    1984 Bomber Scout Rebuild

    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...

    Gel coat respray, How do I do the stripe?

    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.

    1984 Bomber Scout Rebuild

    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...

    1984 Bomber Scout Rebuild

    Re: 1984 Bomber Scout Rebuild I'm trying to decode this layup I found on Fiberglassics.com and hoping someone can help. With the new core cut and sealed (if necessary), the next step is to apply a binder to the inside surface of the remaining transom skin. Many people will use a resin...

    Re: Restoring 1987 Sea Sprite 4.3 175 19.5' Use a 1/8" drill bit and drill 3 holes in the transom. 1 port , 1 starboard and 1 towards the center and low as possible, should be easy with the motor out. Don't drill all the way through the boat, 3/4" to 1" should be enough. Examine the shavings...
