Fibreglass Hatches: Made my Own From Scratch! (ep12)
Howzit Wesley, Boat is looking great! Excited to see it on the water again. I would like to make my deck non slip as well. What sand did you use and what did you use to make it stick before painting over it?
How's it keegan. Thanks for the positive feedback. I got some silica sand from a friend of mine. The best way I can describe it is that it look alot like pool filter sand just not so course. I rolled a thin coat of resin on the deck and sprinkled a very heavy amount with a corse flour sieve to get it even. Then left it for 24h to set then vacuumed up all the excess sand. Then I rolled a thin coat of poolcoat over the Sand. Only problem is the poolcoat take very long to cure because is put on thin. Alot of guys use 2k paint over the sand.
Wow, very nice it looks amazing we'll done. 👌I need to do the same to my deck.
@andrewbouwer4445 thanks Andrew appreciate it.
This turned out very nice , should pat yourself on the back !
@jeandre2395 thanks jeandre appreciate it.
Why not go to redhouse to show the Swartkops river there? It was hit bad as well
@jonodouglas that was the plan but ran out of time that day.
Looking good bud
@@Blackthumbditch thanks man appreciate it.
Looks very good! Seen so many times where guys are skint on laying the sand and it always look kak.
thanks man appreciate it. i think the problem with the silica sand is the guys sprinkle it of lightly. the bast way is to put a wet coat of resin down and put it on very heavy and just vacuum the excess off. i did a few tests because i didn't want it to look kak.
Nice work Wes , Looks really good. Proud of you and we are learning from you.
@gerhardusvaneyssen5774 thanks gerhardus I. Very happy with the end result.
Looking very smart Don't stress about the small imperfections even the best boat builders make small imperfections
@cylieclarke8938 thanks for the positive words. Now that the boats coming together I'm worrying less about the imperfections.
Lyk netjies. Wys asb hoe jy die motors gaan opsit. Wat dink jy van 2k verf?
@theooosthuizen2068 how's it going. My deck was done with 2k and sea sand when I bought but I found it was slippery once we had fish on deck and the 2k didn't last with anchor and chains ect on the deck. The decks nonslip is alot more aggressive now so I'm sure it will be much better. And the gelcoat will be more hard wearing compared to the 2k.
@@fishingPLZ Gaan goed die kant. Shot vir die inligting. Het n klein bootjie wat se dek ook aandag kort
Baie netjies! Al wat hy kort is n vis in die hatch
@Timo4535 shot. Soon we'll be putting some fish in the hatch.
Baie Baie nice 👌
@bernieblignaut7517 thanks really appreciate it
Looking awesome wes!!!!
@jacquesoneill3481 thanks appreciate it.
Hey Wes, lekker letting you know that there are bonnies and tail out at sea!
Soon soon I'll be out there again.
yor been loving these vids. this stockies made my day. suddenly cant wait to go fish again. keep the vids coming :) sub'd
How's going cr. Thanks for the sub and im glad you enjoying my videos. I'm also itching to go fish again.
@fishingPLZ plsr bud. I went to swartkops mouth the other day after the rain, just barbers. Waiting on better water. Good to see a local doing some YT vids.
@cr5162 that's one of my favorite rivers to fish.
looking smart
@SLIPKNOTFISHING thanks appreciate it. Like I said I'm not totally happy but it will do.
Nice Wes , appreciate the progress update
How's it going. I'll do another update after iv done the non slip.
Awesome work. Is the transom also mycell 80 undeneath the carbon?
@delkovanderwalt45 how's it. No it's coosa board
It's very nice, alot of work, but almost done. You will feel so good when you get back out there on your own boat, and catch fish again. Don't worry about the lines on the gel coat.
@andrewbouwer4445 how's going. Alot if work but my biggest problem was time I only work on it a few hours a week if the weather allows. Out of the whole rebuild the gelcoat is the biggest disappointment. But like a said it's a fishing boat not a million rand yacht 🤣
Lyk baie Netjies! Lyk jy sal desember klaar wees.! Baie baie werk. 🎉
Thanks. Yes it has to be finished before I go on leave.
Very nice Wes , almost there. Would sponge roller not work? Keep up 👍
@francoismulder2106 how's it going. The problem with gelcoat is it need to be put of thick so it can dry properly a sponge roller put it on to thin then it takes for ever to dry. Yes almost there
Looking good Wesley. Rely nice . ❤
Shot my bud. It's almost there. Just pulling my hair out, applying this gelcoat .I just don't have the technique.😭
@@chrisbeling7350 👍💯%
Please find my lures!!
@ferrosjewellers4558 🤣 I'm not the only one diving there. Because I'm a fisherman I'm always on the look out
When's the next update
@cylieclarke8938 how's it going cylie. Hopefully soon. Iv haven't don't much work in the last few weeks been busy with a few other things. And the weather's been way to hot to work with flowcoat. I have a large area to do so I need ideal condition.
Looks good Wes . Getting there bud
@@chrisbeling7350 soon by bud
Is this the 15ft6 model?
@delkovanderwalt45 yes that's correct.
Hi there how are you doing today I would like to know if you also did your transom on your ace craft and how did you do it
@janlabuschagne7234 how's ot going? Yes, I did redo it but lost the footage so I didn't do an episode. I did it with coosa board and bonded it in with 2 layers of 450g chopstrand matting and covered it with 2x 450 chop and one layer of woven roving for some strength
Very Very nice Wes!👌👍
@francoismulder2106 thanks appreciate it👌
Lat loop! Hard work pays off :)
Thats the plan until it's finished.
Looks good bud.
@vernonjjf thanks many hours of blood sweat an tears.
Holy shit ,when was this?
@@Timo4535 yesterday

Ya it's hectic.
Comming on there Wesly looking good

Where did you get those blocks of zonder foam
@heimieviviers9585 how's it. It came in boxes holding body panels. That's why the shapes so strange.
Awesome, I've watched all your videos in this collection, I'm excited, I've also got a ace craft that is my project, these videos have helped me get ideas
@privatenoodle1049 how's it going. Glad Iv given you some unprofessional guidance. It's been a huge learning curve for me but I'm almost done and iv learned alot. Just a pitty it went from a 3 month project to a 2 year one. Good luck with your project it's legit blood sweat and tears.
Nice Wes looks good , close indeed back to the waters
hoping to be done in a few weeks.
Looking good, must be excited.
@andrewbouwer4445 you have no idea. This project has taken way to long. Still alot of finishing of to do but the foam was a big milestone.
Lyk goed!!!
@iwanstarbuck5498 thanks. Was a mission but it's done now. Longest game of Tetris iv ever played🤣
Enjoying your videos of the Noordhoek trips.......considering selling my cabin boat
@iwanstarbuck5498 how's it going glad you enjoyed it. Try keep the river boat. It's nice so fish river ever now and then. Deep seas hard work.
❤
Hello what is the name of the boad you make the ribs and bulkheads with.
Hi it's called mycell 80 and you can get it from aerontec
I also find if you barely lift the jig off the bottom. Just bounce it on the bot. Even if you let the jig lie on the bottom for a bit. 4 assists works best. Well done tho'
I let the jig hit bottom then I'll jig it up a few times then let it sink to the bottom again. 4 assist hook work well but you need to be super careful when you handle the fish . those hooks are super sharp.
Hi Wes. I find the hake have soft mouths. Do you find you lose fish if you strike too hard?
how's it. I strike fairly hard because of the depth water we fish. most of the time there's a bow in the line from the current.
👍👍
You guys dont show us what bait and tackle u using in jore vedeos😀😀👍👍
@AswanAllison-w1i ok keep an eye out for the next video and I'll run through the tackle and bait we use. I haven't been fishing much as I'm trying to finish refurbishing my boat. But soon we'll have a few new videos coming.
👍😀
👍😀
Good videos. Getting confused by day 1 and day 2 . But then its differant years.
How's it going yes iv done it a few years. The latest one will be 2024..
Really like the content. Thanks
Glad to hear it! Once the boats done I'll have alot more coming.
Maybe try a big/wide profile jig if you are not getting bites on the small jigs. Flash on the assist hooks should entice a reaction bite. Works sometimes for me. Tight lines
How's it James Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely get a few wider jigs for the next time we find them. Thanks for watching.
Very Very nice Wes !! Looking beautiful ! 👌💯%
Nice and lightweight 2x 40 HP will take you anywhere on our coast. 3 on board, 40l of petrol ⛽ cheap, cheap! Keep up Wes👌👍
That's weight of 520kg is that with out bouyancy
@@cylieclarke8938 yes its the lightweight weight without buoyancy.
Incredible wieght drop planning on doing the same with my boat
It's alot of work but so far it's worth it. It's going to be a few hundred kilograms lighter and will never get water logged again.
Wow that's looking good so far, tremendous weight saving will surely improve performance as well, well done.
