Re: *siboney 2.0* structural repairs - 1972 58' yachtfisherman
the entire inside of the salon ceiling took approximately 3 months of 8 hour days, 5 days a week and a few weekends, and about 900 man hours of labor spread across a team of 5 people. In materials we used and burned out 4 disk grinders, used approximately 14 5 gallon buckets of resin, 2 full rolls of 1708, 1 roll of mat, about 20 gallons of acetone, lots of 4" rollers, 1 4x8 sheet of Cusa board. in total the entire rebuild of the interior fiberglass ceiling was just shy of $30,000, most of cost was associated in labor costs. I rate this job difficulty on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being easy) this job was a solid 10 due to the physical requirements of hard demolition, working with your arms over your head. and an 8 for design complexity
In the end, the costs associated was fully justified and the structural improvement and the elimination of water intrusion into the boat essentially rotting out the boat from the inside out was factor made this part of the refit mandatory.
i must say that satisfaction and piece of mind that i have knowing that the boat is structurally sound is very comforting. as I look up at the new roof I see strength. perhaps I over did it by building what is essentially an up-side-down hull for a rooftop.... oh well, I've never been accused of being sane anyways.
PS..... there is a part two to this which involves the roof overhang that raps around the boat. more on that later.

I love it. Thinking well outside the box to find a solution. The mental stress is devising the answer for a problem you’ll encounter once, do once, and be 100% correct when done with no dead ends to make you back up. No small amount of thought involved.

Wow! Incredible amount of work. When you’re done you will have a classic beauty that will have modern reliability, at a fraction of what the new yachts sell for. Aside from the fact that every time you roll into a new harbor she will be the queen and envy of anyone that loves boats! Question, the 30k, was that exclusive of the work you and the boys did? And did the 900 hrs include you and their time? Just curious. Massive project! Well done!
