Level boat/floor, then add water draw circles around all your puddles. Those are your low spots you'll need to glass.

People don't understand how many steps fiberglass work takes. Patience is key, nice job bro!

@talitubi101 11 ай бұрын

Absolutely, been building a boat in my spare time, just laying up all the glasswork, epoxy it then having to wait for every cure before sanding and doing it all over has been testing my patience for sure 8)

I loathe sanding. I’ve done a few fiberglass repairs on our boat and I just don’t enjoy any of it.

In life there will always be 'experts' ready to unload a negative comment - especially on the Internet. Keep up the great work, keep learning and I can't wait to see the finished product.

@1982mako224 11 ай бұрын

Uneven flex patterns in fiberglass lead to cracking. Your best bet after levelling would be to do one layer of chopped strand or 1708 glass over the entire deck.

@Fluid36 11 ай бұрын

Agreed but prob not worth it for this boat. Also glass doesn't always stick to fairing compound the best mate.

This is called ‘learning’, his expertise in mechanics wasn’t born without this step, he just hadnt put it out there for you to criticize yet

@boominS10 8 ай бұрын

If you mix resin with the bondo it will make if thinner, so it's easier to work with and just about self levels depending on how much resin you add, which makes for a little less sanding

@BornAgainBoating 8 ай бұрын

Nice, thank you, didn't know that!

@willoliver2897 11 ай бұрын

Wouldn’t it have been easier to just lay multiple layers of glass instead of the Bondo?

Hmmmm. I do believe using some coosa board for ribs, stringers and the floor would have been quicker and easier in the long run. However it’s your project and you do it how you want to.

In the end, it will be one of those crazy lobster boats you use at night. Thus, perfection is not needed. It will be great in the end!

Bet you were a great drywall guy lol Most likely should have removed that cap added pot foam to and cut grind and level. Then reinstall the cap. However I can see the frustration and wanting to get this project done. Entrainment has a cost. I find this stuff enjoyable even the mistakes. Knowledge is always entertaining. Great vid amigo !

@MrMichaelDodd 11 ай бұрын

I don't know this history of this project, but is this really the best solution. This is probably a stupid suggestion, but why not plywood and glass? It would add some weight. I am not being a smart ass, maybe someone can enlighten me.

@BornAgainBoating 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, no worries. It's a really little boat, 13', and Whalers are "unsinkable" basically these things are all foam. Which keeps them buoyant, but they are also paper thin, which keeps them light. The wood and glass would be too heavy, and they are really curved for the way they sit in the water. So the deck isn't really flat. But this is a 1979 that went through a hurricane and other people building on it over the years. So it was trashed, and when we foamed it, the foaming process was a disaster, which warped the floor. So, that's the back story.

@MrMichaelDodd 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for the explanation. I have a 13 foot whaler knock off, so i get it. Thanks for the video man.

Is there a reason you decided to repair the old janky, unleveled floor and glass it back into the boat instead of just putting in a new floor that is already flat and leveled? Seems like it would have saved you a lot more labor and material.

@macmccollum6064 11 ай бұрын

What would a job like this cost?

@skidmarkzuckerberg 11 ай бұрын

The materials cost likely exceed the value of this hull, and that's before labor. A hull in this condition is almost not worth it to the average boater unless you have deep pockets or can DIY.

@talitubi101 11 ай бұрын

Everything in this project so far, in my country probably over a thousand euros. Glass and resin is expensive in these quantities. Like Skidmark said, only if you get your hull for free or close to free its worth it.

@malekodesouza7255 11 ай бұрын

Yep. Lot of work. Lot of materials cost. Only viable if it was free AND you had an outboard lying around with controls etc. Otherwise, it’s a money pit for no ROI.

Unless you just love boats and the enjoyment of using it outweighs the negatives.
