Wow, you said it would take you a year. Man you’re knocking it out. Looks good. What I’ve learned by watching TH-cam boat building is that if you plan ahead and take your time things turn out so much better. Thanks for sharing, maybe you can film yourself working on it. Keep it rolling.
Yes I’ve actually finished installing all the planned pieces. Going to flip it over tomorrow to work on the underside. The long days of sanding and fairing are coming. Will have an update posted later next week
Looks awesome man! I have no idea on your fiberglass, but I am right there with you! I have a few more pieces to cut out on my frs-14, and then I'll be stitching and staring at my own work wondering if it's correct too. 😅
Not a pretty glass job on this inside, but it doesnt matter. It looks like you did a great job. Should hold up no problem. Next time try wetting out the glass on a plastic or trash bag, roll it out, and then put it into the boat. Much easier!
I thought about that after seeing how this dried. I’ve got some better fillets in the rest of the boat and will make sure they’re nice and thick when I do other parts being fiberglassed. Especially the keel
@@LightningCapitalLiving If I had to do it all over again, I would cut out all of the fiberglass pieces for each compartment. Then lay down fillets in each compartment one by one while glassing at the same time. Reason being is, the thickened epoxy acts like glue. It holes onto the glass better. But with 1208, it's a bit tougher since the fabric is thick with the mat backing material. You're doing a great job bro.. Keep it up!
@@FishingWithHoang lol I was just telling a buddy there are a few “if I could do it again” moments for sure. I cut out all the fiberglass today so just have to resin it in now
I may be wrong, but I wouldn't spend too much time sanding on rough looking fillets that are going to be enclosed in the never to be seen floor of the boat. Maybe smooth them out so that the fiberglass lays over them smooth, but I wouldn't be concerned with aesthetics. Also, curious why you are working outside of the the boat to the center, instead of center working outboard? Not being critical, just curious. Also, have you considered a saturation table where you coat the compartment with epoxy, then take your pre-measured piece of fiberglass and wet it out on the table, then place it? I've seen that as a process, and curious if it has real world application. Following along dude.
I saw that recommended but I’m limited on my space in the garage. I’m just working out to in simply because that’s the easiest piece to reach right now. Have to get on a step stool to reach down into the keel. This one piece was kind of my first try, but I have all the pieces dry cut out now and will probably work center to outward going forward. I didn’t have to do a ton of sanding on the fillets just wanted them to be a little more smooth than they were to start. I might have to try and make a saturation table because it seems like wet glass would be easier to lay and roll than putting it in dry and soaking with resin on the boat
@@LightningCapitalLiving All good man. I'm with you on the space quandary. What I have learned is that if you take a 10' tent and spread the base of the legs for a little more room, the end walls won't close water tight. This was a lesson I learned in the downpour Sunday. Step by step my man.

@@LightningCapitalLiving be looking forward to it.
Thank you

Get yours going again it was a lot of fun

Thank you. I actually went with that wet table method after this and it’s been going much smoother now.
For future reference. Lay down a fat bead of fillet. The glass will conform over the larger radius better and the larger fillets are stiffer.
