    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    PAINT! Well, just first coat of primer but so glad to get to this point. It was brutal hot, went through 3 shirts and 2 towels, wore long sleeve shirts and the towel around my neck to keep the sweat from falling on the boat. The 2nd coat will go on tomorrow and then color later this week. The...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Thanks Reserector, that is an awesome compliment. There will be imperfections but I think I can live with what I end up with. Currently still putting compound on but each batch gets smaller and smaller, woohoo. The biggest problem right now is the heat. Near record heat for central Fl, I can't...

    So sorry Tod. Hope it ends up being on the easy end. I hate when I have those moments of wanting to be able to kick my own... Good luck!

    Winner/Johnson basket case

    The pic of the cap got my attention because it looks like what I am working on with the bottom of my boat project. You wrote shoddy paint job and that might be the case of someone doing a shoddy paint job over the original gelcoat, or not, hard to tell. When I zoomed in to that pic it looked...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    That sounds like a cool event in October, if the boat has been splashed I will definitely be there, thanks for the heads up! I will look at the AOMCI website and get more info (and renew my membership) and try to come out next weekend, hope to see you in Mount Dora!

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Sam, I don't want to jinx it but I don't see any reason why not, I am shooting for the end of August. Once I get it flipped there is just a little fairing (famous last words) on the cap and then paint the cap. I have 2 motors to choose from, back to back seats are new and ready to go. Bimini top...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Thank you Reserector! That means a lot, your build, like several on here have kept me motivated. There will be a splash, this year I hope and think!

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    I can't believe I have been fairing for 2 months. I did miss a week twice with stuff going on but I am probably at least 30 hours into this process. I do go back and look at pictures to see where I started and that helps with the frustrations of every step taking so long. The first pic is from...

    PB'ing new transom wood to boat

    Sorry that I am late to the poll, I used chopped strand in mine. The chopped strand really gives the resin the structural strength and ties it all together, resin alone can crack. I feel like I am still a newb but only time I have seen chopped strand not added is when someone makes a fairing...

    That is a cool piece of history you have saved. Thanks for sharing the journey and look forward to the adding of the small things, compared to where this started.

    1986 Bayliner Capri 1600 Question

    It is good you are looking through some builds and finding out what you are getting into. Yes, your boat is in rough shape and it will take a lot of time and money, but if you decide to do it yourself you will have a boat that will be built so much better than factory and if done right and cared...

    New member - deck install panga

    I stopped counting at 20 gallons, don't think it was much more than that but was to the point I didn't care how much, just wanted to be finished with the resin!

    Please post some pictures of the progress. That really helps others, I don't know what I would have done without this great source of knowledge and help to get me through it, still not done yet but getting there. If all the people who have given me advice could now just show up to my door and...

    Restoration project - 1965 AlumaCraft Maracaibo

    That is a nice find for sure! Love the lines of the mid 60's, but I am biased, mine is a '65 fiberglass runabout. Ironically mine came with a '77 Mercury 402 40hp but hoping to go with a '71 Evinrude 50hp that I also have. Keep the pics coming of progress!

    If you look on the Fiberglassics website you might find what you are looking for. I found some great pics and the same info you are looking for, most of the info has been downloaded by individuals, not a industry run website so some info is vague but I found info for my obscure '65 runabout...
