    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    More progress! I think I can finally say the inside bottom of the hull is ready to go. There are 4 layers of 1708 down the middle and 3 everywhere else, I also added PB in the keel to give it more strength. The PB also enabled me straddle the keel with that last layer of 1708. It should be safe...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Thanks Tod and Sam, sometimes I surprise myself with things turning out well instead of needing to turn chicken $*&% into chicken salad from something I totally screwed up, lol. The guy I buy resin from is a boat repairman, restorer and he gave me the scrap. Maybe there is a restorer near you...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Thanks for the feedback guys and yes I agree I am not going to use the 1/4 ply on the hull floor. I have already added 2 layers of 1708 and will add at least one more layer, maybe 2, I should have plenty of 1708. I went ahead and installed the Coosa block for the bow eye and put that back on in...

    Looking great! Keep the pics coming, good inspiration for those of us who need a little motivation to see projects that are further along than our own. Buck.

    '90 Maxum 2100SR - restoration & conversion

    Hey PC, what I have been using more than rollers are chip brushes but cut the bristles down to an inch or so and that helps force the resin down into the fabric. For 1708 I like coating the CSM side and then flipping it in place and then doing the mat side. You can use a trash bag or plastic if...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Hey Chuck, I have some 1/4" rubber mat I am cutting up to use as spacers. I put all the wood in as it was originally built, the deck is ready to go down but I want to make sure the hull is as strong as possible. I think I am going to put a stringer down the middle and notch the bulkheads to tie...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Hey Sam, as always thanks for the insight, that does make sense. Yes, there was no foam and no fore to aft stringers, just lateral bulkheads, I will post a deconstruction pic later but what is even more scary is that the bulkheads were dimensional lumber so they didn't contact the hull once the...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Thanks BC for the reminder, I did cover all those holes with masking tape on the outside and mixed up some PB and put that in the holes before I laid a layer of 1708. On Friday I decided to do more grinding, thought I was just going to touch some things up but went at it for 2 hours and glad I...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    I am still getting some small stuff done while I wait for the chopped glass to get here, the Cabosil arrived yesterday. There are a lot of divots and craters in the multi glass layers because of voids from the original construction. It will be easier to lay down some 1708 without having to worry...

    1978 Ebbtide trihull restoration

    Looks like you are making great progress, hope the weather clears up and you can get back to the nasty stuff. Tyvek suits can get miserable, just take a break when you need to. I am starting to finally put new glass in, seemed like it would never happen. Keep plugging away and it will get there...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Hello all, hope everyone is doing well and staying out of trouble. I can't believe I haven't posted an update in so long. Life got crazy busy, which is good. I finally got started doing some glass work! Since the boat is small I have just 2 pieces of ply for the deck and the transom. There are...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    I did get the transom lower filler pieces glued on and the top edge trimmed to a better angle and the whole thing edge routed. I also cut the old splashwell out while the cap was off the boat. I am glad that I don't have to do any more trimming to the cap, fits right over the new transom and...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Last week when I was cutting away with the multitool to lessen the grinding still to come I heard my name being called when I turned the tool off, which I am surprised I heard it since I wear noise cancelling headphones. It was one of my neighbors. I thought it was going to be "hey can you give...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Hello everyone, I have been lurking for a while and just wanted to get started on my restoration thread. Although I only bought this boat a year ago, my foray into classic boats started 5 years ago with the purchase of a '58 Cruisers Inc 15' Seafarer. Unfortunately that boat ended up with more...
