Wow, thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words! I hope the channel can become the go-to source for fiberglass and gelcoat content on TH-cam. I'm happy to share with you all!
I like to learn every day. I learned from several places like Andy at Boatworks, my hydroplane building friends,and a somewhat local boatshop. Done several transoms myself with good success. But I learned a new trick or 2 here today. And one is gonna solve an issue with the jet boat transom I'm about to do. I built my clamps! More like overbuilt lol. Thank you for the knowledge! Hope you bought the cameraman a cold pop!
I'm both a professional Shipwright/Joiner and DIY enthusiast. Despite being more knowledgeable than most, GRP isn't my trade. I have a transom rebuild to do on my own little day boat, amongst other jobs😄 Always learning something from you. Thank you, and son 👍☺️
Fantastic! I appreciate having other skilled professionals watching and commenting on the channel. I'm happy to help and share our families boatbuilding and fiberglass experience with everyone. Thanks for watching and commenting!
VERY timely! I will be doing this shortly. Your tips on polishing old gel coat were a lifesaver on my old boat that sat for 44 years in the desert. It turned out great. Unbelievable really. Thank you!
Excellent more tips - I am leaning towards vinyl polyester I also love the prep fibre cloth markings from chopped to woven type - also those screws on the prep coat bench - never thought of that - thanks from down under
@ Joe, did your dad also have trouble finding the right people to work for him? May dad almost always worked alone. He couldn’t find people who would work hard and also have their head in the game. In other words, people who would think ahead and get things prepared for the next step without being told to. It wasn’t that long hours were required. It was about being focused on the job you are doing. You shouldn’t apologize for doing “long videos “. Your videos are well edited and supply good detailed knowledge. You can be proud of both your boats and your videos.
Another awesome video, Thanks Joe. I very much appreciate all the effort that goes into making them. Personally I wouldn't mind if they were 2 hours, there's no filler in your videos, it's all valuable. I've been waiting to see you do a transom. Now I'll feel much more confident if I find a good deal on a project boat.
Hi Captain Joe! Wow! Excellent tips in this episode! You have - BY FAR - the best fiberglass repair content on TH-cam! I can't express how much I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us DIY'ers! I can't wait to see part 2! Take care and all the best from California!🧡
As l get older l never get tired of learning especially when it comes to working on a situation such as my own boat even tho l am not going to be getting as deep as you will with this project. Yet all the tips that relate to the materials you are using and the way you prep the fiberglass, the amount of vinyl ester to mix up adds up to the project coming out with a beautiful result! Yes Joe l really appreciate the many hour it took you to provide us with a shorten version knowing we will most likely need to expect that l will have to put in all the prep work if l want my boat to look good! Thanks Joe!
I certainly appreciate your videos and the time you invest, and believe that you are the absolute best on U Tube for teaching all of us non professionals. I have repairs screw holes and a big whiskey ding on the edge of the anchor locker on my boat. I had my I pad with me and watched them did some work, then watched again and did more and repeated until it actually came out way better than i expected, you lessons really work, Thank you Captain Joe and a big thanks to your camera man Logan, he does an excellent job of getting close in there so we all can see exactly what your doing.
Wow, what a genuinely nice comment! I am so glad to hear the videos are helping people with their projects and repairs! It really is a very satisfying feeling to build or repair something that needs a little TLC. I truly appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your experience with the channel!
Capt Joe fish bump family Thankful for your time and sharing long video content it has changed my total fiberglassing experience y'all are doing a very good thing many blessings Fish bump family!
Wow, thanks so much for the support. I'm glad to hear the channel is helping you with your projects and your overall comfort level when working with fiberglass. Then positive feedback means a lot to me!
Joe, You just solved a long debate I have been having with my self. Wether to lay up both sheets of ply and then set the transom or do it one sheet at a time. Also solved, setting in putty vs just using a fresh layer of CSM first. Thanks again!
That’s awesome man we just put a new coosa transome on are Seevee 25’ wish I saw your vedio, before we paid a guy could of saved a lot. Thanks for your vedio’s here appreciate your work and teaching us all. Merry Christmas to you and your family Capt. joe 🎄
Ahh, Seavees are cool boats man!! I would like to find an older one to do a restoration on for the channel someday. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
I’ve been holding out on laminating mine in until I seen this video!! Cannot wait for the next vid so I can get crackin on mine! I’m using vinylester, csm, biax and multiple layers of ply as I have a curve in my transom that it needs to conform too so not sure how I’ll clamp it yet but still this helps!! Hopefully with all I’ve learned it’ll be strong Watched every vid on your channel and learning so much, they actually made me stop stressing and got me to make the first cut so please keep these long vids and tips coming 👌
I'm excited for you! The vinyl ester resin from fiberglass warehouse is the best I have ever used, and they offer a discount code for fish bump tv viewers. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
See so many people replace from the outside but I think. Inside is the only way to do this correctly…on the outside your just glueing it on but inside you can tie it into the sides of the boat.
Absolutely! You are right! Working from the inside is the most structurally sound approach! I do understand why some other methods might be used in some situations, but I always prefer the way we are doing this transom if possible. Thanks for watching!
Just keep doing your videos like you have been. They have been very informative and useful teachings for the DIY community. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Could you laminate the 2 pieces of Coosa together, let it set, and then laminate them to the transom? Thanks for the video.
Thanks, will do! Yes, you could do that, although I usually prefer 1 layer at a time in the boat. It's just a personal preference thing. Appreciate you watching!
Another great video! I'm not concerned by boats but cars but is there so much difference in the approach when we speak composites? We can see that preparation (cutting panels, fiberglass, pre-fitting, marking and so on...) is the most important part of the work, time consuming but so crucial for the final result when it's time to put the final touch meaning applying the resin. I'm always impress how you speak so easily when you put the resin...perso I can't 😄
Thanks! There should be lots of possible applications for the techniques and materials we are using. Cars, rvs, homes, swimming pools etc. A little testing and experimenting on different applications is always a good idea. I hope the videos inspire folks to build and repair lots of different things out there!
Thanks very much again to you both for taking the time to make these videos, you guys are absolute legends 🏆it makes my day when I see you guys have uploaded a new video. I’m really enjoying this project boat, wonder what postage would be to Australia 🤔👍🇦🇺
Many years ago, our family built some boats using sea flex. It seems like a good product, but foam core construction has become more popular for one-off boat construction over the last few years. Thanks for watching!
Glad to hear that you are enjoying the videos! We don't have many I/Os down this way, but I would imagine some of the tips in this transom replacement series should be helpful. Who knows, maybe we will do one in the future. Thanks for watching!
In the video, you just installed the first layer of CSM. Now you're installing the first layer of 1708 Biaxial. Does the CSM side of the 1708 go against the first layer of CSM or does the woven side of the 1708 go against the first layer of CSM?
Yes, it is possible, but not every boat is well suited for the alternate method. I will try to make a video on some transom replacement options in the future. Thanks for watching!
Sorry if this is slightly off-topic but it does relate; if someone converts an older i/o drive to outboard bracket as I've been seeing some folks do online, what does that mean to the strength of the rear of the boat? Not just the transom. You're sticking the weight of the outboard even further back beyond the transom. Using plumber's logic,.. loads are transferred from the transom to the hull itself and isn't leverage increased? l like the idea of brackets on such craft but if they aren't designed for it,...............
I've done it but it was a smaller 18 foot boat that had an old blown I/O. The boat ran great and wasn't stern heavy after the conversion. The I/O was way heavier than the outboard I hung on it so even with the minimal extension off the transom from the jack plate it wasn't an issue as far as the boat sitting correctly. In my situation the transom was rotted out so I rebuilt the transom more beefy and tied it into the stringers/ floor and It was solid. I was more concerned about the weight being moved and balanced and how the boat sits and rides. Many boats have outboards so making it strong enough wasn't an issue but rather will the boat perform as it was designed to. I just went around and measured some peoples transom thickness, you can also google there boat and see what the manufacture rates there transom HP at whether its rated for twins and just use your best judgement as far as transom thickness and work required. Some people use the armstrong bracket which basically hull extension and has floatation built into it too, there's options but whether it worth your time and money is the other question or just buy something that was designed for outboards.
@@Cameron-ur2tk Wow. Thanks for detailed explanation. You said; "I rebuilt the transom more beefy and tied it into the stringers/ floor and It was solid." That's what I was thinking. Tying the transom to the stringers - just in case. I read of one guy suffering floor flex with the outboard conversion because it hadn't been tied in correctly. It's a great idea in our opinion and it puts a lot of older boats back into service. I/O's are o-k but have their problems, (don't ask how I know, lol),. Thanks again. Cheers.
@@jimp.7286 That boat I/O coversion the transom looked similar to this videos boat transom but full height. I ended up doing 2 layer of 3/4 ply to bring it up flush with everything else glassed it all in and then added an an additional piece spanning the entire transom from side to side. The 2 things that threw me off was the old outboard i put on it was a mechanical cable to steer it, getting the geometry wasnt going to work without being a huge pain so i just went to hydraulic and bought a seastar system and retrofittted it which is much nicer than cable steer. The other thing to consider is how far the outboard can tilt up and not interfere / hit the back of transom. Might need to cut it down or create a splashwell so the outboard can tilt up all the way so it can lock into place or factor that in if your going to use a jack plate.
@@Cameron-ur2tk I hadn't thought about hitting the transom tilted up nor the steering. Create a splash well, (but possibly a small one),. One thing I failed to mention,..I'm in the pacific northwest. The ocean can get pretty rough up north - hulls get smacked around. I pictured the outboard hanging out back there and being rough on the mounting points. I knew more and more people were doing it but wasn't sure it'd fit my mission profile. That was why I was asking in the first place. You've given me much to think about. Really appreciate it. Cheers again. 👍👍
I talked to the folks at Coosa board the other day about that. The Bluewater 32 was designed primarily for the big triple and quad engine offshore center consoles and other very high load and stress applications. It's probably more than the average boat needs, but it could be used in any transom replacement if you thought you wanted it. The only negative is that it costs more per sheet. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
@ thanks for the reply! I actually found the answer in a different episode of yours (making stringers out plywood) Thank you for all the information you provided throughout your TH-cam channel
If you made hour long videos we would still watch because they are so educational you are the man Joe
Oh wow!! That is a very nice thing to say, much appreciated!
Without a doubt the best boat build how to videos on you tube. You’re a great teacher.
Wow, thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words! I hope the channel can become the go-to source for fiberglass and gelcoat content on TH-cam. I'm happy to share with you all!
I'd like to say I watch your videos to learn to build a boat. But what I'm really here for is to see you get something on your shirt 😂
Hahaha! That made me laugh! I don't like messin up my nice blue shirts now! Thanks for watching anyway
I finally went out of my way to try Fiberglass Warehouse, Highly recommended 😊
Thanks for trying us out!
