you can use a bunch of products on wood. i used TotalBoat Penetrating Epoxy and thinned 2 coats at 60/40 and then 2 coats non-thinned. My decking is literally shiny plastic now. One thing you do need to do is scuff your wood from second coat to fourth coat so the epoxy has some tooth for the...

you could go with hardwood marine plywood and seal the tar out of it. i used that stuff to redo my entire deck. takes time to cure 4 coats on 6 sides of all cut boards but i was shocked at the poor condition of my decking. so 4 coats totalboat penetrating epoxy thinned for 2 coats to penetrate...

dude, i feel ya. my shop is awash with aluminum, wiring, carpet, upholstery, batteries, etc. its getting a bit crazy keeping things organized and retrievable. of course, i wouldnt have it any other way. my foam looked great also. i have those aluminum sheets under the seatinginserts also. not...

Regarding decking dimensions: on my Lund the center board sits "lower" than the 2 side boards. That center board is 3/4" the 2 side pieces are 1/2". It seems the entire front (consoles forward) are 3/4".

One more thing about Maridecking: you can get it in 102" widths

Kinda cut myself off right here...anyway let's compare notes as we struggle along. I also moved 3x100ah batteries up under the fishing seat "extension" so they are only 4 feet from the Garmin force electric.. Thinking of adding at least 1 step (for storage) leading to that expanded front deck...

I too have a Lund Tyee GS 1850 from 1993. The 115 2 stroke is pushing +/- 2% variance in compression at 122-124psi and a leakdown held for 20 minuYada. So I decided to do the whole boat. Coosa in transom, new hoses, fittings, floor, reframing the front into a better casting platform, NMEA2K...

I'm not in Central Oregon but I travel there frequently for fishing and bird shooting. I live in Oregon City. Have fun with your new project!

Thats a decent Blackie right there!

....when she says "let's work on the boat"...

I like the idea of marideck waterproof vinyl or some such product on the flooring. For "other" horizontal and vertical surfaces, I like the hdpd plastic at 1" of thickness. The hdpd is utterly waterproof so carpeting is just fine on that stuff. I like the softening effect of carpet in certain areas.

This is brilliant. I wonder if I could find a 1993 vintage transom template for my Lund tyee. I'm going to investigate this. I want to do wood but have heard the copper in the better sealants will interact with your boat skin causing corrosion. Any thoughts or experience regarding this...

We'd have coffee clutches over transom, anchors, fishing tactics, the weather, aches and pains....it would be therapy for all of us!

Not tons of room beam-wise in that garage but maybe length-wise not so bad if you buy a swing-tongue trailer may well fit. I have an old Lund 1850 Tyee GS which rests on a shoreland'r trailer. My boat length from tip of skeg to tip of trailer ball socket is 23' 3" so with a swing tongue you...

Tis the season! I just bought a project boat that is elderly (as am I 😁) so if there are archives that may be helpful please direct me. Winter project is transom, changing interior/exterior colors, and floor replacement.
