Hi Mate, Yeah weaved fiberglass is great, double bias is stronger I reckon for some applications. The weave is very strong on two directions. A combination of both is the best. With my little boat, it will be super strong as the stringers along with the floor will create a truss system plus I’ve added two extra stringers and cross stringers. Cheers 🍻 Aussie Boat Guy 😎
Sure Champ, Surprisingly I do have a video coming out this week on glassing that may answer your questions though. Also my transom video may help too, it’s on the channel Cheers 🍻 Aussie Boat Guy 😎
Thanks mate, I reckon When I’m done it will be about 40 - 50kgs heavier than the original hull. It will be over twice as strong though and hoping to put a 60 two stroke on. Cheers 🍻 Aussie Boat Guy 😎
Sure is a lot of work getting it right. I think I’ll stick with aluminium but the wasp sure is a nice boat. Wow a fish nipper, a sea wasp, 15hp and 30hp Mercury/ tohatsu. You have it all. 😊
Would love to a 60hp go on it, I’m just finishing my Haines v17l rebuild at the moment, very close to finishing. I’m already looking for a sea wasp for my next project, I’m ready for the itch again 🤣
@@MichaelMac-g5m Well done on your build mate 👌👌 Yep, the wasp is a classic, definitely a good one for you to get did your fleet 😁😁 Cheers 🍻 Aussie Boat Guy 😎
Hi mate, I get my Thermolite board from CCA (constructive composites Australia) and my resins from Fiberglass International. cheers 🍻 Aussie Boat Guy 😎
Hanging out to see more wasp content. Getting my inspiration high to start a build of my own.
Nice work, very thorough and clean.👍
Thanks mate,
I am enjoying my work on that boat.
Cheers 🍻

The boat is looking fantastic so far mate. Haines hunters are great boats.
Cheers mate 🍻
Agreed, love the Haines boats 😁😁
Nice work mate, love the wasp content 👌🏽👌🏽,
Cheers mate 🍻
She is going to be solid as, but still keeping weight in mind as I want it to be fast too.
All the best

Cheers mate,

Would using weaved fiberglass be stronger

Nice job,well thought out. How much extra weight do you think you added.
Thanks mate,

30hp😢 with a rebuild this good that wasp deserves minimum 50hp 😊

Hi mate,
Think it will end up with a 60.
Trying to build it strong but not too heavy as I do still want it to be fast 😁
Cheers 🍻
