Nice job. A good way to make fillet base work move faster is take a heavy ziplock bag and cut off a corner to use it like a pastry bag for thickened resin. Then take a plastic spoon and smooth it to a perfect rounded edge ready for glass.

Dont sell yourself short Matt. I am really enjoying your videos and they are very helpful. Without people like you, Boatworks today and Dagnar Marine I would be totally lost. Doing my first boat and learning so much I already know it will not be my last.

If this boat breaks up in the water, the motor and the transom will just carry on together over the horizon! 😂😂😂 So glad you changed the music mate! 😂👍🏻👊🏻

Nice video… only thing I'd do differently is put an air vent at the front of the boat floor area cavity to allow air from the front to the drain plug when the boat is not in use to allow floor cavity to aerate when not in use example PVC pipe with lockup cap. Boat will always hold moisture in the floor cavity.

Only thing I'd do differently is, When We build fishing boats we use 2, 2x4s (or 2x6 if deck is high) for stringer and just 1 layer of 1.5oz cloth and 1 layer of 1708 cloth over the top. Normally just just 14"x38" strips of cloth and cover the 2x4s strip my strip. But you did a perfect job for a none comercial boat

Just about to renovate my transom, I like your straightforward honesty and no bullshit, really handy video's , cheers !!

Absolutely awesome work Matt, work to be proud of for sure.

nice work man. Progress is looking great.

Solid job mate looking really good

Awesome Matt! I'm currently working on my first fiberglass project boat on the sunny coast

Love your work mate, always an informative helpful vid! Inspired me to start my own project.

Looking good mate! Got a project on the go here in NZ, 5m fibreglass cabin boat which I took on after watching your first vid! Keep it up 👍👍

Hope your sanding between coats of resin because you might have a de lamination problems because polyester resin has a wax in it or else it will not cure that's why if you let it dry completely you have to sand if it is still tacky you can keep going and do the whole job

You should have used 2 layers of 1708 uni directional Matt on each side of the transom and using epoxy western system it will be stronger in the long run and you will be able to hang a 200hp motor without it even crackling but if its a jam job good luck to all that sails on her

Great work as usual Matt!

I build 18 foot - 32 foot comercial crab boats for a living in the Pacific north west and that my friend is a beefy setup. We do 1.5oz cloth plywood 1.5oz plywood then 1 layer of 1705 the. Hit the seem with an 8" strip then we have guy with 300hp outboard bolted to them . Some with brackets and some just slapped on the wood and glass. You did an overkill bad ass job in my opinion

This type of repair should be done off the trailer. Boats do not sit perfectly on trailers. They are always a small bit off. It’s better to put a block under the stern on each side and under the keel in the front. The three points helps the hull sit true. You may need straps on the gunnels to hold them true. After putting the hull on the three blocks. Look and check it. Measure each side from the hull to the floor at the same location to check and see if it’s true. Then make the stringers and glass them. Your hull will be true and it will drive straight!

excited for more vids in oregon, usa! i have a 65 dollar fiberglass boat im restoring

Awesome work mate! Im currently glassing in some gussets from my transom to floor, what thickness of CSM did you use and how many layers did you use on yours? Cheers mate awesome work 👍

Can I get you to do my boat next ? 😳

Looking pretty dry and lots of air between layers. Need to be a little more onto it with your compression rolling!

Hi welldone .... 1 question pls between the layers of sheet did you let it dry?

Hi Matt I am doing a boat resto In brisbane could you help me. You can turn it into a video. It is a 17ft half cabin that has excellent resto capability this is my first time ever doing one.

broo I'm doing the transom of a chekmate starflite 21', could you tell me how many layers I had to put in two 3/4 panels? I mean from the sanwish and at the end, im going to use shop and 1708

I'm slightly worried about water getting trapped, not being able to flow to the back and out a drain.

Oh sorry, I see later in the video you did use the bag trick. My bad.

Hows drainage work with that stringer?

What kind of rollers are you using for the resin?

راقي جدا عملك

At 14min, I'm trying to work out what Matt is watching on his phone.

ONLY $150 to purchase this project boat and ONLY ANOTHER $5,000 making repairs to restore 😳 - just joking - time consuming for sure - but should be a good boat again when you are finished.👍😊✌️

Why does every sentence you say end with a question mark?

Dude , your transom is too thin & weak , you should had double the plywood .
