1942 Chris Craft Fiberglass Bottom Removal
That's a difficult question to answer. It all depends on how much work went
into the installation of the fiberglass bottom. If the bottom was prep'd well then the resin will have a good bond with the bottom. In this case, you'll likely tear off some of the bottom along with the fiberglass. On the other hand, if it was not done well, then it may peal off OK, but there will still be places where it will take some wood with it because it "accidentally" sealed well. It might be best to plan on sanding the fiberglass off rather than trying to peal it off, but the glass dust can be a killer! Leaving it on is usually not a good option because if ANY water gets between the fiberglass and the wood, it will rot the bottom. You have some hard decisions to make! Don Dando |
