A high school classmate owns Bayside Sandblasting.  If you call that company, tell Keith Begin I said hello.

I drove by earlier today to see if you were working....I'll try stopping by later.
wes, any time you see the f250 home feel free to stop by.

the flattie is going back to the marina on wednesday or thursday, going to get the sea ray monday morning and bring it home for "winter maintenance"

busy day today, dropped the boat off at bayside sandblasting, should get it back either later today or tomorrow. stopped over at dons salvage, got a nice fiberglass livewell for 40 bucks, should fit nicely in the transom, looks to be about 20-25 gallons. stopped by Bruce's shop to say hello. went and got the title transferred for the FB, and yes i got the antique vessel registration.

got a whole lot of grinding done last 2 days, all thats left is to grind the inside of the forward middle stringer, and a couple spots i missed... went and got the first stage of supplies yesterday, got 4 rolls of glass(24oz stitch mat, 1708, 1.5 mat), and 5 gallons of vinylester resin, should be enough to start with. may be able to start glassing stuff next week... :cheers:

Aaron,

Be SURE to kick vinylester resin at 2% or more. It will not properly cure and adhere if kicked under 2%. You can kick poly as low as 0.75% with no problem, but vinylester is a whole different kettle of fish is kicked under 2%.

well been a little bit since i posed a pic...









decided to completely gut the forward stringers and grind everything out and glass them back. QUESTION: should i completely remove the middle stringer or leave  the sections like in my pics above?





and so far only one injury, caught the tip of my finger with a 36 grit flapper wheel today...

I see you removed the very outer stringers,  just about impossible to scrape out?
Amazing how clean looking you got her
If your building a new casting deck remove the stringer and use the storage under the floor if you are putting the original casting platform back in leave it
Just my 2 cents

Aaron,

You are getting a beautiful job young man.

I am pleased to first report that your Flatback is the DIVER model.

 Yessir!!

Where the hammer and scraper are lying on the forward hull...just so happens to coincide with the former viewing windows.

Glassed over many years ago....but right there for all of us to see.

VERY cool... Congrats :thumright:

Maybe not the Diver but maybe had the viewing windows.  No platform off Starboard side.

she wasn't a diver or had the Windows. I'll post a better pic of that area, when I ground down the extra glass from the stringer and bulkhead, the woven glass underneath is all uniform to the rest of the hull
