So I tackled this- had to do the dry method on the front of the boat, tried the wet method on the transoms- I did a better job with the dry...
Cool photos- you are working on a much larger scale than I am! I can vouch for old wood sucking resin- the trampoline on this Shark is just...
Good advice- I can get helping hands easily, but not ones with experience! I do not know the technique used when this Shark was built. (it's...
Thanks- I'm looking forward to seeing if I can get great results with the sticky method!
I understand the value of primary bonding- great point. I've done a lot of fiberglass patches, and a ton of epoxy work. I've just never done a...
About to lay some light glass over okume ply- 3 oz Curious about peoples technique- there is dry- which as some say, causes delamination as...
The inside fiberglass was applied before the decks were installed.

I'm re-decking another Shark catamaran. While routing the old decks off, I realized the plywood was fiberglassed on both sides. (maybe 4oz...
already bringing in the other boats !
This is the male mould when I built it- it had a three inch bend to the left ( the right side was 3 inches longer than the left) I built...
I do have the plans for the hull stations-its what i built the mold from.
This was the first try at making a Shark hull- (mold I made was flawed, hull was unusable) Fun to look at how well the epoxy and glass held to...
This has been sitting in my basement for many years- unusable due to the warp in it- I built a weakback instead of a strong back! Cant wait to...
Still thinking about this as I put the boat away for storage (plugs out).... I really hate to cut holes in the deck until I get damaged in a...
I have wooden decked fiberglass hulls. On the rebuild, I did not put any portholes in. The only expected ventilation occurs when I take off the 1...
Well, it would really help me if you could be clearer on your feeling towards Gibbs....... I haven't rebuilt any of his boats- I'm working on...
