Great work !!! You do a great job woodworking and Being informative... Thanks a lot you inspired me to do some small restoration projects in my 1980 Jersey sportfish
Thanks. Makes me smile to know my videos can be inspiring to some fellow boaters. Thanks again for watching and commenting. I believe you're leading in the comments I have received this month. Keep it up. You're inspiring me to get working on the next video.- Cheers - Bob
water damage is the worst to deal with, whether its a boat or a house it can be an intimidating job depending on the damage. like you said you have to step back and take time explore thoroughly and deal with it step by step.
I agree. The boat suffered from more water damage than I expected to find when I first looked at it. It's not what you see but what you don't that gets you in the end. Thanks for watching and the comment. - Bob
Ohhh, the rear bulkhead of your salon was almost as bad as the bulkhead on my Luhrs. I had to remove the whole bulkhead; it was completely rotted top-to-bottom thanks to an unsealed seam between Formica-like laminate pieces on the exterior. What wood did you use for the wood rubrail? I heard you say it, but didn’t recognize it. For a fellow amateur boat restorer, and CAD guy, you’re doing an amazing job!
It sounds like our boats have suffered the same fate in many areas. It appears that they loved their formica back then. I was installed everywhere. I used Epe for the rubrail. It's a Brazilian hardwood. Used a lot for home patio decks. It's super hard and rot resistant. It is also pretty heavy and tuff on the tools so I used it only in areas that may see abuse. The rubrail & cockpit cover boards. Thanks for watching and the comment. - Bob

Geez .... Who would use wood in a boat if they didn't have too !!
Hmm! Good point. Thanks for the comment and watching. - Bob
They (whoever) should have known you never screw into the edges of plywood. Plywood by the way is always prone to water damage.
I had a hard time believing what I was seeing at the time. Thanks for the comment.
Can of worms! More like a barrel
Your description fits the situation much better. Thanks for watching and the comment. - Bob
