Or a motorcycle.
No....no they cannot.
I realize it's an unreasonable compulsion and judging by the patronizing air of visitors to the shop while I survey this thing I should probably...
I work on bikes quite a bit and am totally familiar with the cost savings associated with sourcing online. It's so bad this way where I live that...
That's the plan this week. Gonna spend some time going over all the stringers and keel with an awl, pulling up the glass fabric inside as I go....
I have the glass already. I'd like to do the whole thing top, bottom. and in the bilges. Was hoping to go with polyester as this is what I am...
That's the plan at this point. To keep paring her back looking for the cumulative results that will necessitate the trip to the dump. Admittedly,...
I guess my goals for this boat would be to bring it to a sound / safe / functional operating condition. I have poked about it fairly well a few...
Spent part of the day opening up the bow. No idea how to proceed from here. I would prefer to section the stem and graft on a new portion to...

So....Had a chance to look a little closer at a couple things today. Pulled up some fabric here and there and sanded the resin that was left....
Thanks. I just waded through 30 pages of the "materials section" trying to get a fix on this. I got the epoxy over poly thing and not vice...
Thanks for the response. Gonna go down in the am and keep puttering with it. If it were done in polyester am I doomed to continuing with poly?...
Old plywood boat. Can you actually polish a turd? My boat has one layer of glass fabric on the plywood hull and the inside has fabric as well....
So...as an idea of the worst I have been able to find. The first full frame forward, port chine area. Frame and gusset are rotted out as well...

Thanks
