Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

You know what would look really good on your boat Arch is a autograph from a good friend of mine. Shane Moore who is a author, and his autograph is worth I think $.78 now, but with the economy it could have fallen back down to $.36. LOL anyhow Arch the boat is looking really nice, and it will be pretty sweet when you are 100% finished with her. Keep up the good work Arch, and I might need you to come to Illinois to help me with my boat through the restoration of it.

hey arch,
i agree if it fails you will be back putting in a new deck.
Looks impressive.
Have fun at the lake.

Arch, I just realized that you just wanted another reason to play with the glass again.

I have to 100% agree with this...Arch can't put the bottle of glass down. He's gotten it so far into his blood that he will never be able to put it down for very long.

That looks good Arch. Betcha that will hold up nicely. Just don't invite me to go skiing with you. My fat azz will yank your whole deck out.

Thanks guys, but I promise you I can put down the resin....hate itching! But I hate not having a tight hull worse! I hate to tell you Netmatrix, but I'm going to be tied up this summer.....maybe I could head that way next fall! I will of course need Saturdays off when OU is playing!

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

Next fall would always work for me lol. Anyhow Arch your doing a great job on that boat of yours. You really could give me some good advice with restoring my boat when I get to the point of asking questions. There is also a few other members on here as well, but Arch when you want to sell that boat make sure you get a hold of me first. I'll be more than happy to take it off your hands.

Hey Arch, you said glass dont stick to epoxy? Polyester resin dont stick to epoxy, true. But you can use epoxy resin with the glass mat and it will stick to anything.

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

N wolf I was referring to the poly sticking to epoxy issue, I've used glass in epoxy several times. I probably would have done that here, I just didn't have any epoxy I could wet out with on hand.

BBO, where do you get these ideas? Looks a little rough on your lake for Miss morgan to be out anyway!

One more push tonight, then hopefully its off to the lake Friday!

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore

One other issue I have is find some back ground on the boat. Here is the tag that was on it (had to remove during transom repair)

"200 lbs for person and gear"?

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

I too get a little goofy on midnight BBOkie...I understand. Working swing shifts leaves me not knowing weather to fish, fight, f**k, or cut bait...waking up all times of the day/night thinking im late for work.

looking good arch...Ill hope for the best this weekend

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

Darren, 5 people at 150lbs each plus 50lbs of gear each = 1000lbs max weight.

Nah he was thinking the same thing I was, me and a couple of young chicks . Still working on getting things ready....I was on it till mid-night, got tired and figured I would start making mistakes....so I'm taking of this morning to finish up things. I doubt I'm going to have the ski pole up, but I think I will have everything else done.
