Thank you David for the latest instalment of CuttingTheButt. Please continue waffling along, I love the talk part, just continue being you. Looking forward to the next part.
As a youtube vlogger myself, I appreciate your chit-chat ability. Keeping the flow going is a rare skill. Anyone coming late to your channel may wonder why it is called 'Cruising the Cut' and not' Cutting the Cruise' 😉
I don't care how much you might babble on, I will be here for every episode! Your narration is how I got hooked on your vlog in the first place. Carry on!!!
We thoroughly enjoy your approach to DIY. "It may work, it may not, we'll see as we go along" attitude is really refreshing. And nothing wrong with the chit-chat, that's who you are. Take care.
I have to admit! I would never have dared to start on a project like that, so you have my deepest admiration. You are just exeptional.!!! Love from Denmark Yes - as many others say - keep chatting. That's what it's all about 🙂
The absolute gall of you chit-chatting on your own channel, that people are FORCED to watch...Your communication is one of the strengths of your channel, and it's great to have you explain what's happening. I was shocked at how soggy that wood was, and how catastrophically rusted those bolts were! I can't envision the fiberglassing before summer, so it will be nice to have the winter to work on it and let it dry out completely. Keep up the good work!
I would fill every empty void with foam for safety flotation. Looks like you have a job ahead of you but you will know for sure how good your boat is then! Enjoying this series.
@@sfllaw Might be a wheeze to use low build closed cell foam so the voids aren't under too much pressure as you end up with splits in the fifty year old fibre glass.
Hi David. Every day is an education. I for one did not appreciate that a fibreglass boat had plywood hidden within its skin. Oh my, that’s a recipe for problems. I admire your optimism and look forward to the next instalment. Keep going. 👏👏👍😀
@@CruisingTheCut It's called Myeloma Dave and I've had it for 3 years. BUT I have been in full remission for 1 year. No more treatment. Wonderful, feel great and feel strong if there is anybody out there with it.
David, there are knockers everywhere, just ignore them, that upsets them more than anything else, keep up the good work, old boats / cars always throw in surprises. Regards from Australia
Here's another tip (from a 40+ year veteran fiberglass boat restore-er, though be it another weekend warrior!). Be sure to use "Marine" plywood. Don't make the mistake of thinking pressure treated is the right application. It's not. Use Marine Plywood (it has to do with the glue they use). THEN, apply a liberal coat of penetrating epoxy, all sides including the edges. This will absorb into the wood, cure, and effectively petrifying it. Making it all but impervious. West System makes a fantastic penetrating epoxy.
@@CruisingTheCut Make sure the holes for mounting the outboard etc. are larger so you can have a centimeter of fiber and resin around your bolts. Woven glasfiber works best in my opinion.
As a carpenter you are basically correct, But marine ply should not be confused with WPB ply which I think you are referring to. Marine and WPB are both hardwood ply's and they both use waterproof glue , however marine ply has more layers and is sometimes confused with WPB, and there is a huge difference in price. Indecently the ply David removed was not marine ply as the layers are to thick.
I have no idea what all these nuts and bolts are even for but i keep gasping at appropriate moments, good job conveying the emotion of the event to a complete layperson!
David, your chit chat and willingness to dive in and learn as you go is why I am here. Keep up the chit chat and two beeps on the rudder for a full left whistle.
Wow its a very lucky thing you decided to open up that transom and find all that rot. It may be tiresome work now but very satisfying and rewarding when you're done, to know you saved years of usage. And learning is always important. Chit chat is too. It re-enforces what info we are filing away in our brains.
Well done - David! This has gone from “how in the world does this odd design get put right” to “rotten wood is out (almost) - new going straight in!” One thing you have going for you is that this is not a high power/immense stress situation for the transom. No racing, no pulling water skiers, etc. Any reasonably competent rebuild job will be plenty strong enough for the intended use.
We like your "chit-chat", or musings, or thinking out loud. Thats why we listen in the first place and what do i know about boats? apart from how to drive/navigate them? We are just here for the journey. And whatever happens next. Love your reporting style.
When you replace the pull-eyes, make the initial hole diameters a little large, then fill the bores of the through holes with fiberglass to seal the core. When the fiberglass has cured, re-drill the through holes to the correct, smaller diameter through the fiberglass plugs, including a small countersink on the outside edges of the holes. The fiberglass will seal the holes, preventing moisture from getting into the core of the transom and preventing the destructive reaction between the wood and the metal studs. When you install the pull-eye studs into the new holes, coat the unthreaded shank portions of them with an adherent sealant, and bed the base of the pull-eye in sealant where it seats against the transom. (First, temporarily dry-install the pull-eye into the holes and tape around its base to make later cleaning away of the excess sealant a bit easier.) Initially, just snug up the nuts a little more than finger tight to lightly seat the pull-eye, and then let the sealant cure. After the sealant has cured, fully tighten the nuts. Letting the sealant cure before tightening the nuts prevents squeezing out all the uncured sealant from under the pull-eye. When you fully tighten the nuts, the cured sealant in the counterbores will be compressed and seal tightly against the shank of the studs. When installing the nuts on the back side of the transom, use large, stiff washers to distribute the load on the transom, or better yet, get a bar of metal about 3-4 mm thick, about 3 stud-diameters wide, and a good bit longer than the distance between the two bolts. Drill a hole near either end of the bar, spaced apart the same distance as the two studs, and install the bar over the two studs as a stiff washer-plate to resist pulling the studs through the transom under load.
When you say "fill the bores of the through holes with fiberglass to seal the core" do you actually mean fill the bores with Thickened Epoxy Resin rather than fibreglass itself?
David's chit-chat is the best part of the channel. I live for it! I wouldn't go anywhere else for good quality content, and chit-chat! If there was an Oscar for chit-chat then David would take it out each and every year!
Progress! Lots of rotten wood, no big surprise. Something I learned from plumbers who needed to get behind a wall in my house: it’s not really any more work to patch a big hole than a small hole, and a lot easier to work through.
Thoroughly enjoy your VLOG’s David, and I wish I had your patience and commitment. Looking forward to seeing how the transom rebuild goes, and the overall end result.
Yowza! That wood was one soggy mess. So happy you're making progress and can now see what needs to be done. Well done! Looking forward to the next video.
I have been enjoying watching your channel for the last 7 or 8 years, a little chit chat wont change that. Thanks for your videos David. Best to you from Denmark 😁

Don’t change David, we love your chatter 👍👍👍 and we enjoy your dry humour 💕💕.

We can hardly wait to see what you uncover. Judy
Good progress whittling away at your transom. The Coronado 15 sailboat is notorious for a rotten transom. The repair starts with cutting off the entire rear of the hull, breaking and cracking to the point one will think he's destroying his boat. Finally, the plywood is rebuilt, then the inner and outer layers of fiberglass. Some guys separate the top and bottom of the hull, and rebuilt everything required, a huge job!
Excellent,, you rabbit on all you like,, I’ve been watching your movies for the past few years and if it’s one thing you excel at it’s rabbiting on,, I agree with your opinion of the severity of the repair,, I’ve never done anything like that you are doing and I’m tickled to bits to be doing it with you,, it’s a project,, no denying that,, but keep on it,,
Thank you for another ‘edge of my seat’ episode in anticipation of the narrative ! You’re definitely not afraid of speaking your mind with regard to comments you get - makes me laugh ! So enjoyable 😊😁
Dave, you will never be as eccentric as I, but you are comfortably out of the ordinary. Keep being yourself. The world needs more interesting people who are absorbed in creativity.

A few points, 1 you rabbit as much as you like that’s what we’re here for 2 I’m going for a cheese sandwich (how did I know) 3 that wood was wetter than an otters pocket. Great video as always.

David, A comment from your American cousins, for a former TV reporter, you've got this DIY stuff under control. Must be the cup of tea.👍
Onwards and inwards then David, dragging it out will keep us entertained for a while longer. 🤣😁😁
I'm honestly not trying to drag it out (!!) but it just does take an extraordinary amount of time to get anything done. Maybe just me, of course!
I would fill every empty void with foam for safety flotation. Looks like you have a job ahead of you but you will know for sure how good your boat is then! Enjoying this series.
Foam is very bad!! It soaks up and holds water. It never dries out and will stink to hell.
If you do spray foam, make sure it is closed cell foam. Open cell foam soaks up water like a sponge.

Might be a wheeze to use low build closed cell foam so the voids aren't under too much pressure as you end up with splits in the fifty year old fibre glass.
