  • If you have ever wondered how a custom fiberglass boat is built,from start to finish, then this is the video for you! From separating the boat mold from the mold pattern, to spraying gelcoat, laying down layers of fiberglass,installing twin yamaha outboard motors and everything in between. My family has been building and repairing fiberglass, and wooden boats professionally since the 1960s. We have built hundreds of custom boats, and have done thousands of fiberglass and gelcoat repair jobs, repairs such as gelcoat refinishing, transom, stringer, and floor replacements, just to name a few. I hope you enjoy this time lapse video version of the build of our custom 29 ft center console! If you do, please remember to subscribe, like, comment and share! Thanks so much for watching!

    I really loved this video. What a fantastic build you did on that boat. It’s really something to be proud of.
    My dad was a self employed wooden boat builder back in the 50’s and 60’s. He would build a jig and then build a boat on it. Then he would take it out on puget sound and test it. After that he would tweak the design and build another. Being a wood design, changing the jig wasn’t very hard. Building a fiberglass mold like you did must have been incredibly difficult.
    I was amazed at how good your hull design is. For the size of boat it is and speed it goes the wake is really small. It seems very efficient but still seemed to have enough V to work well in rougher water. The way you shaped the lower part of the bow was really interesting. I bet my dad would have loved to talk to you about your design.
    I remember one time dad took out a new design and was throwing it around like crazy. He had the biggest grin on his face. He was very satisfied with that one. Very stable yet quite fast.
    I bet he would have loved your channel.
    Man, those Yamahas go like crazy!

      Wow, thanks! It sounds like your Dad and mine had a lot in common! My father also built wooden boats early in his career but switched to fiberglass in the early 70s. I have built some small wooden skiffs, and we even did one welded aluminum gillnetter a few years back, but fiberglass boats were always the most popular in our area.

    instead of trying to pour expansion foam you could spray it. they come in 2 tanks that look like Propane Tanks maybe 1 and a half feet tall but girthy. 2 hoses conecting to a gun wich has tiny disposable mixing nozels. stick it into a hole and pump it in. we used that at Brüggen were we made trailers for Krone.

    • @FishBumpTV

    Amazing, a lot of work there for sure but a really nice quality job you are making of it for sure. One thing I'm not sure of, is what your fiberglass core material is, you did refer to it several times but I am unable to identify it. So the QUESTION, what is your fiberglass core material?

    • @FishBumpTV
      @FishBumpTV  2 месяца назад +1

      Thank you very much! The core material we used for the construction of our custom 29 is called Coosa board. It is a fiberglass reinforced composite panel that has similar strength and working characteristics of marine plywood but is lighter and rot proof. I have been using it for years in our families boatshop with very good results. I have 25 videos here on the channel documenting the build of the 29 in high detail, with many of those videos showing how we work with the Coosa board, along with lots of other fiberglass and boatbuilding DIY content. I hope this helps, and I appreciate you watching!

    A comment. The sailboat I race, the original 5 were cold moulded plywood. Something like 180 hrs per hull. The guy that bought #6, back in 1959, wanted the new fangled fiberglass. They used #5 to make a female mould. And, if I remember correctly, the first fiberglass hull took 18 hr. Don't quote me exact times, the history is a little foggy. I know #36, from around 1960- 61, is still racing well.

      There is a product called a EZ pump, it's made by T and H marine. It is basically a transom scoop that goes over the thu- hull fitting and drives water into the pump when the boat is up and running. They work great, and are not expensive at all. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching!

      It is my original design. Our family has been building boats professionally since the 60s. Our last name is Buskens, and that what they sold as. The boat is 29 ft overall. You get a stronger boat by having screws and adhesive vs. just adhesives holding the boat together. Thanks for watching!

    • @FishBumpTV
      @FishBumpTV  2 месяца назад +1

      I use the Bluewater 26 pound density Coosa board, which holds screws better than the 15 or 20 lb density. I always use an adhesive, along with screws when working with Coosa board, and haven't ever had any problems. We have put almost 5000 miles over water on our 29 this year, and everything looks great. of course, the size and type of screws, as well as the adhesives you use, could make a difference. I hope the helps and thanks for watching!

      Glad you enjoyed the build video of our custom 29! The core material we used in this build is called Coosa board. It is made in central Alabama. Most large fiberglass distributors keep it in stock. I have several videos here on the channel showing how we work with coosa board and lots of fiberglass and gelcoat related videos as well. I hope this helps and I appreciate you watching!

    About the pvc pipe, is that the only plastic that will bond well when glued with resin?have you tride testing how well the resin stick to it?, i tried using other types of plastics and it just a waste of time, except that I gained a knowledge that it won't work

      The pvc pipe has to be cleaned with acetone first. Then, sand or grind the pvc pipes surface very thoroughly. I personally like to wrap the pipe with fiberglass before installation if possible. Once it's fiberglassed, other fiberglass will bond to it quite well, or at least it has for me. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching!

    Is that the mold you are trying to sell? Have you asked the Navy?

    Hello, captain Buskens, the first layer when spraying the mold with GELCOAT should or should not have wax in it ? I can’t get the boat shiny out of the mold . I can’t pin point where am I going wrong. Please give me a hint

    • @FishBumpTV

      You would always want to use a non waxed gelcoat when you are building a part in a mold. The gloss or shine on a fiberglass part is directly connected to the gloss or shine in the mold itself. If the mold doesn't shine, the part will not shine. It is also VERY important to thoroughly wax the molds prier to applying gelcoat, especially to a new mold. I have always applied 5 to 7 coats of high temp mold release wax on a new mold, and then 1 or 2 coats between each following part. Our how to build a mold- Hard top series of videos shows the steps in full detail. I would recommend watching Episodes 6,7,8, and 9 from start to finish, and pay attention to every detail. If you miss one step in the process,it will definitely affect everything! I hope this helps, and I wish you all the best with your project!

    What's this Kusa board you speak of please?

    • @FishBumpTV
      @FishBumpTV  2 месяца назад +1

      It's called Coosa board, and it's made in Alabama. It is a fiberglass reinforced, polyurethane panel that is light, strong, and rot proof. It is designed to be a modern replacement for marine plywood. I have several different videos here on the channel, showing how to work with coosa board, including our most recent video where we are replacing a rotten wood transom, with coosa board. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!

      @@FishBumpTV Thank you. I'm in Boatbuilding myself (Joinery biased) I love your videos. RUclips doesn't often put them in my feed but I usually learn something and always enjoy them.

      @marekward6202 I don't understand why RUclips isn't putting us in your feed? I have been hearing that a lot lately! I know that turning your notification bell on, giving us a thumbs us, sharing and commenting, will definitely help keep you notified when we upload new videos. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

    Don't sell the mold. You could get heavy money for that boat

    • @FishBumpTV
      @FishBumpTV  2 месяца назад +2

      I may not sell them. But I have some other ideas for boats I want to build and improvements to the shop that I need to make and selling the molds would allow me to do that. Just trying to make some good business moves. I hope this makes sense, and I appreciate you watching and commenting!
