Thats awesome mate! What hull are you working on?

​@ExhaleAdventures 213C I've owned a 635l(same hull) and it was awesome so can't wait!

Thanks mate 🍻

Thanks mate, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🍻

Awesome mate, thanks for checking the vids out, have a look at the next few episode mate. Been getting out a bit in her recently. Cheers 🍻

There were times where I just flat out didn't want to do anything on it. Other times when I got frustrated with it. I just stepped away from it for a few days sometimes weeks and then come back fresh. You will get there mate, just chip away at it!

@@ExhaleAdventures cheers mate - isn't that what makes it so much more rewarding! Congratulations on getting it done. Enjoy sending it from here!

As the build went in I took more and more footage so you can expect plenty more little nuggets of info in the next few as well

As always thanks for checking the vids out mate. I really appreciate it 🍻

Thanks so much for checking the vid out. There is plenty of long days still ahead in this haha.

Awesome, it's a great thing to have a go at! I'm less familiar with the later model haines but I'm sure it will have that Haines deadrise and a good ride to go with it!

Thanks mate, it's been a fun project thats for sure. Make sure to check out part 2-4 over the next few weeks 🍻

Thank you 🍻

Awesome mate, it’s an exciting time starting a project like that! Enjoy the process mate, and talk to as many people as possible. Every little bit of information helps so much!

Thanks mate, stay tuned for the next episode 🍻

Thanks mate, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🍻

Thanks for the info mate. Back when I did it I actually did use a stirrer on the cordless for the bigger pours in the main stringer section. There was definitely still inconsistency in the mix when the weather was less favourable. A lot larger bubbles when I did test runs in high humidity.

@@ExhaleAdventures the inconsistency only comes from not mixing long enough, incorrect part a and b. Raining outside doesn't really stuff it up that much how I know been using that foam for 20 years, I did like the grind job you did it was spot on

Yep lol. If the boat builder did it probably would have been quicker than a year haha. I’m glad I took the time to do it myself in the end though.

Thanks for checking it out mate 🍻

Thanks for the question mate. I’ve got most of the costings there. My rebuild was basically starting from scratch, including tooling and full fit out. If you have or can find something that already has a decent motor and electrics and just requires a rebuild. This is definitely they way to go about it financially at least. I have planned to do a bit of a list up and throw it into a vid, I might move it up the priority ladder a bit and get it out sooner rather than later haha.

All good, I don’t think I did mention it. Cabosil and resin bog, and while it was still wet I tabbed them in over top of the bog. Did a full layup over top of that again.

Yeah that’s right mate, 4 layers layup went down first and then the stringers were bogged tabbed and then 4 layers up and over the stringers as well

@@ExhaleAdventures super. Thank you 🙏🏻

Yeah I definitely would. Now I know what I’m doing the time frame would be a lot different haha.

@@ExhaleAdventures I'm still thinking about it. But would need to find the right boat. Maybe a V17 or V19. Have you broken it in yet or still waiting for better weather?

If you have another bit of a watch, the two main sheets have already been bogged, glassed and tabbed in when I’m doing the full glass layup.

@@ExhaleAdventures I’ll have another look. Thank you!

Yeah I have pretty well. I’ve got most receipts and I’ll do a pretty thorough break down in the final vid 🍻

It’s a two part closed cell pour foam, Fibrefinish in Townsville sell the same stuff. I got mine from our local boat builder though.

Eco 330 two part foam or equivalent, nuplex, fibrefinsh or NCS fibrglass
