#TransomReplacement #Boat #Repair
I basically restored my entire boat because of you sir.... much respect
Andy, I think I speak for everyone here... Your videos are *never* too long.
~Hans
is true.
Don’t care what I’m doing... I drop everything every time a new boatworks today video comes out.
John Christopher me too.....he said he didn’t want to leave us with a cliffhanger....and yet he did....oh well waiting till the next vid.....
lol well....I like it so much I decided to go out and buy an old Bertram from the 70's.....tell your wife it could be worse! (I own several current gen boats, but wanted a project boat).
Andy 15 minutes, 30 minutes or two days, your vids could never be too long, super interesting and just a joy to watch,.
Even with the minor imperfections in the first lay up of glass I have to say you have done a much better job then when the boat was originally built. You definitely are an artist with glass and this comes from someone with 28 year's experience in automotive body repair!
Great one. Thank you
Can't wait for the fairing episode! Thankyou for making these videos 🖒
So glad you got to this vid, have been waiting to see more on this project, thank you !!
Good to see you back making a video again. I know it takes time away from trying to get work done while making a video at the same time and also trying to make a living while doing so. SO, thank you as always.
I have missed watching your videos. Thankyou for continuing to make them!
Thanks, Andy! Great video with informative comments. Looking forward to watch more..
Thanks again Andy for another Quality training session. And they are not too long, Excited to watch the continuation Video.
Your videos are not to long by no means. They are educational so they need longer than what you are making now because we are here to learn from you. I believe 45 minutes are perfect. You used to make a lot more videos than now and that’s one reason so many people watched and made you a big RUclips success. Please make more often or make them longer please. When they are spread out so far you mess your alga rhythm up on RUclips . Thanks 👍👍
Give me another month, might have a big announcement ;-)
BoatworksToday great man your videos have helped me so much and I appreciate it ! Take care 👍👍
You know Andy, I like watching others work. I never get tired. Keep it up....
I knew you would be back and I don't mind the wait. You always put a great video together. I have looked at previous videos multiple times in order to do the job right the first time. Thank you for sharing.
Love the vids, just started a job assembling military boats and yachts and I’m already in love. Your videos are very helpful
Andy! Where have you been? Nice to see you back. I look forward to all of your videos. Keep them coming! Thanks
Liked the clarification on layering, thanks!
Hey Andy,good to see you back again.Thanks for 'splannin your thought process on small to large lamination.Gonna be time to start winterizing soon here in Metro Detroit,even though it got up to 92 today.Thanks for posting.
Thanks for another good video. I learn something new from you each time.
Come on Andy, I could watch you work for well over an hour! Your video is not too long! 😂
Looking forward to the continuation....
What a great job and tons of info, Thanks for sharing! You sure make it look easy and it is very much NOT easy! You have great skills my friend!
So glad you're back! I really enjoy your videos.
Fantastic as usual!! Well done, thanks for all your tips and tricks.
I came over here because I am making shelving units out of foam board with epoxy, and stayed because I love your explanatory style.
I have absolutely no need to know what products are best for boat building, but I watch anyways.
I just noticed your in the new shop. I guess I missed some footage. It's strangely satisfying to watch you soooo not sure whom is weirdest lol you or us the audience lol
Great video! Glad to see your still at it!
I think it's really great how you are helping other boating channels, like Mads from Sail Life. It really speaks to your character and I know those of us who watch boat restoration channels appreciate it! I only wish others would reach out to you since I see so many folks doing so many wrong things, I fear for their lives if they ever launch the boat they are working on. Keep up the fantastic videos!
Love the little kids voice giving the close out : )
Love it. So informative. Always worth watching
I love the production boat reference concerning bubbles. Whaler isn't the most integreous company. We found a fin roller laminated into the corner of one transom repair. I won't start in about their laminating. Good job dude!
Thanks for the video i always enjoy your narration and tips
Thanks for sharing Andy.... Awesome...
Ziploc bag with the corner cut off saved my whole world!
Good Vlog! I enjoy working with any fiberglass such as dive board, swimming pool, vehicles and of course boats. Lot of people don't understand the fiberglass. The fiberglass is forever but not the wood. Keep going what you are doing double thumb up!
Andy I love your videos and I get super stoked when I see a new one come out.
I like your videos about the length you make them, 20-30 minutes. Long enough to learn something, short enough that I can watch them anytime.
Thanks again for the time and effort to squeeze these videos into your work schedule, I appreciate it very much.
Awsome work my only complaint is that I now have to wait for the next episode. Haha. Love it. I have never worked with fibreglass at all and used to think of it as a sort of something you would have to be a chemist or "wizard" to use. Watching this channel and a certain Danish fellow, you guys have shown me that it is fairly simple and straightforward. I'm hoping to get a vessel to sail away in someday and these vlogs help give me confidence to be able to do some of the work myself. Thanks for sharing.
Videos aren't never too long, actually for me the longest the better as I really enjoy watching your videos. I don't mind watching 30 minutes videos, I'm always wanting more videos to watch.
Your videos are a joy to watch. My business is installing window film on flat glass (houses/businesses) and there's something very satisfying about certain parts of the job. I can totally identify with your comment on the roller.
Thanks Andy. It’s been too long I’ve missed you!
I do so enjoy the very educating videos. Thank you sir.
Fascinating as usual. Back when dinosaurs ruled the earth, my father built plywood boats at the old Yellow Jacket boat company in Denison, Texas, so I have always enjoyed all aspects of boat work. As others have noted, when you put up a new video, everything else can wait for a bit, I have to sit down and watch it.
Andy thanks was missing you and the videos they cant be long enough
Recently came across your videos as I'm in the process of replacing the transom on my 15ft 1967 steury. Have been more than helpful! I'm still in the process of tearing out the wood...those last few inches on the bottom are a bear..I havent tried the chainsaw wheel tho 😀..ive been waiting for this video as I've never used or worked with fiberglass so trying to learn everything I can before getting to that point. thanks for what you do....man lol
The more I watch the craftsmanship and pride that goes into this type of work the more I can and will appreciate the money I end up paying out for the work to be done once I buy a used boat. I initially had ideas of doing this myself, but at 60 and in not so great shape or stamina, I will leave it to the pro's. There are a few reputable shops here in NC, which are of course about 2 1/2 hours from me, but whatever it takes.
Well worth the wait! Fantastic as always.
You make great videos! I spent years maintaining the University of Hawaii's lasers and fj's which is where I learned to HATE fiberglass. I recently fulfilled a dream and bought my own sailboat and your whimsical yet professional work gave me the confidence to overcome my fear of working on my boat... and now I have a great sailboat that is better than new!Plus... I never thought I would ever see someone that - for no reason other that its fun - would draw smiley faces on their work.Thank you for your videos. They rank higher to me than hurricane warnings. I can live with a storm, not having boatworks videos though.... that's depressing. :)
Excellent !
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing
Great vid as always. Thanks for sharing, Andy. :)
Enjoy the videos! Keep them coming.
Agreed---never too long!!!
Hello there all the way from Zimbabwe. I love your videos and really glad you've posted one about a transom replacement. I have a 19 foot Cabin Cruiser made in Zimbabwe by a company called Pane's Boats. It used to have a OMC 3.4 ltr stern drive but have found a newer 5.7 ltr OMC daddy King cobra inboard outboard unit that I would like to fit into it. I will have to redo the transom because the hole is much bigger for the old stern drive unit and the newer one a smaller hole.
I’ve drilled voids in my layups with a 1/32 drill bit and injected them with epoxy. Seems to work really well
very good video, Andy Its real world,, the things you pointed out in the end will and do happen to alot of folks we all learn like this great job,, as you know these are easy fixes I might add or suggest you add a section of foam on the cap and the inside coroners easy to shape and much less air in the laminate ,
Great video!
Glad to see that we all make mistakes, but it doesn't ruin the final finish or project in the long run ;)
Love your videos!
Great Tutorials Mate. Really appreciate your work, Thanks So Much.
I think I would have given up on my boat if it weren't for your channel.
Love your newer format, talking over video as work is being done. Allows you to pack in the verbal detail while showing the actual hands on. Much better than a year or two ago when there was more discussion and verbal explanation than hands on. Great job!!
When will the fairing/gel-coat video be ready?
Great vid
mate, all i can say is you have a new fan and subscriber, cheers from Australia
good one, thanks mate!
Andy, I am certainly not questioning you. I was under the impression that Vinyl Ester did not adhere to epoxy? Thanks again for your videos. They are fantastic.
I had been waiting weeks to see how this came out. Was wondering if your ever going to make any videos involving and foam based materials for strength instead of plywood? Also would love to see you go into detail on your thoughts on 1 stage paints vs gel coats. Thanks
HI
Good job! In case you missed it. There is unaccelerated Vinylester where you ad accelerator like cobalt yourself. This makes the shelf life alot better. Just be careful: NEVER MIX ACCELERATOR AND PEROXIDE-! explosive!!!
Keep up the good work!
Best regards Johan
Your work looks good man👍🏻
I would have just bagged and infused it all in one shot with the color matched GP 😂 and just had to shoot a finish pass with matched gelcoat and been done with the entire job in one day😂👍🏻🏁
Andy ive had to talk to my wife for over a month and i hold you responsible ! please more videos more regularly !
Super 77 is amazing, but use it in a very well ventilated area!
Great vid J O !!!
Im at this stage now with my 1996 Tempest 16 Ft Bowrider. All the "hard work" is done lol
put a cover plate on your switches please, always learning from you thank you!
thanks
Awesome video, always! You are my go to for check for everything. Question, would you recommend doing this same practice on a transom without the different elevations of the transom as the 25 Whaler? I am working with a transom on a 22-2 fishing center console ( Aquasport) and the core is shot. However, the liner and floor is still good and its a classic so I do not want to disrupt the inside liner at the moment like most rebuilds I see done. Your input is greatly appreciated.
Hey u do work on boat for customers love your work u take pride in it good job boss
Great job . Erik in Sweden
Started watching your videos after researching fiberglass techniques (considering restoring an old center console bay boat). I appreciated this video most of all, quick and to the point. Thank you!
As the glass man in a busy shop here on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, may I say "Job Well Done" ..... I have 4 or 5 transoms in front of me to do as we speak, I wonder how many ive replaced in the past 44 years? ..... Thanks for the video.
Andy where have you been ? waiting over a month for next video keep them coming!
Love yer videos
Honestly, I don't know how you can stand to do all of that sanding! I did one project 2 years ago (gel coat removal, hull repair, and re-coat everything) - thanks for your help, Andy - and I still can hardly stand to look at a sander after all the hours I spent grinding away. You have the patience of Job!
Seems like if you're sanding too long it is proportional to the type of sandpaper you're using. I've definitely seen a difference in sandpaper from the 80's vs.todays stuff. Not sure what everyone else is experiencing?
Looks great! How come you don’t blend and lay layers into the bottom of the boat along with the top and ea side? I would think that would be the most critical joint of the transom repair? She’s really looking great!
Good 👍
Great seeing another episode on the transom. Keep the videos coming!!! Hope it's not another lengthy hiatus before the fairing episode! Hahaha!
I deserve a little ribbing ;-) It's been a crazy busy past couple months!!
@@boatworkstoday I completely understand, you know I was just busting your chops. Always good to be busy than not; make that money while you can!
@@boatworkstoday You might be busy because you do quality work, that layup looked like it bonded to the core of my soul. When my resin starts to pop off i just stop and let it harden while I prep other jobs. Then come back and start laying up again, sometimes it takes longer but I dont have an ocd fit over the bubbles.
Vinylester is good for a transom, much stronger than poly. You can’t get me away from my epoxy though. I epoxy over glass but never glass over epoxy.
Come on Andy, you KNOW you wanted to say "Sanding, Glorious Sanding" at 1:18 LOL!!!!
Awesome job! What is the reason for “sealing up” with the gel coat and pva, then sanding most of it off before applying more glass? Thanks!
I really wish your videos were longer actually. I’m interested in the process and thought process as well. Don’t worry about video length bro.
I wish you were in the texas area i would love to come learn this in person
I concur with the rest of the audience, your videos are too short. I'd blame the quality of the content though; it's brilliantly done! Can't wait to see how it looks when you're done.
Do you use styrene monomer instead of acetone for cleaning and reactivation between cured layers, for example if work continues the next day or several days later?
You should do one for covering holes on teak
Nice video - you got my Thumbs up!
But I did notice something that I thought was a BIG NO NO!! I worked in boatyards for 5 years and was always told to NEVER cover epoxy with polyester (or Vinylesteer?) because of epoxy's outgassing!!! I would love to hear your reply! Keep up the great videos!!!
For the most part you're correct but there are ways with West System epoxy that it can be done. First is letting it cure for a few days, then clean and sand very well for bonding. I would not do it over a large area but by the time everything was sanded flat and shaped there really wasn't much epoxy left. Also the glass itself was wrapped over it on both sides so there was still quite a bit of area that was laying onto the original poly / vinyl surface :-)
Eventually I’ll need this done.. I dread the day. Maybe I just make a road trip and drop it off with you..
I enjoy all your videos.you are very professional and have been very helpful.I have a 1960 all-star 16 ft boat,with a1959 35hp evinrude motor.I am the second owner and would like to find out more information about it.do you have any recommendations on where I could find out the value and where it was made.Thank you in advance.
What would you say is the best way to bond a new wood core in a transom replacement? With a good solid outer hull. Epoxy/polyester or vinyl ester. Also replacing stringers and floor using polyester resin Good idea or not?
Thanks!
Great video as always. I have a 50 year old sailboat and the deck has a million cracks in the topcoat and is wearing away in places. Should I do like you did on that sailboat and put a layer of fiberglass down? or can I get away with just priming and new gelcoat? The deck itself is solid, no softspots,etc.
Hey Andy, I'm just about to embark on this same repair this exact model boat. Would you mind sharing the volume of resin you used? Any other materials/consumption info would be great, but the rest seems discernible from your video. Thanks for your very helpful insights!
Great video, quick question on the 9 layers you first laid up on the transom. You had sanded a taper from the bare wood to the edge of the original fiberglass, did you cut the new glass to blend with that taper small to large or were they all the same size then deal with the thicker layup on the edges? Thanks
