Sure. But another line of thinking is that if you do a good job with marine ply, it will likely last longer than the stuff that is in there now. Personally, I didn't hesitate to use wood when I did my floor and bulkheads. Just helped a friend rehab (entire floor, all 4 stringers, bulkheads...

Good pic, thanks. Yup, that's a very normal hull. Mount it just inboard of the outer strake. I know Bennett has good directions - it should explain/show that. I'm not sure about other brand's directions, but it's all basically the same.... a plate mounted on a hull.

What's different about the transom? Post a picture? I've done countless numbers of these - typically just follow the manufacturer's directions - but you basically just don't want to be too close to the chine.

OK, so SG is basically the same as normal isingglass - but better with a special coating, too. BE CAREFUL with cleaning - use only recommended products (Imar, for example). But in terms of the "storage", the same applies to SG as mentioned above.

One way that I've done... I rolled them (with sheets in between) around a 4" PVC drain pipe (ligher than Sch 40) and then stored all (8) pieces (this was a Sea Ray cruiser with more/larger pieces) in the storage bag they originally came in. In the Winter, I felt better taking them inside - I...

Good question, I can't imagine why the glass, itself, would be any different. But I've never tried to find out! Have you checked with a local glass shop to just cut you a new piece?

Oh... part of the reason for the clay was to also find the space between the lid and the box so I knew what thickness foam to get. What was tough, and hence the reason for removing some of the foam on the aft end (which isn't really needed, anyways), was knowing how much force it would take to...

In case somebody has a trailer that might work, it would probably be more helpful to list the specs you need. The important things on trailer fitment are: -- Bow eye to transom (just the part that would sit on the trailer) -- Carrying capacity If you can do that "homework" it should help make...

It's been probably 4 or 5 years since I did this "mod" :rolleyes: But I don't recall using anything too special. If I recall, I did something like (after cleaning the lid real well) putting wax paper on the box side of the lip, then some clay/putty in a few spots on top of that, then closed...

FYI, those aren't "Grady" specific cupholders. But what would be more important to someone interested in them is the size of the hole they fit into.

That might be a tough one. But do you still have the actual hatches? Meaning, if you do, then a mold can be made from those.

FYI, you only need one post - posting in two sections can only confuse things.

Can you expand on this? Or add a picture or two of what you have/looking for? Windows are not specific to a boat model - and in most cases, not specific even to a manufacturer. Knowing what you have will help.

Yup, I added it to my fish boxes and it's worked well. I put the foam on the lid side. Most of the problem was from all of the water running down the walkway to the bow.

My '82 didn't. But at this point, it's a moot point as to whether or not it did/didn't have them. If it currently doesn't, add them if you want to. Decent quality foam rubber, stick-on weatherstrip is an easily sourced option.

Good point - if there are any kind of pleats, that's another place the screws can be hidden.

And yes, that post above was me dropping to his level :rolleyes:

I think I figured it out... Johnny was one of those kids (probably still is) that tried to get others to do his homework for him and got made when someone didn't. And also got mad when someone was trying to help him if they didn't know the exact answer but were spending their personal time to...

Location? It would be helpful to add a bunch more pictures - along with pics of the damage and a better description. Floor integrity and transom integrity? Is there a title for the trailer?

Not sure if this applies, but one way manufacturers attach these is a small slit in the underside of the fabric where you can find the screw head. Another, would be screws from the backside (either top or bottom).
