- Coosa composite panels are a Strong, Lightweight, and Rot proof Alternative to Marine Plywood. For these reasons, we have chosen to use it exclusively in building our 29 ft custom Bay Boat. In this video, I will show some of the BEST Tools, Blades, and Techniques that we have found during our build. I am sure this video will save you TIME and MONEY, so join us in the Boat Shop as we cut and fit some COOSA BOARD!! fish bump tv Fish Bump TV coosa Coosa board Coosa panels fiberglass coosa cutting coosa composites best blades for cutting coosa sanding coosa boat building custom boat building How to build a boat with coosa board Island Marine Charters captain Joe Buskens Fishing gulf shores fishing orange beach fishing fort morgan
Very nice work. Learning all the tips to fix my old boat up. Thank you.
Glad to help, and I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Thank you for the video. Very helpful!
You are welcome! Glad to help!
Yes, this Coosa Board is some top notch stuff & it's too bad the stuff is so darned expensive..... lol, in fact at those prices I'd most
likely save any of it to use around a project. I did see a transom redone using this & as I saw that repair it told me why one should
keep water out of your vessel if at all possible! Even marine plywood will give way to moisture & I suspect this Coosa can as well
but I've never seen it be saturated, YET? Great series & thanks for the videos. peace
Yes, it would be nice if it was a less expensive, but it is a very good product. It won't soak water or rot like wood can, so it can certainly be worth the extra cost for some jobs. Glad you are enjoying the videos and I appreciate you watching!
Thanks for the information, i am replace my transom on a Lund Pro V and you made it look easy.
Glad the videos helped and I wish you the best with your transom project!
Another fascinating video of a true craftsman at work. Thanks for sharing Capt. Joe!
Thank You Mr. Tom! Glad You enjoyed the Vid. I really appreciate You watching!
Looks like you know what you are doing! A craftsman at work. Like the videos. Jim
Thank you, Jim I try to make it look that way!
Impressive work, I just found your channel, and I have been loving it. Your a real craftsman and great presenter!
Thank you very much! We will have more videos coming soon. If you have any content requests, or suggestions I would like to hear them, and I appreciate you watching and commenting.
I love how you progress and don't potter along showing repetitive processes. I get antsy watching videos where people use that for filler because they don't have enough useful content.
Thanks, Jon! I appreciate the positive feedback. I will keep that in mind for future videos.
Awesome project and channel!
Thanks, Jeff! I appreciate you watching. I will have more Boatbuilding content coming soon.
This is a fantastic channel and I’m just catching up with everything. Built a stitch and glue skiff and need another project!
Thanks so much, glad you are enjoying the channel! More videos coming soon for you guys!
pretty awesome
Glad you think so!
Love the way this video starts!! Great camera work!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Camera Man Logan did good!

@@FishBumpTV Thank you very much
Watching an artist and his masterpiece.
Thank You, Mr. Mark! She is getting there, We are making good progress now. Appreciate you watching and commenting!
@@FishBumpTV exciting times for sure the closer you get
Thanks for making all of these very informative videos. What kind of screws do you use when doubling coosa?
Glad you are enjoying the vids! You can use a variety of stainless steel screws with Coosa. I have been mostly using grip rite SS deck screws from Lowes. Hard to beat the bang for the buck. Just remember to resin coat or glass between layers, it acts as a glue, Making the bond much stronger. Thanks again for watching!
great tool show! Where can i get coosa or therma-lite in Nashville TN?
Thanks! There should be an Advanced plastics or a Composites one in your area. I buy most of mine from Advanced plastics in Elberta Alabama. Appreciate you watching, and good luck with your project!
nice video sir, am from the Philippines, can we make that coosa board as ribs and stringer of a boat? (laminated?) do you suggest laminated PVC pipe? thanks sir, good day.
Thanks! Yes, you can use Coosa for ribs and stringers. That is what we used on the boat we are currently building. I have successfully used PVC laminated with glass on smaller boats, but the Coosa is better in my opinion. Good luck with your project!
Have you ever used PVC panel for transom? Guys are using pvc on some boats here in P.R and is solid no rott
Sorry, I have not used the PVC panels for a transom core. I have been very happy with how strong the Coosa is and how well it works. It is designed for transom replacement material. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Can you kerf the coosa board to somewhat have a small roll
I imagine you could as long it was a mild bend. I might have to do a video on that! Thanks for watching!
Hey there captain joe, Can you tell us what recording gear your using? I heard a blue jay in the background and it was perfectly placed in the center rear of my headphones.
We are using a gopro 11 Believe it or not! I am surprised by what it will pick up on the audio side. Thanks for watching and commenting!
How well will coosa hold up for mounting a 80 pound class fighting chair? Obviously there would have to have a backup piece but will the coosa hold up being compressed when bolts are tightened?
The Coosa Bluewater 26 is their highest density core. It is designed for reinforcement of boat transoms and other high load and stress applications with fiberglass on both sides.I would imagine it could work for you, but some testing on your end and a phone call to Coosa or one of their distributors might be a good idea. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
I am in the process of installing coosa floor in my boat and need to use two pieces of coosa to get the right thickness for my stringers. In your professional opinion how should I glue the two pieces together? Everything I am using is polyester no epoxy. Should I just use polyester resin to glue with or something like, 4200,5200. Thanks in advance and you ROCK!!!!
We usually fiberglass and screw the Coosa together. One layer of 1 Oz csm wet out with resin, then stainless screws to hold it together is what we used on our custom 29. I also have a demo video showing a sample stringer and transom assembly using epoxy here on the channel that you might find helpful. Best of luck with your project!
I am replacing the transom on a Gheenoe now. It is factory made with polyester resin (from what I can see) Im using epoxy resin to glue it to the existing fiberglass (old core removed) planning on priming the coosa, mixing thickened epoxy, and clamping primed coosa directly to the existing fiberglass with the thickened epoxy squeeze out... sound like a solid plan or am I screwing up somewhere?
On this boat, we primed the Coosa, then clamped it into 3 layers of wet chopped strand mat. A Gheenoe transom is Much smaller, with a lot less stress on it, so your way could work, but I have not done one that way before. Wish I had a yes or no answer. Thanks for watching!
Can I use this Coosa board for an engine hatch? Is it sensitive to heat? Thanks
Did a tree fall on the edge of your roof causing that truss to break? Lots of under cover work space!
No, shop is just very old. I have spent every extra dollar and minute on our new 29 ft charter boat over the last few years. We are trying to catch up on delayed maintenance on the shop. Hope the TH-cam channel starts helping us with some additional income to help with that! Thanks so much for watching!
Coosa vs Thermo-lite all pros & cons please?
I will try to do a Core v Core video soon. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for watching!
Can coosaboard be bonded to a kayaks.
Not sure, it might depend on the material the kayak is made of. I would definitely think that a epoxy resin would have the best chance of bonding, but I can't say for sure.I hope this helps and thanks for watching!
This is a good product. However the negative is, it dulls your cutting tools fast.
Yes, Coosa will dull blades faster than wood does, but I still get quite a bit of life out of them. I think it is a pretty small price to pay for working with Coosa overall. Thanks for watching!
Would this hold the weight of a golf cart on a ramp door
It hard to say, I have never used it in that kind of application. sorry, wish I could answer that for you.
Coosa is available in several thicknesses and densities. The strength of your ramp will depend somewhat on your core material, but mostly on the skins laminated on it.
Coosa bolted to a welded steel frame would be plenty good
Good stuff, but that crap is expensive!
Yes it is good, and yes it is expensive. I have noticed Boat and marine related products tend to give people sticker shock. I have worked with lots of other marine composites and Coosa has some unique qualities that I really like. Not saying it is the only option out there, just one of the best for this particular application in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
