Recently bought a circa 1985 17' fiberglass Pisces by Current Designs.
I'm interested in fixing it up (fixing/improving for use, not fully restoring to original condition) and am looking for advised improvements. The rivited in place clear plastic attachment rings for rear access hatch (terminology?) have broken off. Are replacements available and should these be drilled out and re-rivited? The glass bucket seat slides freely inside glassed in channels on each side. It looks like there were once small bungee cords running from glass bulkhead behind seat to attachments in front of seat. Glass channel coming up at each end. Is West Systems epoxy, or regular resin, with weighting, a good fix? What is best way to secure seat (mini-cell foam under seat)? Is there an advised replacement seat system for comfort, adjustability, etc.? (I have an older Wavesport WW kayak seat sitting around which will fit inside boat). Front bulkhead is a piece of 1 1/2" styrofoam caulked in place (presently removed for repair/cleaning. Is there a better solution for forward bulkhead (such as 3" minicell w/ rigid layer)? What are advised cements/glues/caulks for these purposes? Anything else you can tell me about the Pisces in general will be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. |
