Yes, remove interior.Also get hole,bore around fasteners. Plank comes right off. Just larger holes,have to make jig to hold bit to keep it from walking when u start you holes. Looks like lots of fun to me. Enjoy yourself.
Old timers by me ( Long Island) would dip screws in old oil paint , then drive them home for the hull planking. It worked as both lube and coating.
Those screws next to each other are most likely due to re fastening. Its common practice to leave the old ones in. Also, ive never heard of cotton being put around a screw, although ive seen it done for bolts that go through the hull.
Was suppose to say a hole bit , and remove drillbit guide. Like those used for drilling through baseplate for plumbing drain pipe. Or a plug cutter used in carpentry . There's aways an easier way.
You really need to expand your thinking here, there is always a way . Good luck with this project she looks to be a worthy cause.
@@davidprocter3578 Good advice. I spent some time today re-thinking my re-planking strategy...I am determined to get the job done, because she is worthy. but it's going to be tricky, as I am on a tight budget and trying to repair a boat with a finished interior.
it's called a caulking bevel. Without it the cotton would go right through the seam.
@@michaelwright1852 Understood.
Need to use hole saw around fasteners !
I get this... but I was trying to be a bit more surgical here, with this first piece. This is, BTW, probably the only plank that is going to come off completely.
That boat is an example of amateur construction, and not in a good way. To properly repair the hull, you will need to tear out much of the interior.
At least the builder used proper fastenings like your dad did... Nothing worse than having one built by a proper shipwright but met it's demise thanks to cheaping out on the fasteners.
@@SavingMaverick55 My dad? He put up a basketball net on a 4x4 once in the driveway, but never built a boat, lol
@@meganluke444 I am going to try to avoid that, as it is possible...there are a lot of butt joints, but where there is no teredo damage, the hull is doing just fine.
@@SlowlySailing-lc1cs I was referring to @meganluke444 's dad. He built a Tahiti back in the 50s with all bronze fasteners.
As for your planking I'd build a scarfing jig and replace all the butt joints with scarfs. That's what I'm gonna do on my whole hull. The butt blocks create buildup points for filth which always leads to rot. Id rather have that crap fall into the bilge where it can actually be removed.
@@SavingMaverick55 I am considering that...but in this case, where I can see the butt blocks inside, it's not a big deal. I will probably only scarf where I am creating a new joint...I am willing to deal with butt block issues if I can avoid ripping out furniture and ceiling slats.
It's harder tk do what I am doing than to build a new boat, lol
