimum comforts for the stay and the third and the last wish would be to take me home.However, I would not like it to be close your eyes affair. I would prefer a rowing boat with eatables in them to go ashore in which the genii would keep me company to ensure a safe passage. The driving I myself will do. Allauddin's genii, where are you?
