I worked there from 2013 to 2015. I sprayed gel coat. My shift started at 7 PM. I didn't leave until about 8:30 AM. What the video doesn't show is prepping the molds for gel coat application. It was a very satisfying job. Oh and the stringer are made of flotation foam and wrapped with dry glass cloth so it can be wetted out during lamination.
Think of it this way, you want a yellow hull? We tape and plastic off where the white goes. We spray the color then we remove the the plastic and tape then spray white.
I know this is old but I've got to know. What's it like wearing all that PPE all day? Did you get hot? What do you do if you take a break? Did you take it off?
if they were built that well i wouldn't see videos of fully sunken sea fox boats. unsinkable means not on the bottom of the water way. sea fox is very sinkable.
It wasn't until the 1960's that boats started being made of Fiberglass.. Boaters were sceptically of Plastic Boats.. Plastics were just starting to become popular in the 60's.. Although, the Chevrolet Corvette was made from Fiberglass since their inception in the early 50's.. but, Corvettes had been made from Carbon Fiber for last 10 years.. Boats are next..
Thomas, there are quite a few seven-figure yachts made of carbon fiber. There are pros and cons to it - you can get the same strength as fiberglass with half the material, which makes the boat lighter (or, conversely, twice the strength for the same weight), the boat is stiffer if it's made of CF, and "I've got a carbon fiber boat" has the same "cool" factor as "I've got a Kevlar boat" did a few years ago. The problems are that the material is five times the price of fiberglass and it ain't goin' down because of the energy it takes to make carbon fiber, the stiffness also means your boat will beat the shit out of you in rough seas (which can be remedied by pumping in a lot of dense foam insulation, which makes the boat heavier), and carbon fiber, unlike fiberglass, gives no warning before it fails. If I had that much money, I would still go with a fiberglass boat.
One problem: he described the first thing sprayed into the mold as "an 18 to 21 millimeter coat of isophthalic gel coat." That should be "18 to 21 mil" - a mil is a thousandth of an inch. 18 millimeters is 3/4" and I really don't think anyone wants that much gel coat on his boat - especially the people at the boat factory who would have to buy the 100 gallons of gel coat (at about $150 per gallon) it would take to do it.
Pops Old Boats True, but there’d be about a million dollars worth of gelcoat on one hull. Paint would be better...Hatteras paints their boats, because the Imron they use is more durable than gelcoat.
Plastic GRP or FRP boats are tough, all-right...All my aluminum boats had cracks or loose rivets from pounding waves. Attempted steel construction...but couldn't get the weights and power ratios right.
Every boat factory seems to think they are like Rolls-Royce and charge accordingly. Meanwhile, people want boats that can get them places fast, provide overnight accommodations and not cost as much as fucking Private jet.
@@monster-pq7ln Whether its a 2 piece or 1 piece hull has nothing to do with the hull/deck joint type. Shoebox hul/deck joints are the weakest method of making this connection and are a hallmark of poor quality. the most common ( and strongest) method is an inward turned hull flange with the deck adhered AND through bolted. Its also the most expensive and laborious method. Screwing the joint together is just reckless!!
@@monster-pq7ln They know but are choosing lower labour costs as a priority (seems to be a powerboat thing...). Look at all the big builders. Jeanneau, Beneteau, Swan, Hanse, Catalina, Bavaria all use the inward turned flange method (walk around a boat yard and you'll see 99% are not shoe box assembly). Remember its costs more in time, labour and tooling to build a hull and deck for the inward turned flange/deck interface. And it cost more in labour to assemble as it takes 2 to bolt the deck down vs. some goo and screws!
Oh so they are only checked, and then double checked? No, gotta have a boat that was at least triple checked. Because I like to bitch about everything. Yes, I am bored, why do you ask?

Hello! I have a question for you, how do they do a 2 color Hull?
Think of it this way, you want a yellow hull? We tape and plastic off where the white goes. We spray the color then we remove the the plastic and tape then spray white.

Where the 2005 built the same
Wax Wax Wax.....
if they were built that well i wouldn't see videos of fully sunken sea fox boats. unsinkable means not on the bottom of the water way. sea fox is very sinkable.
Where are the videos? I love sunken boats

Hello iam buy your comapny boat plz send me your company detail.

My dream boat to fishing...i hope i can have it...

I had the same question, mistake for sure
But would that be nice for the life of the finish lol.I would never buff thorough that. Lol
What are you talking about it is not three quarters of an inch .0018 “to .0021 “ is what he is saying. 18 thousands to 21 thousands for the gel coat.
Donald Hyatt Go back and watch it again. He definitely said millimeter, not mil. Also, it’s .018, not .0018. Massive difference.

good boats 👍

Still using wood for stringers, all set with a sea fox boat
Lqlllllllll

true disconnect but hey, they sell too,,,,
muito bom curt
Shoebox hull/deck joint and screws? talk about the weakest possible hull/deck joint...
That's literally how two piece hulls are put together.

@@pierremitham2964 cool story. You should notify the hundreds of manufacturers that they are doing it wrong.

Junk boats.
