Lame didint show sea trial

Did you not screw the deck into the stringers?? If not, it supposed to be a floating deck that's only fiberglassed onto the gunnels?

Your starting to loose me with your carelessness of sealing up the wood

I just feel for such a bigger style boat, you just don’t have enough 1708 fiberglass over your stringers for structural support compared to all the other videos I’ve watched

Y you didn't used card box

You’ve been keeping us in suspense! When do we get a sea trial video??

Thanks for sharing!! I’m looking forward to seeing all the progress from video to video. I recently picked up a ‘74 Wellcraft 15’CC. Mine was all intact but of course I’ve already had to cut out the decking over the bilge because it was soft. All the old foam is water logged and next is to keep cutting the deck to see how far up the soggy stringers go. Thanks again! I’m already getting some good lessons from ya 🙏

I just finished your series, we'll done sir! I know very little of boats and you made this look like fun to do. Anyways congrats on the baby and y'alls boat from Buxton, NC!!

This video is awesome man! We talk and think pretty much the same way, so this is really gonna help me out with my bow build

Priming the wood prior is key. That will probably work for a while til it pulls apart. Never only give yourself a couple days! Unless you are pro grade. Good video bud. Big project.

You will be pumping gas on the port side and the vent/ overflow is on the starboard side at the stern. Does not make sense.

Pleasedo not move the fuel vent to the back of the boat it will be under water many times. Leave it near the filler.

Super proud of you! We need an on the water video after watching all 25

You need to register the boat and trailer 😮

Been waiting for this "episode'... Boat looks great! Looking forward to seeing her float! Can you tell me how much resin you burned through on this project?

What are you calling the peanut butter? Is that just like kitty hair body filler?

I gotta have the valve for my hose wide open or it won't "pee". Water sprays everywhere but it works

the control end of the cable use a short connector bro. they come in pack when you get a new yamaha control

next time add pigment of what color you want the boat to the fiberglass resin. you wont have to paint it again its is there to stay.

You don't know what your doing don't put out a video people will copy you

How much did it cost so far?

Twice the cost, and three times the time is my motto for projects. Haha hoping it all works out!

Fun series to watch! I'm excited to see it hit the water. My only concern with the vent location is gas fumes and electrical don't mix. Make sure you seal that vent to hose connection real tight.

heat shrink cough, double clamp fuel hoses <3 grazts on the kido!

Tea , desert , and soup spoons are good for filleting .

You been breathing to many reisin funes!😊😂😊

What a moron, taking all the strength out of those stringers

Love that you don't edit out the mistakes. Keep it real man love the boat content!

Why not bracket the transom and provide extension? Just curious. I know it can be $$, but with the model you have curious if it would help or hurt the ride?

11:50 Id skip the entire rubber rub rail part and just bolt and nut that stainless insert with 5200 it comes out strong and solid have done quite a few already without any issues rubber is just extra hassle brother

That foam insulation for a template, just saved me some pain my friend. Cutting a piece of plywood to cover my front seat to bow on 14' aluminum skiff :)

Should of used a large dry wall taping knife. You could of just dump the whole cup and hit it with the knife and would have been so much easier

No sanding or poly fairing ?

Need stringers on the port and starboard sides, so that your decking has something to sit on at the edge.

We need an update

Just wandering? Did you take into consideration how much 80 some Gallons of Fuel is going to way when sitting the tank on top of the PVC and when way you mounted the tank?

Everybody has to use channel locks to open pvc glue. They intentionally make it tight bc it leaks if you dont. When you close it use same method .especially the purple shit

the white color in stb. side is water reacting with the resin. if the mat is moist when used, it look like that.

Note to others.....put a bunch of pull strings in the pipe when you're rebuilding the deck/stringers/etc. Makes pulling wires, steering hoses/cables, etc....SIGNIFICANTLY easier than fishing them through with a snake.

Dude scares me when he works on the boat thank god for the friends lol

Yup that teek is only ganna last a season lol

Welcome to the club! Your boat looks great! It is absolutely a bag of mixed emotions to do something like this, but in the end, it's all worth it! Everything takes longer than expected, costs more, and plans are nothing more than hopeful dreams like winning the lottery 😂. My experience wasn't as involved as yours. But I have a 15ft Terry bass boat that sat for almost 5 years. I had zero plans for it other than taking it to the dump. I one day hooked it up to my truck to tow it to the dump. I pulled it about 2ft and the tongue of the trailer broke off. It was full of dirt, weeds, and had a tree growing out of it. I started removing junk out of it and before I knew it, I had it cleaned out. All electrical, flooring, transom, and steering were shot. The motor was completely unknown from sitting uncovered for years. I spent weekends and weekdays ripping out the flooring, stringers, and transom. I took the fiberglass shell and power washed it. With no experience with any of this, I purchased lumber from the local retailer and started to measure and cut. I tried getting help from online forums, but got so much mixed information. One poster would say you are doing fine, and another would say everything is wrong and I am basically a moron 😂. But anyway, the existing stringers and transom were nothing more than dust. I got treated wood and let it dry in the summer sun for about 3 weeks after cutting. I used West Marine epoxy and fiberglass cloth to install all new stringers that I bonded to the hull with marine 5200. I painted the inside hull with oil based paint and poured marine foam everywhere except the center. I epoxied 2 pieces of 3/4 plywood for the transom which I think is more than enough for a 40hp Yamaha engine. I also installed a 3/4 floor that is fiberglassed over and painted it I sanded the outside of the boat and used my sprayer for a nice paint job. I installed all new hardware, wiring, switches, etc. The motor was a HUGE HUGE challenge! I spent countless hours over the course of a month removing stuck and broken bolts. I have never gone through so much pb blast, cursing, and throwing things in my life! Phuck saltwater outboard stuck bolts!! It was a 1990 Yamaha 2 cylinder 40hp engine. The local marine machine shop gave me good advice. I opted for 2 new sleeves, new pistons, rings, carb rebuilds, and some other stuff. He said I was doing it right and it would run like new. With no outboard experience, I had him assemble the block. He provided me with the rest of the gaskets. He also told me to bring the motor to him before starting to check everything including timing and to adjust the carbs.... The motor fired right up and I followed break in exactly how he instructed me to. I'm sorry, I'm babbling 😂. My point is that restoring a boat is the 💩 est job, but extremely rewarding! I know I probably did some things the pros would laugh at. But after 4 years, she still floats and the motor is touch key start!

That’s sucks on the fuel situation

Question I desperately need answered lol, do you secure the new plywood to the stringers in anyway such as peanut butter or screws or is it just sitting on top and fiberglassed on ?

I am enjoying your boat rebuild. Congratulations on the soon to come addition to the family. In my experience it takes a special woman to put up with a husband with a boat project, I can imagine my wife being pregnant while I was working on such a project. She must be very special and supportive. You will be on the water soon. With great respect.... Joe

You can oil wood to protect it, why not just rub all the wood down with hydraulic fluid so it all matches, and it will be protected too.

You was suppose to wet out the floor and hull first then put down the 1708 then wet out the 1708 that way you rool out the air bubbles they got fiberglass rollers for that

Why in the world, would you not have a set of fiberglass rollers, to get all the airbubbles out....??
