1974' Aquasport 240 CC Rebuild

Sorry to hear about your mom.  Never enough time and you always think of ways you should have spent it differently.  Hard labor, like working on a boat, is always a good distraction. Through our sin we all put Jesus on the cross and because of that we all get forgiveness and comfort. It's weird, but somewhere in there is some positive.

Thanks for the kind words brother. I have peace knowing she is now without pain in heaven with our lord and savior!

Got a little breeze from some of the Florida hurricanes this summer and the oldest carport, almost 4years old, gave up. Thankfully, they sell replacements for them and they are fairly reasonable and easy to replace.


Finally getting the transom prepped to set into the outer skin..
Two (2) Layers of 1708 on the inside of the transom. Got it trimmed, grinded down and rounded edges for it to be set in core bond soon. Transom for the 240 is on right @ 1.5'' thick. The other is the transom for the 222 flatback I am also building.




Got the inside skin grinded down and taped off to prevent the corebond to creep on the rest of the glass and eliminate a little cleanup. If all goes as planned, I should have the transom set in this week and hopefully the inside glassed in by the weeked.

Looking good Ulysses 

[Duffy1470]

Remotivated. Excellent.

[Ulysses485]

An additional Two (2) layers of 1708 were set in place and the core (with Arjay 4001 Core Bond troweled on) was set wet against the wet resin. Need more resin to finish the inside liner so I can tie the stringers in and start the inside hull side coring (3/8'').


I need to get some photos of the core set in place.

[Duffy1470]

Progress! Excellent.

You have any pics fellow traveler?

Unfortunately, I do not. I haven't spent much time recently on this one. I do plan to prep the hull sides soon so I can bed the hull side coring. I I really need to get all the grinding work done before the heat is back because I cant stand grinding or sanding in the heat!

[Duffy1470]

No joke on that. Don't kid yourself, though, grinding in the cold is no fun either.

[Ulysses485]

Raised the cap this past weekend and got the strip of bonding they used between the liner and hull at the rub rail. Pointed shovel worked well for most of it again!

[Ulysses485]

Got the hull sides knocked down with 60-80 grit using my 7'' Dewalt polisher/sander that I almost forgot I had. It makes a mess but gets the job done and easier to control than an angle grinder.

Moved some stuff around in the small space I have within the carport and decided to gut all the wood (hopefully this week) from the casting deck. I obtained a bunch of 1/4'', 3/8'', and 1/2'' Divinycell scrimmed and scored coring material at a good price that I am going to use wherever I can.

[Duffy1470]

Movement is good

Got the casting deck wood gutted out tonight.
