CVX18 Floor rebuild
« on: November 07, 2010, 11:24:29 AM »
Ok winter is here and the floor in the cvx needed to be replaced.
Had several soft spots.
Removed the carpet to find a crack where the floor meets the outer part of the boat on the starboard side.
Further examination after floor removed is that the stringer needs to replaced on that side.

Jeff - One is better than all three. Looks like you also removed the flotation boxes in the corners. Are you gonna leave them out for engine access?

Kip you are right about the one hopin it was none.

The flotation box's are history along with 8 bags of foam

Not sure what to do, but I think they will go back in only deeper, hate to give up the storage plus I need a shelf on each side for the battery and trim pump.

But I am open for suggestions from anybody.

Looking good, good to hear it is only one stringer. Are you and Kip both replacing floors this year? Are you going to do anymore engine work this year?

Shaun I should be replacing my floor as it's a lot worse than Jeff's was. But not this winter. Maybe next year when I have the motor and drive out it.

Well the motor has to come out anyway, I removed all the flotation boxes and 7 bags of foam, going to rebuild the boxes but in a different way.

So with the engine removed will put in the thru hull at that time.

First I have to take care of replacement of the stringer, floor then boxes finally thru hull.

Good work so far Jeff! I just replaced my floor and a couple (unbelievably rotted) stringers and was thrilled with the results - definitely worth the work. Please let me know when you're doing the thru hull - I'd really appreciate a chance to come check out your work in person and get some ideas for my 23. Keep it up bud!

Andy

Just finished glassing in the stringer in tonight.

Will get some plywood for the floor this week and start fitting that soon.

I removed all the flotation boxes so will have to rebuild all that also, but going to lower the floor in them to gain more storage. Maybe you have some good ideas.

Then it will be in and out with the engine several times to get the exhaust right.

Jeff, Hoo-Ah!  All that work is going to pay off big time.  I like the idea of a shortened flotation box with a little storage.

Jeff, consider a snap in carpet with rugged backing made by Corinthian Carpet. Mine does not need snaps, just fits and stays in place. Afton marine sells it, or you can buy direct from Corinthian Carpet. Great to take out the carpet when doing dirty mechanical work on the engines, to dry out, vacuum, and store indoors in the winter time. Universal Textiles in Oakdale can edge it for you after it is cut out from the template pattern. I glassed the floor with two coats of resin before the carpet.

My first choice on the laid down fitted carpet would be Corinthian as they supply carpet to some of the big boat manufactors. Request a sample and check it against your existing boat interior colors. If they do not have the color you want, try Rockford in the Twin Cities. They sell a variety of laid down carpets and have a display showroom. But I compared the backings of the two suppliers and thought Corinthian was the best constructed. The total cost of my carpet was around $300; $230 for the carpet and $75 for the cutting and the stitching.

I bought the carpet in bulk from Afton Marine and made a template of the floor area and brought both to Universal Textiles to cut and bind, although Corinthian or Afton Marine will cut and bind it for you, but it will cost alot more.

Rochford seems to have moved from 94 and Broadway, to Brooklyn Park.
