Leaky plates and hatches can definitely lead to water in compartments and should absolutely checked and maintained but knowing what i know now and having torn this thing apart that was only a very small part of the issue. Believe me im not looking to bash Parker or any other manufacturer. Im...

This is my first experience opening up a fiberglass boat and the forensics associated with identifying the problems and then dealing with the repairs so im by no means an expert but I have been building/ repairing things my whole life. As with many things the devil is in the details. I dont...

A few progress pics I filled the stringer void left by the removal of wet wood and laminated a full length new stringer alongside of that. I stepped the stringer height down to allow for tabbing at the top so that everything is tied in top and bottom. Wet all surfaces and used bonding putty to...

Remove the plywood, clean up the area real well, grind back to virgin glass and 5200 a square of HDPE/ starboard down and fasten to that. Done for good, nothing to rot ever again, at least in that 1 sq/ft area. Im replacing a fuel tank as we speak and learning a lot about the "really solidly...

Looks good! Ill check the width tomorrow

Anyone have a layout, template, sketch or otherwise for a mounting plate for a Minn Kota trolling motor that has been succesfully installed on a 2120 SC or for that matter any other sport cabin. Rather than design my own from scratch any input would be appreciated. Thanks,

warthog, all of the existing glass aft of the bulkhead was left in place and i laminated to it so there is no need for me to work in that tight space that i left. There were huge voids left by the builders which i filled with bonding putty so i think thats an improvement. I laminated to the...

I have Mat and 1708 glass with mat stitched to one side and vinylester resin as well as bonding putty for adhering to old remaining glass. I wet out the existing glass and new rear bulkhead before mixing bonding putty troweling that on and clamping in place overnight. Evertyhing seems really...

I have a 2002 2120 SC - looking to buy the rocket launcher setup for that boat

Some progress pics 3/4" Fir Marine Plywood by Rosenberg I have not been able to locate any tank that will fit my compartment not made out of aluminum so im going to go with the same unit from RDS I plan on installing a flat piece of glassed plywood to rest the base of the tank on in the...

Most of it im not worried about but there is a central compartment that im not planning to re-foam and wanted to clean it up. I may use the compartment for trolling motor batteries or storage with a deck plate. I have also found that just a scour pad is the most effective so far, probably...

Anyone know if there's a substance that removes floatation foam residue from the inside of the hull? Acetone doesn't do it,at least not very well. I'm thinking of wire brushing it. I just want everything nice and clean before I start to reassemble the boat.

Wow! Thanks a lot, I really appreciate that plan. I have pretty much all of the back deck open so it would've been nice before hand but all joking aside this is very nice to have. It appears to show a joining of plywood stringers 8' fore of the transom and this helps me out because i dont...

Pulled the tank, glad i did there is pitting in a few small areas but they are deep enough that its worth a new tank. Ill order the same one from RDS unless someone has another suggestion? Bad news is that the plywood is wet basically everywhere, most of it has not separated from the fiberglass...

Ive got the deck all cut out, ground down the edges of the existing material and now i need to purchase materials for the repair work. I hadnt even thought about this potential issue but when i was searching for materials i came across discussion of epoxy and gelcoat not being as compatible as...

Well as often happens, things got a little more involved than originally intended. Cracks were more serious than i thought, someone stated that earlier. The plywood was wet way beyond the area of the cracking and i just decided to do the right thing and get all the wet material out. I figured...

Anyone have this plan available to share? Parker has been no help at all, three phone calls and two emails with out any assistance beyond telling me to keep emailing. Receptionist I assume: "There is no one here you can talk to you have to email" I did search the forums, unless I missed...

if it was a diveboat why would that matter? Previous owner used it for clamming and hunting and transport to a small cabin on an island so no diving i believe. he did not cover the boat for winters etc so i think this is the reason for the gelcoat cracking and thus the fiberglass cracks etc...

Picked up a "new to us" 2002 2120 last week, has a few condition issues i felt i could handle and just looking for advice on the repair. We have two large cracks that i thought were just gelcoat deep but they go through the glass and have allowed water into the plywood below. The plywood is not...

Hi, nice to find there is a forum dedicated to my new boat. I purchased a used 02 2120 a week ago and it needs some tlc. Hopefully some of you can steer me in the right direction! I look forward to searching the site to answer my questions and maybe i can provide some help based on my skill...
