I grabbed one of the Zumas this morning- the red one- all are reduced to $250. Dave has 3 others- complete boats- and they are a steal at this price! I was tempted to buy two, but I just don’t have the space for another, (unless it’s a SunfishI've seen your traffic control board, that's cool, first I have to name all my boats. I have a north boat yard and a west boat yard, when I need more room I cut a couple more trees. Danpal I saw one of the zuma's it was red and had been patched, there were two that he said were in pretty good shape and he liked them more than the sunfish. His name is Dave, he answered this #1860-379-2009, the boats were listed on facebook mrkt place, good luck.
I think most "salvagers" here would agree NOT to drill non-essential holes--except for inspection ports and mainsheet blocks.I'm going to take out the big blocks that belong way back behind the cockpit, there's just no way to get that one (maybe two) back in place. I will try to get the two skinny pieces back under the cockpit since they are clearly the structural ones. My other thought is take it all out, put some 5200 on a couple 2x4s and shove them under the cockpit area, then put some 1in long wood screws with washers and caulk through the cockpit bottom into the wood to make sure it doesn't move. Y'all know more than me, what's better? Also I sincerely apologize to the original thread starter for hijacking, didn't get any response to my thread New to me 1985 Zuma and the issue came up here.
Jeez, what did they hit... an iceberg?I don't have an inspection port in my hull, yet so can't help with that. I got a couple pictures of mine yesterday. Pretty rough repairs, anybody know what the two round holes in the gudgeon bracket are for?
My 20-foot O'Day Mariner has them, too.There's also some fiberglass ridges about an inch tall by two inches wide (stringers?) that run along the hull bottom and underside of the deck, they seem to add a lot of structural support.
