She's taking shape! I am fortunate to have glass stringers in my 78' Glas Ply but....the floor and foam does need to be replaced! That's a messy job, nicely done!
I really like how you look at your options for the “quick fix” and then cut away everything and anything that is not a solid foundation. That you are restoring this for your boys, eventually, when they are older is great. It is not a race, but a journey.I love your videos!😀🇨🇦
Having gone through more than one boat rebuild it is painful to watch you do this part without using a circular saw for the long stretches😂😂 I am excited to see what you come up with and it’s great to see you not skip steps and cover up rot!
The Dewalt multi tool is brilliant. The switch gives trouble after a while. We use them in construction all the time. Great project. You will be happy the first day on the water. I converted my Bayliner to take a 250hp Yamaha two stroke and it was brilliant.
You can’t go wrong with Yamaha! My dad uses his quite frequently too in the construction field and that’s what turned me on to them! Thanks for following along!
Man do I feel your pain. I just ripped all of the stringers and trying some out of my bass boat. I am extremely discouraged. It is what it is I guess. Time to learn
Men what a trooper you are, great job. I think the problem was in the process on bonding the ply with the fiber glass, it looked weak so water just went in with no restriction. The good news is doing it right will add 20+ years to the boat's life so your kids will enjoy it with their kids...keep it up champ it is looking amazing 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Much appreciated! Thank you for the support through these videos and steps on bringing this old girl back to life! Part 2 on the starboard side should be out shortly!
Watching and waiting for that moment when the floor comes up and it's just a horror show of rot underneath. This diamond is looking rougher than it first appeared, but bravo for your dedication. I'm thinking about how much pride of ownership it will instill after you battle through all this work.
Austin! Just stumbled across your channel and binge watched all six episodes. You're doing great work, both in terms of the labor of love on the boat and with your video editing. Practice indeed does make improvement! And having future adventures with, and seeing the smiles on, your two little incentives (your sons) will make all the expense and effort worth it! ... If I may, on days/evenings that you're not out there working on her, I recommend having a look at Andy's channel, "BoatworksToday", and Mads channel, "Sail Life", for some really helpful hints. Especially Mads! He is doing a lot of the same work on the second of his two sailboats and provides some really good insight and entertainment ("Oh Glorious Sanding!"). Andy is great with fiberglass work. Another commenter mentioned Coosa; Andy also uses it and highly recommends it. It is expensive, but is apparently so worth it. ... Disclaimer - I own the boat you see as my profile picture; a 1973 Luhrs T360. My grandfather bought her new and literally dropped the keys into my hand a couple decades ago. I'm also in the process of renovating her, but have had to pause a couple years. In the meantime, I've been fortunate to gain insight from those more experienced than I, especially the two mentioned above (otherwise I wouldn't recommend their channels!). You just gained yet another subscriber, and I wish you all the best with this project! Keep up the great work!! (By the way, its not a "floor". Its a "deck"!! This coming from USN retiree and fellow boat owner.) ;)
Thank you for following along and showing me support! Andy is a magician and really enjoy all his videos and helps me feel more confident doing my own projects! I come from a construction background, being my dad is a contractor so it’s hard to train my brain to say “deck” haha. I really appreciate the time you spent watching the videos! I will keep in touch! Thank you again!
I live on a lake in Texas and would love to have a boat like this. I fish in all weather so having that cabin would be great for cold nights out running jugs. If I drink too much I could just take a nap..
Im really enjoying this and ive never done anything like it but its pushing me closer ive been wanting a sea dory or Olympic boat and your pushing me to pull the trigger i aint scared.
That’s awesome! I hope you do it because it will be worth it! You also gain tons of experience that you can add to your belt 👍 thanks for the support and I look forward to hearing about your project!
Just ran across your channel, good work on the documenting. And I also really like the oscillating tool for doing this type of demo work. Just so you know you are not alone... I am also in the middle of a 1976 20 ft sea ray that sat for 14 years. I also found the floor and stringers rotten. I was surprised to find that a major boat company did not even wrap their stringers and did such a poor job of sealing the inside of the boat. At least your foam looked fairly dry, mine was really soggy on the bottom. I found using a key hole saw to section off small areas allowed me to break away chunks with a crow bar. Keep up the good work, I will be following along now.
@@LindellAdventures Austin, if you do indeed decide to install outboard engines, you may need to strengthen the transom. I doubt very much that the original transom was built to handle the static weight and dynamic load of one or more outboard engines. I recommend watching Andy of "Boatworks Today". He is presently doing the exact same thing with the transom of his Bertram 25; converting from I/O to outboard.
I think I have watched every episode of Andy’s channel haha. I am planning on adding additional support in the back to help support the 300 Suzuki and offshore bracket. The transom in 2 3/4 right now if I can remember correctly. Once the stringers are out I will begin the transom side of things and evaluate from there on replacing or making it stronger! Thank you for following along!
ive wanted to get an older boat and redo it, the fiberglass has always scared me away from them. although im on the east coast and in the mountains we spend a ton of time on the lakes around here. ive always wanted a 24' + 1/2 cabin boat for fishing in the winter and camping on in the summer
All I would suggest is to make sure you have a lot of time and not be in a hurry. If I would have done what a lot of people suggested, I wouldn’t have found the major issues with the boat that could really do some damage! You should go for it though! There is a ton of boats just sitting that will be great boats. If you do decide to do it, let me know because I’d love to hear about it! Thanks for watching!
Reminds me of my first boat! You're doing great work on the demo, however I'd recommend using a "Fast Forward" on your camera to blitz through the long periods of sawing and ripping out soft wood. Regardless of the junk that comes out of your project, you're going to end up with a good hull too restore the way you want.
I would like to but it won't let me get close enough to the side and the oscillating tool gets it really close. It takes longer to cut but in the long run it will save me time!
Have really enjoyed this series so far. I’m doing the EXACT same thing on an 1979 21’ Glasply. I’m in the Puget Sound and can’t wait to go boating near the San Juan’s!!
love the video. Imy wife and I are planning on buying a house near the water and I have been debating if I should get a damaged/salvage type boat and restore. do you have a good resource for what materials to use or not use and other tips? ive never done a boat project, but love to build and work with my hands. cant wait to see finished project
We all were new at some point so I’d say go for it! It is a ton of work, time, and money but when you’re done, it will be your creation! The best thing I can say is Andy over at Boatworks today on TH-cam is a great teacher! A ton of help and knowledge! Best of luck to you! Feel free to send a message on Instagram or Facebook if you have more questions!
Don't go back with wood. Honeycomb fiberglass board is stronger, lighter, and doesn't rot. Wood is the cheap route (my opinion). Also, with cleaning foam, make a vacuum drum. Then you just seal, pull, replace the bag. No foam bits or fiberglass dust flying. I learned the hard way....✌
I will look into both of those ideas! I am always open to ideas! What oz. size matt did you use for your floor with the honeycomb? I plan to use 24 oz matting. Thank you for the support!
@@LindellAdventures 24 is good. Nice thing about the board is it allows you to run a little lighter matting with all the strength. Kills me to see people put wood back in a transom. Spend all that time gutting bad wood only to replace it with....wood. Haha. You'll like that board. www.fisheriessupply.com/coosa-board-bluewater-20-series-marine-board
Yeah it is! If the transom is indeed rotten I will use Coosa board for sure or something like it. I like the link you sent and seems reasonable. I will for sure look into it more! Thank you!
hi you can get different blades for your DeWalt Oscillating tool flat knife blade would good to use on flat even surface (foam removal ) there is a u tuber that is worth watching BoatWorks Today Andy he just bought a new blade it vid two or three back from last here some thing i learned many years ago long b 4 u tube in regards fibreglass boats any and all ply used in the making is consider suss till you see it not as you are finding out via this removal of decks i'll follow you along on your channel
Awesome! Thanks for the info! I watch Andy’s videos and he was one of my main reasons I felt like I could take on a project like this. He is a very good teacher and hope one day I can be too!
Thank you Dennis for following along this project! For the tool blades, I am still on the first blade and it hasn’t shown any wear so far. I have been putting it through the ropes to test it out and these titanium blades are amazing! I have 6 blades for it so far! Part 2 coming soon, port side next!
I HATE Pour-in foam...it's boat suicide when it's put it under decking. Ii just removed 120 lbs of water logged pour in foam from a small boat that some paranoid goof poured in in there 10 years ago. Thankfully nothing was rotted, except I had to cut out the wet deck to remove the shit. I'm NOT putting back in. Manufacturer didn't put in so I'm not either. Horrible shit. They're called air buoyancy decks for a reason. I've seen so many boats screwed from pour in foam. Good video....great tools and techniques to remove! Thank you...👍
I want to take my time and not be in a rush with it so I’m hoping around a year. That is a very generous thought with the issues that are there! But you never know. Thank you following along on the project!
Ok, boatbuilding 101, the wood makes the stringers strong is not nessarlly true. They would if not properly glassed . It's the multi layers of glass that makes them strong, the core can be foam. Many boats built now-a-days have stringers, bulkheads etc foam cored. Only wood found in good quailty glass boats is the lipstick and mascara.
Just take it out side and watched it burn 🔥 because it’s never going to get back to the original level I have used boat and it was thinking about replacing the boat entire thing is that last month my outboard motor broke off the back of my boat 😮and that just made me feel like letting it go and making a new boat from scratch I have experience with fiberglass and it love the older style type boats so I’m going with a fiberglass boat with a new twist it’s going to look like a boat that is from the 74 movie jaws I love the boat but it’s going to have to be upgraded we’re I can live on it as well as it I get started I will share pictures and it progressing best of luck would ever get the boat but once it started taking water it will never be the same boat
That's what I was wanting to do but it doesn't like paint, fiberglass, or really anything. It also has to be screwed or it comes apart over time with glue...
You really don't need to take all that foam out of there just cut on each side of the Stringer cut the foam about 5 inches from the rotten Stringer and put the new Stringer in and fiberglass it to the floor if you use one of those tree cutting ties with the real coarse teeth you can cut through the foam and pull it out as a whole piece well keep up the good work he got a lot of it ahead of you and you'll be very proud when you get it all done and the boats in the water
Cutting 5” away for each stringer would give 2 inches of foam in between each stringer. The stringers aren’t far enough apart and plus the foam was water logged on the hull part but it would be nice! Removing it would be nice but the glass was layer up fairly thick. It wasn’t too bad removing it!
I have more tools that would work, but I was trying out the new tool to see what it could do. The oscillating tool gets really close to the hull so that why I use it so much. Thanks for watching!
I have made my money back, plus some (Engine, outdrive, gimble, etc). It's a ton of work but I am doing this for the experience and rebuilding something that doesn't deserve to rot into the ground. The trailer is in good shape. If you watch the first video you can what all came with the boat. Thank you for tagging along!
I appreciate how you track down the leak source to show the damages it caused down below. This is very informative for anyone renovating a boat
Thank you! Trying my best 👍
Keep the piece you pulled out as a nice pattern for a replacement. That’s going to be a great boat when you’re done. Be as good as a new boat.
What a great tool to use trimming out that old floor.
She's taking shape! I am fortunate to have glass stringers in my 78' Glas Ply but....the floor and foam does need to be replaced! That's a messy job, nicely done!
Olympics and Glasply’s are one of my favorite boats! Grew up on both! You in Washington?
@@LindellAdventures yessir!

They are made out of Washington for many years and are known to lots of people around the PNW. They are known for their hulls and durability 👍
@@LindellAdventures thanks. I’m a south Florida guy. Can’t wait to see the finished project
Consider rebuilding with Aluminum bonded panels.
On which part of the boat? I think I have an idea what part you’re talking about.
I need to do the same.
Doing a great job love the sound of the tools vs. The music love watching the progress. What part of Washington are you at

Hey boss what kind of tool is that
Your finding out like most of us with a project boat going, that if there’s wood it’s prolly rotten
It’s a sad reality haha.
ok aney one else just floored by how fast the oscillating tool zips through the fiberglass ?
It’s a great tool!

I was just trying to cut as close to the hull as possible to cut down on sanding in the future but you made a good point!
What's with all the foam?, seems like alot of waisted storage space? 🤔
Probably used to noise dampen but not entirely sure. My plan is to have some storage in place if it 👍
What is your timeframe for this project?
I want to take my time and not be in a rush with it so I’m hoping around a year. That is a very generous thought with the issues that are there! But you never know. Thank you following along on the project!

Cutting 5” away for each stringer would give 2 inches of foam in between each stringer. The stringers aren’t far enough apart and plus the foam was water logged on the hull part but it would be nice! Removing it would be nice but the glass was layer up fairly thick. It wasn’t too bad removing it!
@@LindellAdventures I know what you mean the foam holds alot of water keep up the good work great videos
Should have cut it out with the sawall. Or a chainsaw. Seen other guys do that way.
Would have been faster, I just use what I have even though it takes longer 👍
Get stronger power tools you would be surprised how quickly you can demo it. i did a full boat build
I have more tools that would work, but I was trying out the new tool to see what it could do. The oscillating tool gets really close to the hull so that why I use it so much. Thanks for watching!
Hope the trailer is worth more than 1000 dollars, cause that boat sure is negative equity.
I have made my money back, plus some (Engine, outdrive, gimble, etc). It's a ton of work but I am doing this for the experience and rebuilding something that doesn't deserve to rot into the ground. The trailer is in good shape. If you watch the first video you can what all came with the boat. Thank you for tagging along!
Great job you might want to check out shots life on youtube he is also in the middle of a rebuild
Thank you! I will do that!
comment for algo
Thank you for supporting me through these videos! Part 2 coming soon! Thank you again!
Too many ads
I will go in and place them so there isn’t so many! Thank you for the input!
It's boring watching every inch of cutting........
Beginning of editing for the first time definitely shows itself the first half of my videos! I'm trying haha
