Boats from work.

[MikeSchinlaub]

Today's progress, made a mold, cut out the damage, ground and glassed the area.

Today's mistake, I cut out the spot before I made the mold. Had to screw it back in and eyeball level to make the mold after. It worked out though.

As usual, several forgotten picture opportunities.

Ground everything in prep for the floor, made and glassed in a center stringer for extra support. Apparently, the owner and his brother are both pretty big dudes. None of the original wood is sealed, top or bottom except where the glassed to the walls. How is this thing still together?

Boat? What boat? I've never seen one, I don't even know what a boat is...

I still wish I had half your talent

No, I need it. You can have all my anxiety though. 100% free!

The bottom was done cheap, just spray it and walk away. The color looked decent on a spot that I sanded and buffed. Just waitint on the guy to get here with the trailer now.

There it goes.

They got lucky on that one and brought in just in time.

He's only had it for two weeks before he brought it in. Hasn't even took it out yet except to float a bit off the bunks and check out the damage. He made new bunks too, and we had to adjust them when he came in, about 3 hours after he was supposed to. I worked through lunch helping him, no big deal. I was more hot than hungry, but the boss made me a burger while I was doing that so I was happy.

You sure seem to fix ignorance when it comes it comes to operators.

How so? It doesn't take ignorance to not see something under the water and hit it.

Sometimes, sure, like ramming into the lift too hard or just doing stupid stuff, but I would say most of it is just part of owning a boat.

No updates for a while, vacation time.

A staycation or going somewhere fun?

Always staycation. I'm a **** in, my idea of fun is staying home and doing what I want. Of course, right now I'm waiting at my neighbor's for a plumber buddy to show up so we can crawl under the house and fix some drain pipe. I'll be working on the truck this week too.
