The boat would be a perfect boat for someone who is interested in a refit as I have done all of the hard labor on the two major items. The bottom has been taken down to the gelcoat, blisters repaired and has an Interlux Interprotect barrier coat just waiting for new bottom paint of the buyer's...

I am thinking about selling our Morgan 382. The boat would be a perfect boat for someone who is interested in a refit as I have done all of the hard labor on the two major items. The bottom has been taken down to the gelcoat, blisters repaired and has an Interlux Interprotect barrier coat just...

Had the opportunity to meet John and tour Quest yesterday afternoon in Gulfport Marina. I originally visited to see his cap rail replacement which I am currently in the middle of doing on my boat. Was really impressed with all the restoration work John has done, particularly on the interior. It...

John, can you check your conversations, I sent you a private message. Brian Zinser

Travis, drove 135 miles down to the scrap yard today only to find the bow pulpit still on the boat being damaged and not the same as my boat. I will be contacting the scrap yard tomorrow as i also need the forward gate stanchions which were off the boat. Perhaps they have them in their warehouse...

I have not posted in awhile as I am in the process of a new bottom job as well as replacing my cap rail and did not go in the water last season. About a month ago, the boatyard owner called me with the bad news that the heavy snow had caused the roof of the building I am in to collapse. Not...

John, I now have all of the cap and toe rail removed. Any wisdom to getting rid of the red colored caulk or bedding compound that was used - scrap, sand, solvent? Brian

Thanks John, I have already removed the wood trim thinking that would give me enough clearance to clear the fiddles. Obviously not so. I have thought about removing the flip board, but the square head screws are a little difficult to get to. I have it taped up.

Jim, thanks for the tip. I will also probably have to take the top off of my stove. I lucked out as the cabinetry behind the port salon settee already had access panels.

I posted this on my cap rail replacement thread but thought I would also create a separate post. I am trying to remove the cabinet on the port side above the stove/oven in the galley. I have the cabinet loose and can move it forward, but trying to get it out to gain access to the remaining 17...

John and others. Still have 17 bolts to remove from the port side. Need some help on removing the cabinet above the stove/oven. Have the four screws removed and the headliner. Am able to move the cabinet forward until I run into the fiddles on each side of the stove/oven and the cap over the...

Removed the starboard track today. Was not as bad as I thought it would be. Thanks to John Gonzales for the tips. Trying to get the port side done later this week.

Terry, I was at the yard yesterday and continued the removal. I know I will have to at least remove the forward two or three bolts on the track to remove the cap forward of the track. So far, every piece I have removed has rot. I'm thinking whoever ran a bead of silicon under the rub rail...

Removal of cap and rub is going o.k. Every piece so far has major rot. Wish I could find a decent Frearson bit. Anyway, have most of the rub rail removed and about 3/4 of the cap. Not looking forward to the track removal.

Dave, to add insult to injury, Someone put a small bead of silicon caulk along the bottom of the rub rail! Not only did water get in under the metal rub rail, it got trapped by the silicon seal. So far I have the rub rail off on the starboard side and it is all in very rough shape and not...

Well, was at the yard today. The yard owner who also comes from a boat building family (Vinette Trawlers) thought that the problem with the cap rail was that the fasteners were fastened into a rotten substance. Wrong, the teak was rotten. Regardless of whether I go the Plasteak or real teak...

Lee, I am aware of your redo. I have the cap broken where the fore port sling is placed. Was broken when I bought the bought. I agree, teak can rot. I too have a piece of the 1 x 1 in my garage. I really would like to talk to whoever owns this boat. I have asked Plasteak if they could put me in...

Vern, I would love to just refinish the teak. I have two major problems and some other minor ones. On the port side there is damage to the cap where the forward sling is placed. It was a problem when I bought the boat and the aft piece of this problem area is at least 10 inches under the track...

I started a bottom job in May and between work commitments and the horrible weather we have had here in the Upper Great Lakes, I doubt I will be able to launch before mid-July (we normally haul out here in mid-September). As a result I am not going to put the boat in the water this year. I plan...

Based on this thread, in case you have not seen this in Good Old Boat A boats bottom revealed by Steve Ruell Steve Ruell tackles a bottom paint job on his Morgan 382, but first he must remove the multiple layers. Years and years of antifouling succumb to chemical stripping. Resources: Peel...
