[Hanszz]

Made the trailer and the boat ok for some holidays to Italy

The last holiday before the restoration.....

[Hanszz]

Holiday 2004 I met Guliano Arcangeli himself at the yard http://www.arcangelicentronautico.it/at Salo, Lake Garda.
He did build my boat himself....

[Hanszz]

After the holiday (2005), took all the chrome off, by taking the chrome off we saw the number 444 in all the chrome,
so it isnt number 401 but 444.

Brought the boat to a friend of the EWBC http://www.e-w-b-c.eu/ who restores boats in his spare time.. !!

Even some ribs had to be remove because they were to rotten.

[Hanszz]

After placing new ribs, plating the deck with 12mm triplex, and at the back with 18mm Mahogany multiplex.

[Hanszz]

Then....placing massive mahogany over the triplex.

http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-UXQPIIX7.jpg

[Hanszz]

After that, we turn the boat to prepare the bottomside. Take all the paint off with sandpaper and pickling. And make the pickling work better with putting plastic on it so it can't "breathe".

Give it a epoxy layer, with glassfiber blanket under it. And finish it with a few layers of pantserlack.

[Hanszz]

Took the boat to another place, turn it back and go on with the massive topwood. Drill the screwholes fasten it with screws and special kit, phrasing inbetween the dark wood. Then place the ramin light strokes in, and make a plane surface wish an abrade.

[Hanszz]

Then fill the screwholes with special wooden bungs

http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-CXDFFD88.jpg

All holes filled and ready to smoothen the surface with sandpaper.

http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-P7A7FPYH.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-ELARUH7I-1.jpg

All smooth and ready for the 8 layers of original yachtlack.

[Hanszz]

Putting lack on the boat makes a whole lot of a difference.

Two layers of lack on the boat, and he's ready to take him from John his workshop (Eindhoven) closer to my house (The Hague) for the rest of the painting and finishing touch.

http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-ASHJ8FGB.jpg

John, the man who did most of the woodwork next to my packed boat, ready to take him home.

[Hanszz]

Brought the boat to a boathouse near my house to finish the lackwork.
Primering the inside and In total 10 layers of original Ruwa yachtlack on the outside.

[Hanszz]

Steeringwheel repainted and back in, and a sidelight. I did searched for an original, but I couldnt find it anywhere so I placed a '66 Chevvy searchlight. And put a carpet in with a "breathing"rubber back thru wich water can slide away.

[Butch .H]

You are such a showoff :D :D :D .Well done

[Hanszz]

Second test, two weeks later last July (2008) in Italy on the Gardalake.

http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-YX8T467G.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-CAMQ74XI-1.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-TDWRCBC8-1.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-WRYJWQNU.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-UBJDVOK8.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-I3O46RXY.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-776GTI8R.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-LUGO8TCB.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-GWUNJ8MC.jpg

Where he belongs................

http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-DUXDXPGS.jpg

[Hanszz]

Enjoyed my boat just one week before...............water did came in... The boat had to come out of the water to check it and to repare.
Took the metal strips off to see the damage.
The left front outside panel opened almost 2mm at the front.

http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-NIRJESEF-1.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-3HJRBEAN-1.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-P6JH4C4P-1.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-Q8XSSANH-1.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-METCTXWD-1.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-HOHLHQEF-1.jpg

Repared it with three layers of epoxy "carpets" and put the strips back on and put the boat back in the water.
And if that wasnt enough, the engine wouldnt start anymore..... so, the boat again out of the water and brought it to the nearest Mercury dealer in Manerba near Salo.

http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-ABXK6NOA.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-YMSTNNDW.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-MXNF4DTI-1.jpg And no.... I'm not pleased at all.!!! Can you see??

[Hanszz]

The boat was checked by Zanka in Manerba and what seems the problem, the magnetoshaft had so many userdamage that the "points" couldnt be set on time anymore. :(
So, no water anymore for the next two weeks I would be in Italy. I settled the boat next to my tent and I had to explain many times to people on the campingsite why my boat was next to the tent and not in the water.......

http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-I8YUNQ4V-1.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-AVLKO3PN.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-HQ87ZGRH-1.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-UHQNHXUX-1.jpg http://www.mijnalbum.nl/MiniFoto-QMSZYDCS.jpg

Back home I started my search for a "new" magnetoshaft. After a short but good search on the internet and via some forums I found a used but very good magnetoshaft in the USA at MercGuy.com http://www.mercguy.com/motors_for_sale.htm

Left the old one, you can see the userdamage and right the "new" one, really almost as new.

http://www.mijnalbum.nl/Foto-O73VFWCT.jpg

[Hanszz]

A showoff................... lol
Thanks Butch, I see that as a compliment.
But, for so far my boat. The shaft isnt placed back yet but thats ok, the weather isnt that good to put him in the water so one of these weeks a friend of mine will help me with putting it all back together again and make it work........ and for the testing in spring next year..... before it goes with me to Italy again.

[Butch .H]

A compliment you bet nice boat good pics.

[peter radclyffe]

if anyone wants another boat like this , there is one with original engine

[Hanszz]

Got any pics of that boat for me?

[peter radclyffe]

Hanszz, i'll have to get one, this boat needs total restoration, the sides are good but no hardware, the framing is good, the bottom & foredeck have to be replaced,

[dhenry]

Damn, Hanszz you did good. I really like you boat. Needs lots of patience and love for the art
