- Our 5 thousand dollar yacht is getting some more laborious investment! The transom was completely rotten so we’re trying our hand at a transom repair job! Close board was the obvious choice, hope this works!

I wish my wife was this helpful and handy. You're a lucky man.
That's a lot of work,put a diesel engine in it
I think you too could just do about anything. I hope you don’t start fooling around with rockets.
When i have done the fiberglass grinding and sanding, I go to the local thrift store and buy a long sleeve shirt and any old pants that fit ( usually $3-5 each if you dont care about style- I dont ) then after grinding and sanding I just toss the whole outfit in the trash and take a shower.. never wear them twice...
If i was Aaron i wouldnt get anything done. Id just be staring at Emily and wondering what i did to deserve such a cool lifemate. Hot and a gear head. Now that is truly a royal flush. Love how they're so in sync .
If you think it’s starting to rot? Cut it out or you’ll be doing it again in 2yrs. Tie your fiberglass in really really good. If you have a vacuum pump? Use it to pull your resin into voids by drilling a small hole where you want the resin to flow to.
Since a chemical bond has long gone..you want a mechanical bond... this is a job for epoxy resin.
you'll want to "bed" coosa board into a mix of resin and fumed silica or something else (chopped glass can work but silica is great to stuff to use) to make up a slurry of light weight material to act as a grout like filler for all the gaps.
Almost nothing worse than working with fiberglass. I hated delivering it as a truck driver. Owen's corning fiberglass was always a floor load for a Hardware store I used to deliver to up I Calais Maine so I had to handle each and every role. In the winter time it wasn't a problem because I was always bundled up and that pesky fiberglass couldn't get on me but in the warm and hot months OMG did that suck!!
the first boat i ever bought used the guy i got it from told me // a boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into. and he was right. hope your hole is less costly than mine was LOL..
You all made a fella smile real big because of your communication! That is a key, a major key to success.
Remember that it is a Bayliner and it will be so much better after you two fix it!
I am a pilot and always enjoyed your podcasts from the Skyhawk but for some reason these boat episodes have had me hooked from the beginning. Keep them coming, I'm addicted.
A few years ago we were fixing a boat that had a reupholster drill through the floor. Guess where it leaked. We visited a wholesaler and he gave us tips on what to do. We followed the person's instructions and voilà. Of course the prep work took most of the time. We took the outboard motor off. We did it before we got too old. The boat works well. Everything went according to plan. The fishing was worth it all. I used to tease the friend's grandson with, "I won’t go fishing with you Jake, but I'll go chasin' women." ( . . . apologies to Stuart Hamblen) . . . Jacob was about 10 years old back then. . . . he would rather be fishin' then, . . . now I'm not so sure. 😊
Missed your boat videos glad to see you working on the boat...
From wrapping cars, sanding cars, rebuilding boat transoms, rebuilding cars and all while looking pretty doing it!!! You to Aaron! What a great channel to watch!!!!
Guys, that was well done. Simple inexpensive fix when doing it yourselves. Having more than my share of fiberglass work on Vette and boats, I can say, you guys nailed this repair. Thought the thickened material was a bit think but should work. Ratio of glass to resin is critical for strength. Your fiberglass overlay should be cloth not chopped mat. Final layers, and you need several, can tie this together. Looks good. Have fun and stay safe.
Never saw this channel. You are a STUNNING woman.
Thank god you went with Coosa, awesome video, you guys make it fun to watch.
Great seeing the two of you working hand in hand making a better life for each other. That is real keep up the good work. I realize you probably already know but taking the coldest shower you can stand will help get the glass out of the pores of your skin.
