Re: Aluminum hartop frame
Thanks Kevin. That's the right direction but a little "industrial". A guy I have spoken with said he came across a site that has marine grade aluminum pipe with sweeps, bends, sleeves, etc. for a complete, adjustable frame.... but he can't find it now. I used something similar for a consol...

Re: Aluminum hartop frame
Bayliner has no information. Hardtops were not OEM.
Hoping some of the fabricators here who source piping might know someone.

Aluminum hartop frame
It's been a few years since I've been here. Very grateful for the solid advice and expertize offered in the past. I hope this inquiry won't be considered blasphemous :) I've purchased a Bayliner 4588 for my retirement home. I have about 18 months to refit and upgrade. Money always will be a concern....

Thanks AAB [2000 MonArk Knight 160 structural]
After playing with a few concentrations I decided on 20:1. This stuff is strong and reminded me of my college inorganic chem course so many years ago. After leveling the boat I degreased below deck and flushed. Fifteen years of spent wire ties, beach sand and some organics came out. Then poured 20 g...

Re: 2000 MonArk Knight 160 structural

I've tried all the major truck supplies around Boston. Nada. No acid at all.

Re: 2000 MonArk Knight 160 structural
Thank you for your time and advice. I've researched the site and gleaned good information. I power washed the accessible bilge and am not happy with the looks so want to proceed with Kevin's recommendation above. Zep a-lume isn't available in less than 4 gallons with high shipping. I can get ALUMA_B...

Re: 2000 MonArk Knight 160 structural
Thanks again for your help on this. The boat has always been trailered and the bunks are short of the transom by several inches. I think the bouncing around over the past 15 years broke those welds. The shop I brought it to took a conservative [and appropriate I think ] approach to the fix. Here's a...

Re: 2000 MonArk Knight 160 structural
Thanks Kevin. You confirmed my feelings. I think the transom is poorly designed and poorly constructed. There's a 2000 40hp Merc on the boat. The boat is rated for 40hp. I was told it was originally purchased this way. I don't see any evidence of impact. I scratched up the leak locations to get a be...

Re: 2000 MonArk Knight 160 structural
Kevin - Thanks for the info. As far as plans are concerned - I wasn't looking for proprietary information. There are many instances where design plans are legitimately available to the public [and required to be so] - but not readily available on the internet. There can be many reasons for this, suc...

2000 MonArk Knight 160 structural
If anyone has structural plans of this boat it's appreciated. There are a couple of things going on with the transom and a detailed plan / cross section would be helpful before I start talking to a repair shop or cutting things apart. I've got a bunch of photos that I can upload if there is interest...
