PS...The box forward of the console is unusual...from the PO, or did you add it?
A solid leaning post, reversed....and appears to be of Northeast/Great Lakes origin.
Looks good, nice fit :thumright:

Yeah Scott, Your "good buddy" down there... :shock: :shock:

Marco,
There was an issue three years ago with a thief from Marco. This thief was 79 years old, and screwed a member here out of good money (me)
The Marco Island Police were involved, and later the Marco Island Eagle newspaper.
Anyhow...we welcome you aboard.
Sorry for the digression...back to your rebuild :thumright:
-
Cool boat, cool rebuild! Welcome aboard!
-
Welcome aboard! :salut:
Marco is a great please to grow up! Enjoy young man. :thumright:
Look forward to photos of the progress.

Got it thanks Capt. Bob
looks like your getting into it pretty good Marco. Is that autobody bondo that you are using in that patch job?

Scotty, to me that appears to be a livewell out of a 25' Hydra Sport.

Well its more like fiberglass bondo but that was just put in to fill gap between the new plywood and the deck but it will be fiberglassed over and feathered into the deck.

A solid leaning post, reversed....and appears to be of Northeast/Great Lakes origin.
Looks good, nice fit :thumright:
The box upfront is a seat with a cooler in it filled with 4" of foam insulation. That thing will hold ice for days. We added that but never finished installing it. I am sorry that you had to have such a bad expeirience down here in marco island. its funny that you say that because the reason we are doing all the work on our boat is because the guy who was supposed to be working on it was always asking for money and he did nothing but steal gas out of our tank. And what do you mean by it appears to be from NorthEast/great lakes origin , are you talking about the hull, leaning post or the cooler seat?

You need to use some epoxy with a thicking agent. Like west system epoxy with some 407 mixed in. The autobody filler is not water proof like the epoxy is. You don't want to have to do it over again in a few months when the bondo swells up and gets saturated with water. that will suck. :(

X2. Any glass you apply will only have the bonding strength of whatever is under it. That gap oughta be beveled then taped together with glass. Then fairing compound on top. Epoxy is the best. Waterproof, doesnt shrink, and is much stronger.

The problem was the old sumbich had been a thief all his life, and saw an honest southern boy that took a man at his word as a ringer. I unfortunately bit it hook, line and sinker. I did get two nice Mercs from the deal, the rest was an asswhippin'. You can read the entire tearjerk on Classifieds, Caveat Emptor. It was like Christmas morning, then somebody steals your toys at gunpoint.
There was a company up in Penn. long ago that used to make box-style leaning posts like yours, but damn if I can remember their name. Nice product though.

where we fiberglassed 2 2x6's into the center console for t top reinforcement.
(http://www.classicaquasport.com/gallery/data//500/IMG_000000072.jpg)
all the old screw holes now filled in with cabosil and polyester resin which makes the center console now ready for gelcoat. :cheers:

also forgot to post this picture of all our gelcoat and painting tools the cup guns and the airbrush have automotive finish tips in them and will be used for the outside hull awlgrip and the interior gunnels awl grip. the airbrush is gonna be used for the outboard motor cowl and light touch ups around the hull after the paint job. we might do a design on the hull with it :shock:
-
Hey marcois great job. Just got to looking, and wanted to ask you. And plase don’t thank I’m nit picking. But are those air bubbles in your glass work on the 2x6s? Where the glass looks white. If it is, you may want to conserder grinding them out now and fill. Condensation can build up in those bubbles and cause rot later down the road. Your doing a great job and I would hate to see rot start later when you can get to it now. I know their for support for your T top, but fixing a potential problem now would be better then the alterative. :thumleft:

What are you going to spray the webbing solution on? How will that look? I see you have some blue tint and white gelcoat where are you going to paint light blue?

Thanks for picking that out. yes we are going to grind them out and fill or possibly lay another layer of just 1.5 oz mat. they will also later be coated in gelcoat to prevent water penetration.

We are going to gelcoat the deck white then spray on the black webbing. the livewell will be gelcoated light blue. the gunnels and outside hull will be sprayed in awl grip which we do not have yet.
p.s. good eye catching the blue tint
