Hi! Late to seeing this. Mads (Sail Life) had to do much the same with re-coring his 38’ Warrior sailboat, Athena. He’s been a great source of information for me. I purchased and installed a windlass on my 36’ Luhrs a few years ago. Look at Good Automatic Windlass as an option. You’re doing great work. Yes, you’re going to have discouraging times, but don’t let it get you down. Bob, of “Renovation Sportfish”, is also a great resource. He and I have traded a few emails over time. And, of course, there is Andy of “Boatworks Today”!
I’ve said it before but hats off to you…. I bought a project boat and I see my friends out on their boats each year and they’re like get her in the water…. But it’s a fine balance between work, family commitments, and more importantly money as this is about future memories with family and friends but a safe boat as well…. Keep the great work up 👍🏻👍🏻 from England 🏴
Nice ya back into it shes a fine looking Ship. Me I am doing up a 24 footer twin 70 hp Evinrudes vintage 1973, s and are mint condition try them before repower also. Twin stainless props. Busy doing wiring at the mo most of it will be binned as some of the wiring a bit suspect. Luckily it came with windless. Also trailer near new just wiring up now have stuck lights on top of ot rigger poles no drama,s with dunking in water. Probably gonna put door on behind helm position for those winterish trips😮. Anyhoo looking forward to ya restoration journy😊. 20:41
$1000 is a fair price. I say that because I think the trailer alone should be fixed up and sold for more than that. I love the lines of the boat. Best of luck to you!
I'm making a flats boat from scratch. Restoration is a lot of work but it's looking good. The Pacific NW is a perfect area for a boat like that. It's going to be a lot of fun for you and your family when you're done. Just FYI...I think the Simrad GO9 offers an interface with Suzuki outboards so you can have fewer gauges and save a bit of money, but check before you buy. I think I paid 999.00 for the unit and transducer. It's not a Garmin but it costs less. Subbed.
Been following from the start, glad you stuck with it. I am also a Olympic boat owner, you got a great brand for this project, yes it's expensive and time consuming but you'll get years of memories with family and friends, it is the perfect Puget Sound boat. Can't wait to see her complete ! Much luck ! 🎣
@@LindellAdventures yeah, my Olympic is a 1999 18ft. Hardtop w/ 115hp Johnson, top speed on flat water is 42mph. Built in Monroe, WA. Years of fun and fishing. Sorry, I'm not on Instagram, I'm old. 🤣
@@LindellAdventures Mine took a few years and it was smaller by a long way but it is so worth it and a really odd set of emotions all at once...all of a sudden there it is floating and running. I would send you a link but don't want to take anything away from what you are doing here. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, the price of motors, holy cow, we were contemplating switching to an outboard but found a lower unit, finally. I appreciate the effort you make taking us along with the rebuild, for me, it’s a kindred spirit with the boat work. I’ve been there from the start and couldn’t believe what I saw, your path is the right one for you, at the end, you’ll have a brand new boat!
I’ve built boats for years , and I’d like to give you a couple tips. Use 2x10 pressure treated , and set them on edge bevel the bottoms to fit the dead rise then glass in. Run a 4” pvc pipe from the transom on the side you will put engine controls to run cables and any wires fore and aft. Pour two part foam between stringers and sides of hull. Run bulkheads on both ends of gas tank and pour foam around it to keep in place. Make sure to make limber holes in bottom of bulkheads for water to flow aft to a bilge pump . Have fun !
hey your boat looking beautiful !!!!!!!!! your hard work is showing in the beauty that is showing ...i cant wait to see more, anyone who puts a bad comment , its just they are jellouse of your boat !!!! keep it up great ,great work
No bad comments so far except a couple that haven’t watched videos before haha but I am doing it my way I think is best! Thank you for the support and for watching!
I think you will be happy with that axil 300B. Duoprop and cheaper pump gas. I am going to be using two of them myself. My 9.9 EFI has tons of hours and I did the 20hp swap several years ago. Works fantastic and sips fuel.
Great explanation for future potential build plans. Some are fixed like engine with controls and tanks sizing and location. Similar for cabin use, layout and cockpit areas with controls. Rebuild is time consuming and expensive. Lots to learn along the way. Keep moving forward with your plans. If you have some time, check out "Angry Mack" on TH-cam. He is doing something similar. Gutted the interior. Removed the stringers. Sanded the interior. Just completed the transom fiberglassing. He used 3 pcs of fiberglassed marine ply vs coosa board.
I have seen a couple of his videos! The controls for the 300 is fly by wire but the trolling motor is fixed cable 😢 one day they will get fly by wire for trolling motors!
Excited for the work to come! For what it’s worth, with the age of that trailer, I’d look for a *newer* aluminum bunk trailer to restore. Lighter for towing, nicer, and bunk is far better to worn with than rollers in my opinion.
Rollers are needed for me due to having to push the boat on and off. Aluminum is nicer but a lot more money and probably will get a new trailer eventually, but will be fixing the trailer up for now 👍
This is great man. I know it’s a lot of work and costing more than you thought at each step but in the end you are going to have a great boat that all in all would have cost a lot more had you bought it refinished. Keep it up and thanks for sharing!!
Gelcoat is used when the boats in a mold mate, it won't cure when exposed to air and even if it did would be really difficult to sand and create an acceptable finish. Maybe you mean Flowcoat? Even that would be difficult and not the best option. I would sand the gelcoat and paint with a 2 Pac polyurethane paint similar to Interlux Perfection. I have been through the same a result was great.
The boat is gelcoat already, not paint, so it's doesn't need to be sanded except to get down to good layers. I have seen multiple instances and professional companies and people gelcoat boats that have existing gelcoat hulls. I will be using a wax to cap the gelcoat for the hardening stage.
@@LindellAdventures You are correct about adding the wax to the gel coat. It will harden just fine but that being said I would paint the boat with quality marine paint. You get to pick the color and it's quite durable. Below deck we use a two part epoxy to seal everything. Jotun is our go to.
Since you will be installing an offshore bracket anyway, why not go for 2 x 200hp Suzuki (or even smaller) instead of 1x 300hp. It´s much safer to have redundancy when you are far offshore, in case of an engine failure, and the extra but smaller engine setup, will not cost you much extra. I think the boat would also sail better with a dual engine setup..
I need room for a trolling motor and would not have enough room for all of them. I won’t be going offshore that much and if I do, it will be in a group.
Hey man, I have been following this project since day one, and looking forward to the build!! I would suggest you to make Patreon, or other take a look on funding websites. I can only speak about myself, but I would be glad to give a dime or two to help you out, since you are willing to put these videos for free!
Been a boat builder and restorer for about 40 years. I highly recommend that you don't replace any wood with wood. Cossa will not rot ever and only has the ability to absorb about 1or 2% moisture. It will be costly but far superior.
Yup, no wood going in ever. Only wood on the boat will be the cabin which is the only thing I will not be replacing (only thing not rotten). Coosa everything and honeycomb for cabinets and some other items.
Great video, great project. Thanks for sharing. Just a suggestion - instead of re-gelcoating the bottom, you may want to consider using an epoxy barrier coat instead. Gelcoat is not waterproof. Good luck!
It most likely won’t be in the water for more than a few days at a time and that would be a short enough time 👍 I would like to do epoxy, but I want to stick with gelcoat!
I may have enough for a video. Just don’t want to put a video out of prepping the transom by itself, I am almost ready to glass. Just a few little things to touch up.
You are going whole hog balls to the wall on this one ! Nothing wrong with the Suzuki outboards a bit spendy but what the hay ! Lol. Live by the technology die by it also , just read all the manuals on repairs and you’ll be fine ! Is the dinette going to be a bed also?
You can get the motors with no controls for 30k but I get everything I need and wanted 👍 the table lays down and makes a bed and the side cushion folds up above the lower bed to make a bunk bed. Pretty awesome!
@@LindellAdventures some serious fun ! I wonder if you could make it up to Alaska with it ? I’m still in amazement about the cost of the outboard ! Dang $30k wow !
It is a good idea for sure! I will be having an outdoor shower on the deck for those long summer days. It would be nice to shower in the boat, but each place I go, there is a place to take showers; unless offshore haha.
@@LindellAdventures After this years Tuna from Westport you may want 150 to 200 Gal. on the fuel! You are doing great work on a great PNW hull! Are you going self bailing deck? sorry if I missed something. Marysville checking in!
Don't set your heart on gel coating the hull. Do your research on gel coat vs paint. I would not reinstall a marine head. Too much plumbing. Check a out cassette or composting head. A 3" transom is quite substantial, but I would still want some knee braces connecting to the stringers. You need to move as much weight as possible as far forward to balance the bracket and engine hanging out the back. With no stringers or core, make sure that the trailer roller have not left dents in the hull. Worst case you may have to build a cradle with long bunks and let the hull settle back to it's natural shape.
I am looking at durability and with docks and going to beach on rocks, gelcoat is what decided on in the end. Yeah, the head is converted for compost or a storage tray with liners. No pumping most likely but don’t know where I could dump compost waste. Do you know where by chance? I moved the tank forward 5 inches and have the fresh water 25 gallon up front and will be adding the fridge and storage up front. The offshore bracket will have some buoyancy to help. Everything matters as far as weight! Thanks for the tips!
@@LindellAdventures the trick with composting head is first, keep the urine separate. It can easily be dumped into a toilet. Don't let the solid compost waste fill up too much. Double plastic bag it and dispose with other solid trash. Biggest issue is having enough compost material and storing it dry.
A marine toilet is about as simple as it gets. Salt water in and everything else goes overboard. Even if you require a holding tank it's still a simple system. Add a maceration pump and pump your own tank over when you are 3 miles offshore. I personally would not be wanting to handle waste. By the way I have been building and restoring boats professionally for about 40 years now.
It’s been on my mind but the trailers I am looking at are 15-20k… can get cheaper but if I were to spend that much, I want to get what I want. I probably could eventually when I save some more money.
@@LindellAdventures shop around look in other locations. That sounds stupid high. Here in Florida you can get a new 25-28’ tandem 6k torsion axles with brakes for 7k.
That’s what I said haha I am looking at a King Salt Water edition galvanized trailer. That’s what I would get if I bought new. I can put around 1,000-1200 and make it new. Dipping in galvanizing and brake kit with new everything and LED lights.
@@LindellAdventures that’s not bad if it’s that cheap. I know galvanized will always be less valuable but that doesn’t look bad for it’s age. Just get some torsion axles to avoid leaf springs. roller trailers must be popular up in your areas
Get a bucket of Hull and Deck for making fillets when glassing anything to the hull . Makes it easy and strong. Good luck.
Thanks for the tips 👍
Hi! Late to seeing this.
Mads (Sail Life) had to do much the same with re-coring his 38’ Warrior sailboat, Athena. He’s been a great source of information for me.
I purchased and installed a windlass on my 36’ Luhrs a few years ago. Look at Good Automatic Windlass as an option.
You’re doing great work. Yes, you’re going to have discouraging times, but don’t let it get you down.
Bob, of “Renovation Sportfish”, is also a great resource. He and I have traded a few emails over time.
And, of course, there is Andy of “Boatworks Today”!
Andy is a great tool and have helped me tremendously! Windlass is a great thing to have!

Good choice on staying analog for the mechanicals and digital for navi, etc.!
Haha thank you! I like the look too!
@@LindellAdventures and if they break, you can usually fix it on board. With digital, you'll be replacing a $50 sensor every other year.

Get yourself a bucket of hull and deck to make fillets when glassing anything to the hull. Makes it easy and strong.
Might look into a bench seat with flip back for the passenger side in the cabin. Saves space as you only need the one footprint bottom bench.
That’s the plan 👍 always trying to do better in my head haha
$1000 is a fair price. I say that because I think the trailer alone should be fixed up and sold for more than that. I love the lines of the boat. Best of luck to you!

You could, but only being a 26’ I don’t see a real need but would be nice in rough weather and strong tides! That’s for sure!
awesome rebuild series!
Thank you!
Remember to think of the weight of everything you put into the boat! It needs to sitt straight and even when I’m the water 😁
That's one of the reason to change the head location! Still have lots to think of and put the ideas to paper! Thanks for the idea!
Hey there waiting on ur videos what's up, hope all is well
It’s coming here soon. Had some things come up that needed dealt with. Will be working on it Saturday. Stay tuned.
