[quote=texastuma][quote=jgregs]Hey Everyone,
I have been restoring a Mystere 6.0 (https://www.thebeachcats.com/forums/viewtopic/topic/18672)
I have have the hull lids, I have sanded down all contact areas and before I reglued these lids down I wanted to make sure I haven't missed anything.
1) Check rigging hardware isn't rusted and is securely attached to the hull
2) Ensure there are no cracks or holes on the inside of the hull
3) Reenforce where the bulkheads attached to the hull
4) Inspect centerboard housing and check for holes, cracks, etc.. Reenforce/patch where needed
5) Check for thin spots on the bottom of the hull where it may have been dragged or damaged
Have I missed anything? The last thing I want is to seal up the hulls and block myself from check or fixing something else[/quote]
When you refer to rigging hardware, are you referring to side stay chain plates? I am not familiar with how the Mystere chain plates are installed, but I would try to look on the inside where the chain plate enters the deck. If water had seeped from the top and sat in between the stainless chain plate and the fiberglass, it could rust and deteriorate this point. With bigger boats, this is very common failure point.[/quote]
