Bayfisher Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone can suggest a boat repairer or the like that can fix a rotten floor on a fibreglass boat I have. After fishing over the weekend I ended up putting my heal through a soft section of floorring so I decided to rip up that section and proceeded to rip up most of the floor and check that the stringers are fine and only the flooring needs replacing. I live in the Hills area so someone local would be great. Any advice would be great. Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be happy to show you how if you are interested and have the time. Doing it yourself will save you heaps of bucks plus you get the satisfaction of doing it yourself. No weird skills necessary, just common sense. Should be able to complete in 1 day, maximum 2. Cheers,Tuffy ( Russ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evets Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Bayfisher, Have alook for a magazine by Jeff Webster entitled Secondhand Boat Workshop. It has step by step instructions as to how to replace the floor. I got my copy at the local newagency. Worth its weight in gold I reckon Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
