    1983 Procraft 1750V Boat Restoration

    Re: 1983 Procraft 1750V Boat Restoration Eggs, You could do what I did with my cap and hoist it straight up from where the boat is sitting. The benefit of this is it doesn't require any additional floor space. JFas

    1986 Ebbtide Dynatrak 150 Restoration

    Re: 1986 Ebbtide Dynatrak 150 Restoration Time for another update! I made pretty good progress this weekend and need a bit of feedback. The transom is installed, filleted with PB, tabbed with 2 layers of overlapping 1708, and then one layer of 1708 over the whole transom. Do I need to add...

    1986 Ebbtide Dynatrak 150 Restoration

    Re: 1986 Ebbtide Dynatrak 150 Restoration Afternoon, Well, I'm glad to say that my glassing skills are improving. Switching to measuring using the metric system and increasing the amount of catalyst to 2% definitely helped. I'm still finding cure times to be in the 1 hour range or a bit...

    1986 Ebbtide Dynatrak 150 Restoration

    Re: 1986 Ebbtide Dynatrak 150 Restoration Time for another update! Here's a shot of 1 layer of CSM and one layer of 1708 after the resin finally cured (4 days). The CSM laid down really nice, but the 1708 has a few air pockets in it. This is a patch to a hole in the hull near the transom...

    1986 Ebbtide Dynatrak 150 Restoration

    Re: 1986 Ebbtide Dynatrak 150 Restoration Thanks again guys for the great feedback. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and the glasswork that I ended up with is pretty sub par in my opinion, so I'm likely just going to grind it off and try again. In the meantime, some more progress pics. Here's...

    Re: 1986 Ebbtide Dynatrak 150 Restoration Thanks much for your feedback Woodonglass. I read through the thread linked and it was very informative. So, on with the update. I actually attempted laying my first glass yesterday. For the first time it wasn't too bad, but I'm thinking it's going...

    1986 Ebbtide Dynatrak 150 Restoration

    Re: 1986 Ebbtide Dynatrak 150 Restoration Morning, So, here's how she looked before all of the tear down and deconstruction. Then came the removal of the rub rail. This is how I removed the cap from the hull. I picked up some 3/16" angle iron and lag bolted across two trusses and used...

    1986 Ebbtide Dynatrak 150 Restoration

    Evening all, I have been lurking and debating weather or not to share my project with the world. Since being a user here, I have learned a ton and figured it would be innapropriate not to share. I hope everyone enjoys! So, about the boat. Back in August of 2013, I scoured Craigslist for a...
