Well its time to start putting the floor in the V195. Pulled her into the garage last night and made my plan of attack (kind of) Stoped by express and picked up the double stitched Bias ( think that is what it was called. I also picked up some Cabosil. Is any one here in the Minneapolis St Paul area doing a floor replacement. And if so did you get any cabosil yet was thinking of buying a large bag and splitting it with someone. A bag is 65.00 and a gallon is 15.00 there is about 11 gallons in a bag. Let me know.

Got the out drive removed and the inner bell housing and Y pipe. Also got one more stringer out. I think i am going to replace them one at a time. Did i mention that I am trying to get this done in time for Redwing cause I told a buddy he could use my 2nd boat. But then I sold is and now I need to get this one done. Feel free to stop by and help if you would like. I got the A/C on so we wont die in the heat.

I think I'd tell the buddy...sorry, sold the boat I said you could use!

Do you have a motor for this boat?

Ya the motor that came out of my 18 will go into the 195. Not that I need more work but does any one know of a cheap donor boat that would have a merc setup maybe with a bad motor that I could get cheap

I don't see a bearing listed in there

Got all the floor ground out yesterday and the wood for the transom cut. Is it ok if i just glue everything together in one shot in the boat. Layer of glass 1 piece of wood then glass then wood then glass and be done or should I glass the 2 pieces of the wood together first. I am just doing the bottom half and I can get clamps on everything so it would be clamped and bolted down good. Ideas thoughts?

WetRaider · « **Reply #11 on:** July 28, 2012, 05:47:49 PM »

I don't think it'd matter either way. For me, since I don't have any clamps & working outside gave me very short pot life on the resin, I did the transom lay-up in the shade and screwed it down tight. Then put it in the boat. If you can work quickly enough and have enough clamps to keep the air out, go for it.

Got the transom in hope to get the stringers bedded tomorrow we will see

fireman24mn · « **Reply #13 on:** July 29, 2012, 03:40:44 PM »

Got the stringers all built Those of you that have the in floor tank what did you do around it I was thinking the pink insulation/ foam or doing expandable foam any ideas

dorelse · « **Reply #14 on:** July 29, 2012, 05:03:14 PM »

I cut pink sheets then expandable foam insulation to snug everything up:

fireman24mn · « **Reply #15 on:** July 30, 2012, 09:12:16 AM »

fireman24mn · « **Reply #16 on:** August 01, 2012, 03:21:23 PM »

I am hoping so. Time will tell. I also have a car that I have to repair and paint the front end and 2 doors this weekend as well. You know just to keep busy. Did I mention I am an insurance agent by day?
I can still sleep when I am dead right? I was told that and have been hoping I will be able to rest a little then.
