Probably, Brent has always been supportive of people realizing their dream, even though no one was there to lend them that 100k. It's looking pretty bad *** so far, keep it up.

 

thanks folks, i wish i could convey my dream in text but i cant, if i could, im sure most of you would approve.

cheers for the feedback and i will update asap

 

Great project!

Seriously listen to what others say...sandblast every square cm of this thing....hardcore.
In fact..blast for a couple hours,then paint it. Never leave bare metal open,especially 10' from damp salty air.

I knew a guy,despite my warnings figured it would be cool to just wirewheel his rusty and cheap steel sail boat. Spent all kinds of money on paint...and 6 months later had to haul it out ($$$$) and blast and repaint ($$$$) it with the rust stains all over.

Saw a sandblaster on craigslist for $50 last month.

 

will do the sandblast. im excited

 

Dont get too excited, its really a crap job best left for someone else to do if possible

 

ha there deff was a hint of sarcasm in my excitment.. going to be a hellofa job.

 

Jobs I detest (in order):

1. sand blasting.

2. spray painting

3. angle grinding

4. anything to do with plasterboard (non boat related one....)

I paid for all my steel to be blasted & primed before I started building, only had to blast small stuff myself. It was expensive to farm it out and I'd do it again in an instant.

PDW

 

Interesting thread.

You say it was built for a still, but you're going to build a greenhouse?

Seems this hull was born with a destiny.

 

the guy who built it said he was planning on putting in a scremin jimmy engine. use the exhust to bild the still and make booze run it to the city and be desguised as a sailboat.

i like the idea of a still. could be used for making booze or making fresh water. pretty interesting.

 

recent pic thanks for the help, still no work on hull going to try this summer.moved into my new spot on the 17th of dec real high tide, towed it with a tug, towed like a champ.yarr
