Total boat fairing all the way

Looks awesome as always, Andy! Thanks for the shout out :) I'm so excited to have BoatworksToday videos every week!

Really Appreciate your artistry.

You are a master of your craft sir.

This and all your videos are GOLD!

I watches this series to help me rebuild my vintage 1960 Seafair transom , thanks for the help

Well done mate from the UK, Olly

A 20lb box of 410???😦...that’s a lot of product. It’s already a large can when you buy it in the 2oz package. I love your channel brother, your experience and information brings a ton of value to KZfaq. I’ve got a 2006 Mitzi skiff 17 that needs a decent amount of glass and fairing work. Your channel has been my one single source of information regarding direction and technique with how I’ve approached various projects on my boat.

Let's say WELCOME back Andy, and i wish you a fast recover during your shoulder treatment. And again wish you the best for Boatworks Today.

Andy posts I thumbs up.

Added thumbs up for Yosemite Sam reference

Your OCD is on point. Good job sir.

Hi Andy. So glad you changed to Total Boat, better product, easier working time, no pinholes. Jamestown Total Boat are now a sponsor and 170k subscribers 😀 Amazing channel, many thanks. Ps do the Bertram transom 1st.

Damn, dude! If we're not related we should have been. Watching your videos is about 1/3 de ja vue as if I'm watching a video of me on the far side of your expertise. Heading out to finish my glass job!

Definitely the best channel of works on boats ... 👏

I don't even own a boat. 3rd video I 👀. Good stuff.

I've got an old gheenoe that needs a new transom. Thanks for your videos

really beautiful work

Just wanna let you know , if it wasnt for you i wouldnt of even brought my boat, got an old shetland 535 , and ive never used fiberglass or owned a boat but like you , im pretty handy. I have now chopped out the entire transom including glass, and the splashwell, and rebuilt my own custom height transom , and will be finishing it today. You shoukd be very proud of yourself for the knowledge you pass on, very very proud of myself for what ive done and its all because of your whaler videos and that "impact" haha hole . Just thankyou, your a pleasure to watch and love all the extra info !!!!

Nice smooth finish!👍

Absolutely loved this.👍👍

Very professional job.

GREAT JOB GREAT VIDEO!!!!!

My old 1963 Fiberglass boat has a slight curvature built/molded into the transom. I believe this is to make it stronger when pushed by engine? About ten years ago a friend helped me put some new wood in the transom: We dug out the wood that was rotted from the top & two areas on the inside near the bottom. The wood in the center was mostly good, due to engine mounting keeping it tight. We fitted new pieces of wood in layers. I made cardboard templates to help size new wood pieces. We coated the wood with West System Epoxy. We drilled holes thru the transom & used threaded rod with fender washers & nuts to squeeze the transom together. The threaded rod & washers were coated with Pam cooking spray, so they would not stick. We used a very long drill bit & drilled holes from the top to a reasonable depth into the new wood. We pumped epoxy into these holes using a syringe to saturate the transom with epoxy. Once the threaded rods were removed, we filled the holes with epoxy & fiberglass fill using a syringe. We then laid new fiberglass sheet & epoxy over the transom inside & out. Anyway, I am just relying on my memory, but it was something like this we did. I call West Systems & they told me the trick with the Pam spray. I noticed some KZfaq's recently, where they dig out the old wood from the top & pour a mixture into the cavity. I think it was called Seacrest?

Your video’s are Amazing!

Best channel out there, been watching these videos over and over while I’m trying to restore a little Dixie Malibu

You have no idea how awesome it is to have You back, now my triangle of knowledge (Boatworks Today, Sail Life and Sailing Uma) is whole once again! Welcome back Andy! Excited to see what you have lined up. When I first started doing my restore, I began with US Composites, making my own fairing and ran in to numerous issues with sags and pin holes. I switch to Total Boat Total Fair and will never look back unless I am doing a very large FLAT surface.

So fricken amazing.

This is mind numbing addictive! Or maybe I just really enjoy boat repair. Working with your hands and turning out a perfect project is satisfying.

As a DIY-er it is so intimidating to watch a meticulous pro at work. Excellent results and a joy to watch!

Nice work brother

Awesome Video Mate

Looks good as new.

Andy, I love the little girls closing line, I hope you never change it. : )

Very nice work. Enjoyed all the vids.

Loved the video and can’t wait till I can start seeing them every week !!

Can’t wait to see full time Andy videos. We got you man!

Who's going to get me from roofer lvl to boat lvl. This guy !

Thanks for the hint about adding 406 with the 410 when fairing something vertical. I had been struggling with 410 sagging. Thank you for such a wonderful KZfaq channel. I have learned so much from watching your videos.

Thank you for taking time to show us boat lovers how to make repairs or just watching for entertainment. As a boston whaler owner i respect the skill and trade you have.

I thought I was a meticulous perfectionist... then I watch this guy, and suddenly I feel like a neanderthal! Amazing work!

Havent even watched yet, but WHOO HOO been waiting for this episode !!!

I just wanted to say that I love this channel. Looking forward to seeing your weekly content and the upcoming winter project. :)

Love your attention to detail. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Great to see you back online :)

I always look forward to Sail Life videos on Sundays and now with you doing weekly videos it's going to twice as good!

Super excited to follow the next project!

Great to see you dedicating more time to KZfaq content. You're a great educator. Wishing you all the best and much success.

The master is back! LOVE the energy Andy! Can’t wait until next week.

Hey I just binged the whole job on this and now remember that it was worthy of thumb up on each segment. I omitted that task in my enthusiasm to digest the next portion of work. The information this all provided was a reasonable education and the finish is evidence of the solid product you applied. But if thats a cop boat how the he** did they get their boat into that state? That must have been some adventure?

Great to see you, Andy! Thanks for the education. I can’t relate the wealth of information that I’ve learned from you. With your direction I’ve been able to complete my project quicker and with less $.

Great video Andy. The transom turned out fantastic! I can't wait to see more of the new project boat.

love the skimming action ,,, very smooth ,, the paint looks great all round the boat too.

Awesome work, Andy. Keep the great vids coming.

Yay! A new video…. and boatloads of guilt for not working on my own boat. Guilt, Inspiration & Entertainment all in one shot - what a deal! :)

Interesting, humorous, informative, skilled, attentive to detail - you continue to set the bar high! And, it's always good to see a project end. I mean, there must have been 15 or 20 sandings - your patience is ridiculous! Also, appreciate your candor as well on the different products. Great job!

I wish I had Total Fair when I built my Mahogany Drift boat. I am a student of your marvelous work. Thank you

Hey Andy you've definitely got my curiosity wet just waiting for the next project, great job on this one.

Beautiful work.

amazing work brother

Great news regarding the more frequent vlogs the more the better...Txs.look forward to it...

Andy, Loved the Yosemite Sam sound clip!!!!

Watching this 2 years on Andy as I have a transom to replace too. Looked for good no fuss advice for a while now. Just found it, thanks for your detail!!!👌🏻

Thanks for being back online Andy!

So glad your back :)

Well done, sir!! I look forward to seeing and learning more. I will be tackling my boat in the coming year.

Just became a patron -- Thanks Andy for all your help.

I live about 20 miles away from Jamestown Distributors. Great place, good people.

I liked the sound clip of Sam, and yes, I do remember. Thanks for sharing the video and your time to make it. :-)

Great video, as usual...

Looks awesome as always Andy! Next project looks like its gonna be cool too! Can't wait for regular videos from you! I really need to get a shop, cold weathers moved in here, and now I can barely shoot any video on my restoration.

Exceptional work sir ! Thank you !

thanks looking forward to this series

ANDY, stoked to see the weekly videos, just tuned on the notifications. now if you can upload just after Mads on Sunday that would be AMAZING

Congratulations on finally getting this wrapped up! That was a pretty big job.

Awesome videos can't wait for the Bertram, I have a 25 and need to do my cockpit decks over.👍

Great work! ❤️🌹

I'm in no way a boat person, and I'm only just now getting to learn my way around fiberglass related projects for my car :o I subscribed to your channel because you're obviously someone who very much cares about quality. I look forward to learning more about your fiberglass work and all of the boats you work on! Pretty cool!

still amazed. Got that boat back to being a boat.

Learning alot in a short amount of time.

Totally agree on the Total Fair. Easy on, easy sanding and no pin holes! Great stuff.

Next level.... awesome job

Nice would have been cool to see the other parts of this project. Nice work. The new fairing compound looks promising.

Hey Andy, Andy here again. you answered my question from previous video in the first 1 minute and 15 seconds of this video. much appreciated. keep up the good work. i have a 25' grady white offshore pro. gonna do some fun upgrades. built in baitwell, new dash and control center. repairs. ect. thank you for doing this. i wouldn't know where to start without you!. thanks again, Andy Raoufi Synergy Tek

Those are really good news, really looking forward to the new uploading schedule

Congrats great to hear you’ll be doing more vids ! I’ve been really interested in building a stitch and glue boat from bateau! Between the fs17 and classic open 17 models. Real stoked to see your runabout project that’s exactly what I’m thinking of!

Glad to see you switched to the Total product line, it seems that it's working out best for everyone else that's made the switch as well!

Got to see you back!

I can't wait for more frequent videos Andy. Thanks for all you teach us. Hey, get Mads to to visit Boat Works Today sometime when he's in the States.

She turned out nice! Glad to see you are getting into video full time! Really looking forward to the new project! I will probably be picking your brain in a couple of months when I get into restoring my Spencer 42-2, have some 52 year old gel coat to bring back to life! I have learned so much watching your videos already, really excited to see you are going full time!

Great video!!! Can’t wait for the next

ROFLOL!! LOVE the Yosemite Sam reference! 🤣😂😂😅😅
