Re: 1984 Bomber Scout Rebuild
Thanks GT, I'm really pleased with how it is looking so far. The second pic really shows the shine I was able to get out of it. I was concerned that I hadn't buffed/polished enough, but seeing that reflection off the trailer makes it good enough for me.
On to the...
Re: 1984 Bomber Scout Rebuild
THE HULL IS FLIPPED!! I must say it feels good and makes it look like I almost have a boat again.
Got my inner wheel wells cut, painted, carpeted and mounted as well.
Also decided to get some of that bed liner in a can that rusto makes and spray it on the steps...
Re: 1984 Bomber Scout Rebuild
A little mid weekend update. Got the new tongue for the trailer welded in and a coat of primer on everything. Oh yeah and a little paint as well;)

Re: Gel coat respray, How do I do the stripe?
Nope, didnt sand anything. I just washed the PVA off the white, rewiped with acetone and shot the stripe. I was worried about jacking this up, but it's good to know it'll be alright.
Re: 1984 Bomber Scout Rebuild
So here we go, another weekend gone and more progress to update. I remembered to grab the camera this week to.
This weekend was gel coat weekend. And overall I think it went great. I had intended on doing the white and blue stripe in all one shoot but it didn't...
I decided to make a new thread for this because after much searching I cannot find the answer I'm looking for
I'm preparing to do a full respray on my hull this upcoming weekend. I would like to have a blue stripe down the side the same as in the picture, except not in glitter.
Do I do the blue...
Re: 1984 Bomber Scout Rebuild
Alright, where to begin. Well after much sanding, cussing and beer I think I finally have the hull faired to my liking. It's not perfect but It's good enough that I can live with it and I don't think the fish will mind.
Put a call into US Composites today as...
Re: 1984 Bomber Scout Rebuild
Well I have been busy today. Yesterday after work I got the holes drilled for the foam. Today it was 70 by noon so I got right on the foaming. I have to say it went alot smoother than I thought. I was expecting to be running around like a maniac trying to work by...
Re: 1984 Bomber Scout Rebuild
Alright well I guess I'll start this update with a quick summary of the bad news. Technology and me don't get along to well, but needless to say I have had this brand new Nikon camera that my wife bought me just sitting in the box since I got back. So I decided...
Re: 1995 Crownline 202 BR Deck Restoration
As far as doing your stringers.I noticed WOG hasn't checked in on this one yet and not to steal his thunder, but .
