Refit of 3.8m Stacer Kipper. Ideas /help needed
Guys, am about to start on a refit of my stacer and whilst i have a few ideas am keen to see some of yours especially if the hull is the same. Id like to add a front and rear casting deck with hatches for storage and a floor. All sounds simple I know but am interested in the different ways of achieving this. Keen to see where / how batteries and fuel tanks are stored etc.
I'm also thinking of reconfiguring the thwarts so that they are narower and therefore increase the amount of storage available, but I have concerns of structural integrety of the hull by doing this. Any comments? Pictures of like fitouts would be greatly appreciated. Unfortuneatly a new hull is out of the question, not that its possible to buy a hull only apparently I have included some pictures of what I have to work with for your perusal.

Also I suggest doing a search on BM for the word fitout or fit out etc as there are plenty of ideas already posted from people who have done this to similar hulls. Also search muddleduck (JP's first bream boat was around 3.7m Savage Snipe I recall). With a boat this size the weight of heavy items such as batteries really need to be thought out thoroughly. It often pays to temporarily place something where you want it and trial run the boat before making it permanent. Most heavy items will need to placed centrally to avoid a lean obviously. Hope this gives you a start |

Stu, wise comments on the whole structual thing. I've had a bit of a think and a search here abouts. unfortuneatly, the search has'nt resulted in much however a look over some other material has revealed this. (see pics below)
I wonder how hard this would be to achieve?

Thanks MarkM. Looks a very informative thread. Will have a details look at it as time presents itself as am at work presently. Might have to get intouch with the author for some dimensions.
If any one has a similar pictorial on a 3.8m stacer.....please put it here for us all to see.

I did a similiar project a while ago on a Bermuda 3.7
I pulled out the middle Thwart but had the area reinforced with some flat bar and some box. Also had Gunnals (?) put around the boat. I'll try and dig up some pictures, can't seem to find the digital Camera at the moment
