He was OK.Saw this photo posted on the Schiada FB page. What’s the details? Looks like a terrible crash. Hope everyone is okay.
Brutal. He had done a great job on that boat.He was OK.
Cruising a few weeks ago up by the Parker Dam. Took 3 hops. The 3rd hop he heard a loud noise and was in the water.
Boat was salvaged in 7 pieces.
I'm gonna guess there were already delam issues that weren't addressed. With upgrades power, she couldn't hang togetherBrutal. He had done a great job on that boat.
I heard the subfloor was removed up front and some of the glass might have been in question at the front stringers.WOW. More info please as I have one of those. Glad to hear he was ok.
This is what i heard too.I heard the subfloor was removed up front and some of the glass might have been in question at the front stringers.
I didn't push for answers so that is just another word on the street buzzin around my ears.
I'm just glad he was OK.
It is actually much cheaper to rebuild a Schiada with new stringers, cap the hull, new transom, new bulkheads & regal rather than lay a new hull up.Bummer and glad to hear he was safe, but not unexpected with these old layups. Without knowing the history on these older hauls, it is best to find someone that has a mold and start new. A new layup is much cheaper in the long run and the comfort knowing the structure is solid and if you have a top notch rigger you know the math is correct for setup and the horsepower being applied.
I did not say it was "cheaper"to start, but it is in the long run when shit like this happens! I have seen many boats with high horsepower come apart even when they were restrung by a pro.It is actually much cheaper to rebuild a Schiada with new stringers, cap the hull, new transom, new bulkheads & regal rather than lay a new hull up.
most thought the stringer was the strength, not realizing over time that wouldnt be the case........older boats would have the stringers wrapped in 3 oz and a cloth....time has told us to do more......nordic not only wraps with the oz requirement, but also puts a 30 oz directional on top of a coosa board stringer that is not wood........it is a foam and fiberglass mixture that doesnt rot, along with a heavy directional that will stand as the structural support on its own............many do this now, but not all
Correct. If any kind of power is going into a hull without the glass/wood thoroughly checked, it is destined for failure.I did not say it was "cheaper"to start, but it is in the long run when shit like this happens!

matt and cloth, with polyester........pre 90;s, that is everyoneThat boat was built in the 70’s with mat glass and polyester resin before they had bi-directional glass and vinyl ester resin.
That’s a lot of rot, for a boat stored inside.i will say this........knowing the matt cloth roving layups in the day, im shocked it broke like that, as a standard layup from schiada, i wonder if it wasnt a light layup of the times.......but that is my speculation, i'd have to see in person..................but you dont know the edge till you reach it at the time, hind sight usually tells you, and from the 70's, who knows, gotta see the glass to tell
Delam and a wave tractorWow...that had to be 3 BIG HOPS...this time of year just cannot imagine the river rocking/rolling to tear apart a boat... sux as it looks like a nice boat.
A new haul with any respectful horsepower is the only path for a build.I remember my first flat was a older Mako I had all redone all new glass, kick board, wood ect it was $6500.00 back in 2000. The guy I sold it to it came apart first pass. That shit always scares me.... but honestly mine sit on the trailer most their life so guess it doesn't matter lmao. When I decided to build one from ground up myself I had a new hull layed up, I just wanted that piece of mind. Im glad hes ok, that could have been bad.
