Wow! That hull is cleaning up nice! Plus, no hole outs. Great to see you taking the time to get things perfect before moving on. Good choices on materials too. The more wood you can eliminate, the better!
I started watching your videos in late March 2022, 9 months after you started. Very impressed with the change in you. Very maturing experience for you. Your self confidence has grown enormous as the project progressed. congratulations. I will continue to watch if you finish. Congratulations on your new daughter!
Impressive! Your boat should turn out better than the builder intended! Some foam added would be great for insulation, an buoyancy making it a unsinkable Titanic. If you’re already there, do as much as you can to make it the boat of your dreams, and a boat that will last you a lifetime! Your dad will be jealous of how well your boat is rebuilt .
Congrats! I am glad that you were able to motivate yourself to continue with the project! You and and your family will be able to have some great memories in the near future, just like you had with your father!
Howdy from Australia! I stumbled across your channel and binge watched the vids up to here. Love the work your putting in, as I have been dreaming of getting a boat like this for ages. One like this - even in the same condition dont come up around here, so living my life through your vids. Keep up the work, at the end of the day you will be over the moon once done. Good job man. Subscribed so i can keep up with your progress.
OMG, that was another brutal job, I really felt for you on that one! I had to laugh when you found, finally, a good piece of wood! Looks like it turned out really well and the surface is ready, another big step achieved.
We usually just drain our anchor lockers straight overboard. 2 one inch pieces of glass tubing angled aft and down will keep it drained at all times and it can't really ever get clogged. I feel like I am at work watching your vids.
There is a drain hole for the storage but it's right at the water line and have seen if any weight is in the boat up front as far as additional anchors 150lbs + if will get water inside. Still haven't quite decided on the route for this but that is a good idea!
Great job once again! It is nice seeing you take your time and doing things the right way. So many times we see people wanting to rush to the end and skip steps. Also it is good to see you have the priorities right on where to spend your money. Having an expensive belt sander doesn't help if you have to skimp out on materials for the boat. Thanks for the video and sharing your boat rebuilding journey with us!
Thanks! I don’t want to run without learning the correct way to walk haha I just try to make educated decisions with research and first hand experience haha
awesome boat restoration you got going on! and youre in the same state im in! i like watching/doing fiberglass work on boats. me and my brother are currently finishing up a 20ft radon!
Well the cheap belt sander looks like it did a good job , wandering how many sanding belts you went thru Lol , well you have a clean slat now looks good man . The next videos ought to get interesting, materials = money $$
A lot, if not most quality boats are solid glass below the water line. As it only takes a small crack (on bottom where it goes un-noticed) for water to get in the core. You're talking about putting n 4 or 5 layers, plus a core which will require more resin and thicken resin(weight) to bond the core. 5 layers of 1708 is very strong. You can make a test strip to just how strong and impact resistant it really is. by doing a test strip you can see if you need to put out the extra expense of a core. do a 1 by 3 foot test, it can be cut up for other uses later . Two layers of glass, install stringers and other supports, the 3 layers of glass
I have noticed more weight with glass hulls compared to the closed cell foam since it doesn’t take too much resin to bond. I am hoping the 2-3 layers will help strengthen the hull and coring to take hard blows. Thank you for the info! I will keep that in mind!
@@LindellAdventures Opps, I didn't realize you were building a high speed power boat. I though it was just a little weekend cabin cruiser that may be beached occasionally. cool.
Vacuumbagging.....look into it when laying fhe core material. Also make sure shes not warping by making sure shes level! Btw have you ever visited the website : i boats ? Tons of boatbuilder tips, wisdom and how to
I took quite a few measurements off the bottom and inside to make sure and I may have a person with vacuum bagging equipment. We shall see! It’s a good site and knowledgeable people. Have seen some very bad comments on there too but that is everywhere it seems! Just need to keep doing all the research I can 👍
@@LindellAdventures Great. Vacuum bagging is a terrific way to get all the airpockets out .. Glad you checked out the site. I havent been on there for years but at the time it had some really good people on there..Anyway, Cant wait to see your progress now that the prepping is as good as done. Slow and steady !
I say this in jest... mostly... Might have been less work to cut the top of the boat off, flip the bottom over, make a mold from the bottom and lay up a new hull THEN put the top back on!! Great work, love the way it's coming out... your determination is much admired.
@@LindellAdventures You did just fine, Laying a new hull ? Might as well buy a new boat ! But that would take all the fun out of it not even mentioning the cost..Again, keep on doing what youre doing !
Wow! That hull is cleaning up nice! Plus, no hole outs. Great to see you taking the time to get things perfect before moving on. Good choices on materials too. The more wood you can eliminate, the better!
Exactly! No wood will be left after it’s all done 👍 (except the hardtop) no worries anymore! It came out a lot nicer than expected!

Just plugging away and will get to the finish line one day! Just taking my time and do it right the first time 👍

Thank you! The plan is to have a foam core and fill some cavities for noise and insulation for the fish box 👍
Great job. Congratulations on your new baby
Thank you!
So glad you’re continuing with the videos. There’s a lot of us cheering you on!
Thank you! I feel the support every time people comment. It’s a great feeling, thank you!
Congrats! I am glad that you were able to motivate yourself to continue with the project! You and and your family will be able to have some great memories in the near future, just like you had with your father!
Exactly what I am hoping for! It’s a great boat and look forward to getting her back on the water!
Good to see you back. A very methodical process, but the end result should be phenomenal. Keep on keepin’ on!
Thank you! I am looking forward to the building process!
Great jobs on what your doing. Between yesterday and today I watched most of your boat videos. You just gained another follower.
Great to have you!
Impressive! It must feel great to have a blank canvas, ready to build.
It was a chore but I am glad I did why I did after seeing the end result!
Have you ever done anything like this before? You seem like a pro keep up the excellent work just binged all the videos
Thanks! Never done anything like this. First time for everything 👍

Keep up the great work my friend, it's getting really good.
Thank you!
Nice job! keep rolling along! Looks awesome! Will look even better when you start laying that glass down!! Very nice job!! 👍👍👊👊
Like putting makeup on a pig haha she will get there in time 👍
@@LindellAdventures Keep applying that makeup! Your doing a great job with the foundation! LOL 😂🤣😂🤣👍👍👊👊
Just recently found your channel. Looks like a ton of work but it's going to be awesome when it's finished. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you! I am looking forward to it!
Check out Armstrong brackets to hang your engine . They are really well made .
PDR brackets are very good brackets and would trust them with my life (and motors) haha
OMG, that was another brutal job, I really felt for you on that one! I had to laugh when you found, finally, a good piece of wood! Looks like it turned out really well and the surface is ready, another big step achieved.
At least there was something still intact! Glad it’s all cleaned up now!

That sounds like a good project! Got any pictures of the boat?
@@LindellAdventures yea i do! i can send you a few pics.
Awesome work. As always, I look forward to more updates videos.
It’s coming along! Now the fun stuff!

Haha you got that right! I only went through 4 belts but that is because they broke at the seem… I was guessing it would be more around 3 in total 👍

Remember you always start wit mat then roving , mat roving .
Nice work. I understand the brutal job man, also took on a rotten boat. Have a picture montage up. check it out if you have time. Again, nice work.
Thanks! I will go check it out!
