Mako Boats || 171cc Restoration Project || Replacing Stringers Part 2

Dylan Be Fishing
Mako Boat Rebuild Video #5
Removing Stringer & Tabbing in Coosa Board Stringers
1972 Mako 171cc, This is video #5 showing you guys start to finish how to cut out the old stringers, make a template to cut a new stringer out of coosa board, fiberglassing the coosa board in.
You can see the new stringers will be ran all the way to the floor using coosa board for the stringer core: strongest & lightest
newer boats use foam & old boats use wood, why? to cut costs.

Restoring a 21’ checkmate, removing floor was a real shit job but satisfying when done, great job Young Man!!!

Hey man, just wanted to say I really appreciate this build thread. I’m redoing a Dusky 17 from the stringers up and this series has been super helpful. Glad to see you back!

[@dylanbefishing]

Awesome glad you enjoy it! And thanks 🤙🏼

Nice work! When replacing stringers, it helps to hang the boat by the bow eye and stern eyes to give it a natural shape for the new stringer install.

Hey Man, awesome job and really appreciate you sharing all your know how. My dad and I just started a full restoration on our 73 mako 19. My dad bought it new and it’s been the family heir loom all these years. These videos have been a huge help for us. Question on stringers, can you share a little more on how you trace the hull curvature onto cardboard for the new stringers? Want to make sure I get that right with the curve of the boat. Any advice would be huge! Thank you!

I'm supposed to get back on mine this weekend, Been 3 weeks.

[@dylanbefishing]

Goood stuff yea I’m back in full swing! Some Bulkheads coming next and piping work for electric and plumbing

[@roncrawford7128]

Very professional job you're doing. I'm really enjoying watching this series. Looking forward to future videos.

[@djmjr77]

Get some ziplok freezes bags to dump your thickened epoxy in, cut a corner.. will save a ton of time applying it

[@docshqrk]

Make yourself a piping bag out of a freezer bag next time to apply thickened epoxy.

[@dylanbefishing]

Yea definitely going to do that when I glue the bulkheads in! Thanks 🤙🏼

[@davebowles9023]

Hey Dylan. I see you are using flapper discs. I also use to do this until I discovered a carbide disc that you can get from a pool maintenance shop. They last 5 times longer and work sooo much faster. I am currently restoring a ski nautique and am so grateful I ran into these discs. Thanks for the content from Cape Town South Africa

[@johnmeier270]

This is GREAT, love watching the progress can't wait till you launch her

[@eddietejera8179]

[@engine74a]

Love this series. Thanks for posting these.

[@bellevue260]

Looks good! Nice, near work!

[@dylanbefishing]

Thanks! Appreciate that feedback

[@darrisb1727]

I bedded my stringers in a Grady the other way. Marked the line on the hull with a marker and place the CSM fibers, Cabosil, and I used Polyester. Then laid the stringers in. Had about a half inch bed for the stringers as you do not want them on touching the hull. I laid them in just enough to start to Ozzy and then created a nice taper line for the 1708 to lay in flat. LOL I meant to say you have the every thing protected except your feet....

Hello sir u from new zealand.

[@dylanbefishing]

That’s awesome!!! I need to go visit that amazing place 🤙🏼

[@cageordie]

Good work. One thing, your voice is mixed way lower than the music, and the music is mixed really high compared to other channels. Net effect... I just skip most of it because I can't be bothered to change the sound level ever time you speak. Sorry. But if I'm doing it then a lot of other people probably are too.

[@CCoolidge]

Nice series bro. Subbed I’ll be waiting for more

[@MikeAndrewsUSMC]

Congrats on 1K bro! Keep it coming!

[@garycotz563]

Did the coosa board fairy leave you those 4x8 sheets? Hard to find them in SC.

[@peopleschampgarage7869]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@dylanbefishing]

🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@lodollar23]

Where do you get coosa board? Thx

[@MrjbushM]

How many Coosa boards were required to complete the stringers?

[@dylanbefishing]

It’s either 1 or 2 I’ll have to check the invoices

[@KeepCastingCo]

Hey brotha how many coosa boards did you up needing for the install, my restoration is about 16 ft and thinking of using coosa

[@dylanbefishing]

I’ll have to check but you’ll be fine with 1 or 2 sheets for the stringers and bulkhead.

[@williamperez156]

Grinding fiberglass jummy
