Moving along nice. Welcome.
-
Well your off to a good start! Keep the post and pictures coming. :salut:
-
Thanks for showing us what the insides of one of these 222's actually looks like with the deck removed! Hope your project is coming along nicely.
Is there a trick to posting your pictures in your posts full-size as you have done; I couldn't seem to figure out how to do that; pics I tried to add to my posts ended up being thumbnail sized.

Thanks... I now have everything grinded and ready for glass. Hope to get time to do the transom this week and the start the deck. I will have more pictures soon. I take all my pictures with my iPhone and put them in photo bucket and link them over.

Bud, if you're using our photo gallery there are two links that you can copy and paste - one is thumbnail, the one below that is the full size.
You can also add the text you have at the bottom of your post to the "signature" entry in your "user control panel". To get there click on the link to the right just below the teal bar above the topics. This will add it to all your posts automatically.
-
Many thanks for your advice, Rick. I will try that. I'm new to the forum and learning as I go! What a great resource for us old-timers keeping these classics on the water; I'm glad I found it!

Bud
I see that you have been "attaching" your photos - that's probably why you get thumbnails. Take a look at the topic posted at the top of each forum that explains how to use our gallery - same technique applies to any photo hosting site.
-
Thanks, Rick. I'm going to take some more pictures of her this weekend and then I'll get them posted.
Cheers,

Good progress jmr. I didn't see it mentioned, but did you check the foam in your stringers while you have everything apart? Now is the time to replace it if it is soaking wet.
-
The stringers look good and I'm not going to redo them just raise them up so I can raise my deck. The weather has sucked and kept me from doing the transom... I have finally started it and progress is slowly moving on.

The first 2 layers to start closing in the transom.

I strongly recommend you take some core samples of the foam in those stringers. Very very rarely is the foam not soaked and the wet foam sitting there for years can contribute to the stringers delaminating from the floor. You're doing a nice job on this hull so it doesnt make a lot of sense to take a short cut on a very critical detail that relates to the hull's integrity in the long run. Cut the tops off of the stringers, clean them out, add additional glass to the connection point and repour modern day closed cell foam and re-glass the tops. It's worth the trouble...

Sorry something happened to all my pictures so I reloaded them.

Looking nice what are you going to use for coring the transom?
-
I'm using two 3/4 inch coosa board.

Finally a good use for Transco transformers.
-
Got anymore crap you can place on there? Lol :mrgreen:
-
Yeah, what's the matter, couldn't find the kitchen sink. :lol:
-
Ran out of room to put weight so figured id stop there. I tried to use the kitchen sink but it was to hard to get out of the counter. But those of you that only put a little weight on you're transom board and wonder why there is air pockets you'll know why. MORE WEIGHT IS BETTER THEN LESS. Only want to redo the transom once.
-
Got the Coosa board installed.

Who made the tower? are you doing an upper and lower station?.
-
Nice work on the transom brings back some fond memories. :thumright:
-
I got the tower off CL with everything thing on the second station plug and play (couldn't pass up the deal). CMA in Parrish FL made it. Rabco Boats made the console. Yes I'm going have duel stations.
Yeah the transom is coming slowly but getting there. I thought it was going to be a lot harder then it is ending up to be LOL.
-
Foamed in fish box with 2" foam. Think it will hold some ice now!!!LOL

That looks pretty darn good man! :thumleft: What did you use for the transom braces?
-
You get so many different approaches to rebuilding a boat on this site :thumleft:
-
That looks pretty darn good man! :thumleft: What did you use for the transom braces?
Looks like Coosa to me...
-
Thanks she's getting there. I just used some left over coosa board that I had glassed together when I did the transom.
-
When working with that coosa you can use a router to round over the sharp corners so the glass will lay easier. Now you can use a foam rasp. Looks good keep up the boat porn.
-
yep!! that's what I did on the transom so the glass rolls right around. this stuff is very easy to work with just wish it didn't coast a arm and a leg or id use it on the deck!!!
-
Its been busy lately but the time I have had I've got the mold made for the deck and hope to be glassing this up then in in this coming week. Got it fitted in the boat and figured out where the hatched need to be then put it inside and put it together and ready for glass.

Nice progress - mold/platform looks stout :salut:
-
Nice layout can't wait to you glass in the hatch gutters.
-
Me too!!! Never don't this before so home this comes out okay. I'm going to gel all the hatch gutters then wax and re gel and glass. Hope to have this done in the next week or so....
-
Any update on the photos and the flooring, I like the work
-
Got the mold finished and hope to start glassing it this weekend. All the hatch and hinge reveals came out nice.

Geez that looks great. Easy to see the "negative" on that mold. The hinge pockets look like they'll take care of toe stubbers :thumleft:
-
Looks great! Can't wait to see the results!
-
Looking good.

Got the deck all glassed up on the mold over the last few days going to pull it this week and get it fitted into the boat

Can't wait to see it popped out of the mold. :mrgreen:

Awesome preplanning on that huge mold! I wish I would have thought about doing it that way on my build with the built in hatch gutters.
How much do you think it weighs with all that resin, glass, and plasticore?
Do you have to build new molds for the hatch covers?
-
Thanks its slowly getting there....I think it's maybe 250 lbs. Yeah going to make a mold for the hatches makes thing a lot nicer and a lot less grinding!!
-
Sweet!
-
Got the deck fitted and didn't come out to bad. Had a buddy come by with a little crane truck to help fit it.

looks awesome!!

Sweet! :cheers: Love the crane truck!
-
Boy that was easy :thumleft: Nice fit :cheers:
-
Having friends with cool tools sure help. :cheers:

it sure was nice..... Having to take the deck out a few times to grind was a lot better then doing it by hand. Happy it's starting to look like a boat again!!!!

Got the sides glassed to the deck am going to pull it and flip it to run some glass on the bottom and put the rigging tube on the bottom of the deck. Had to shim one side of the deck almost 3/4" to get it level. Still have to glass the tank in and going to paint the bilge area with an epoxy paint.

Got the transom piece glassed to the boat still have to finish glassing the outside of it. Cut out where the hatches will go (ordering them from SSI custom plastics) What a pain it was to glass the inside!!!!

-
looks awesome :thumleft: looks like your steaming along pretty good. whats your estimated date of completion?
-
Great progress. I see there is another AQ in the yard - a 200CCP.
-
Looking good.
What are you planning for drains through transom cap?
-
Yeah she's coming along well right now. Hope to have her in the water by mid July but not going to rush anything if it's not.
Yeah that 20ccp is a buddy's of mine we have been messing with a little. Been sitting for 5+ years. It's not getting a rebuild he doesn't have the money and I'm not sure if I can do another one..... The 222 Aquasport isn't anywhere near as bad as my 1965 Bertram 20 was!!!!
Drains are going to be plumbed under the deck and through the transom and most likely have a check value.
Just need to finish glassing the transom and just put knees under the cap along the sides hope to get it all done this week and flip it next week to gel bottom and sides. Went to home depot and got some color samples so I can figure a color out.
-
First of all, congats on the mold for the sole. It came out awesome. :salut:
But I have a question, how do you plan on doing the hatches? It looks to me that you won't be able to have them flush with the sole because the gutters appear to be even with the top of the sole?
The main reason i am asking is because I like your method and and planning on doing it the same way. I was just just planning it out in my head and was stumped on what you are doing for that part.
Thanks!
-
Thanks it saved me a lot of time...... I plan on cutting the inside lip down about a half inch it will still have a lip there for water to flow to the back where little drains will be.

Good to have the heavy equipment to help flip!!!

Fairing away and sprayed the bottom with gel. Waiting on the color to come in and going to spray the sides and transom. Then off to wet sanding and buffing.

-
Bottom looks good :salut:
Going with gel all the way?
-
Thanks. I think so was going to paint the inside but after working with gel after everyone says it's a pain I was happy with how it cam out. So just hope the sides and inside come out as good as the bottom.
-
What process did you use with the gel? Any additive?
-
This is the clear I mixed in it made it spray like paint. I mixed it 50/50% with gel. Not the cheapest stuff out there. But for never spraying gel and hearing how bad it is and just to paint everything and roll the bottom....... I liked it a lot and happy with the turn out.

-
What did you use for fairing?
-
AdTech P-77. Was easy to work with except not much work time (4-6 Minute work life) was easy to sand in 15 minutes. Found out the hard way you want to sand it within 24 hours after that it was a lot harder to sand.
-
Sides and bottom are all painted!! Hope to get it sanded and buffed by the end of the week the flip her and back to fairing.

-
Nice :salut:
-
So, is that gel or paint?
Whatever it is, it does look nice!
If it is gel how many mils did you end up with?
-
Looking good :thumleft: . You are almost inspiring me to try that myself!
-
It's gel. Now just gotta sand and buff.
I'd guess about 20 mils.
Thanks I thought it would be a lot harder then it was but wasn't bad at all.
And as it was put to me on painting or doing gel. everyone thinks gel is more work but it's about the same Paint you do more work before and gel is more work after.
-
How's the sanding and buffing coming?
-
Work has been busy haven't had much time. But the little here and there time its almost there. Not sure why but under different light its more of a teal color but in sunlight its the blue?!?!?!

-
Looks good. What products did you use to get that deep shine?
-
Thanks, I have a buddy of mine who had a car detail business (has never messed with boats) and we used 3m Super duty rubbing compound then went over it with Aquabuff 2000 then he used a "flex DA Buffer" with Meguiar's M105 Polish then M205 and I have to still wax it. Its been a lot of work but I think it will hold its shine and last awhile just was every few months.
-
Flipped her back over and now ready to knock the inside out..... Back to fairing and sanding. I have noticed with this color in different light she looks teal but in direct sun light it has a nice blue. Anyone know why that could be? Is it the color or did I do something wrong?

Nope you're fine.....appears different in the sunlight's stronger UV wavelength. A semi-educated supposition :mrgreen:
All good....beautiful job, very attractive color. And the white bottom is the cat's meow :wink:
-
She looks sweet. You are right the blue is dramatically different in different light. That's pretty cool.
-
Don't know how you blended the paint but......
Color is a product of light. Without it, you have no color so as stated above it is dependent on the light source. Your eye and brain perceive color so you can survive. As you age those perceptions dull. The blue to me looks the same in each of the photos (more or less) but no matter what color.....
It looks good. :thumright:
-
looks really awesome!
my osprey was the same way, in the shade or at night, she looked dark gray to almost black. in direct sunlight, she was a light gray-blue. my flatback will be painted the same color.

Yep,
Blues and greys have always been my faves. :thumright:

Been moving along the last few weeks with fairing. I think this is the most pain in the butt part of the whole project!!!! The corners and where the deck meets the sides sucked.

Well I gelled the cap getting ready for paint I have a few pin holes in gel what do y'all think would be the best way to fill them??

Got the drains figured out in the deck and the anchor hatch set up. Everything is ready for paint. Test fitted the console leaning post and tower to mark everything and tape off for paint then non skid.

yeah I was thinking of something like that to go over them.

Used them in the past, they work good. When you go to order them, they are called "locker ventilators."
The way you have the drains countersunk they should fit real sweet.

What a pain to tape everything off for paint. Painted everywhere non skid will not be then going to roll the non skit.

Seemed not a lot of non non-skid area, so I agree that it was a lot of work to protect those areas.

She's come a long way in a year.
Looks great. :thumright:
-
Sure looks purdy :salut:

Getting close on a year she's been done!! Put a lot of hours running off shore or in the skinny waters on the flats. She's slowly getting all the BIG $$$$ items. Do have to say that the 222 is a great all around boat have been offshore king fishing when the wonderful Florida weather turns and heading home in 5'-6' seas (will get a little wet) home safe and go right to the flats to get some snook and reds. Some of the weather I've been in couldn't even think of taking some of the newer build 22' "Bay Boats" in. Thanks to everyone for the advice on here and to everyone that posts thing was a lot of help to look at other post and see different angles everyone is doing things.

She looks great!

Super job. !!
Where are your NAV lights? On the tower?
I like the layout of the front area of your cap. I like the anchor locker access there instead of where mine is.
-
Yep in the tower. Tower came with tred and green working LEDs so kept them. Ya I wanted speakers in the from and the only way to do so was cover that area the original anchor went. The Challenge was trying to figure out how to make the hatch ended up taking the small hatched on my slcasting deck and using the smallest side to make a plug then made a mold off that worked well.
-
J what is your transom crown measurement looks really sweet. Like to know your center line measurement from the keel to the top of your transom cap. I'm just starting my transom pattern and have mine set at 37" inches. Curious as to what yours is.
-
You have and other pics or insight on what you used to raise the stringers?
Been awhile but have done a few things over the past few weeks.
