Jon, there is no better time to split you hull and turn your 302 into a cat.

Or, at this stage, you could easily cut your boat widthwise, add 8 additional feet, and end up with a 38 Formula.

Better yet, add steps to the bottom! 1979 38 Formula Fastec catamaran. You don't see too many of those.

Wow dude,
You are my hero. I thought dinking around with new engines in my F402 was bad. Of course it ended up to be rewiring 90 % of the boat, rerigging everything and deciding to reupholster the entire cockpit. You however just kicked my ass. Hats off and good luck......Al

Ok today was depressing. Yesterday I cut out the old stringer. Then today I was grinding and grinding and grinding. It plain old SUCKED. I decided to grind off all the old tabbing. I did not need to but I wanted to so that I was not adding any weight. Like the 15 or so pounds would likely make a difference at this poin...... Anyhow that is what I decided to do. Tomarrow I hope to get the part above the stringer ground down and then tab the first stringer into place.

Well I got the stringer glassed in on Monday. It came out awsome and I am feeling good that I can do this now. I was worried that the amount of glassing that I had to do in such a short time was going to be a issue but I just kept moving and I got it all in before the resin kicked. I only mixed up about 1.5 - 2 qts at a time. This took almost 3.5 qts to tab this all in.

This is the front corner to the new bulkhead.

This picture shows a problem that I had to overcome. It worked out perfect however. The rear bulkhead was replaced two years ago. The guy that did the work installed the bulkhead but did not treat the one side The bulkhead bowed out and needed to be pulled back into place. To do this I used ratchet straps. This solved two problems. One was how to get the bulkhead back to were it belonged. The other was how to hold the bulkhead in place.
