1966 MFG Rebuild

[demarko210]

Went over this morning to add some csm over those engine mounting holes and all the other holes from that metal plate. I kinda wanted the ozzy out the back to make some PB rivets but with so many holes I would be chasing and dripping PB all over my feet. I forgot to get another board for the back of the transom so I had to run home.

The dam mosquitos are ficking terrible over there. Every time I had my hands full doing something they buzz all around my face and I am the type of person that constantly feel like there is a bug on me start to wipe the areas. I wear long sleeves and sweat pants over to work but dam. I then found the best solution to get them bastards off of me. Such a simple thing keeps their asses moving.


Heading back over to for the big squeeze.

Got the transom glued in not without having a few issues that I had to improvise on. First as I am working alone I mixed up 2 16 oz of resin with about 6 oz fumed silica and 4 oz of .25 inch fibers at 1/2 2.5 cc mekp for slower working time. For maximum ozzy 3 16 oz would have gave me enough ozzy to cap over inside of the board with the ozzy. Now I will need to mix up some thicken go back and lock it in around the corners and bottom. My ozzy squeezed out the sides but did not run. So it was just enough PB mix but could have used a little more to lock around the sides and bottom. Oh well still worked out. The image show about how much ozzy I got all around. Most of the ozzy came out with chopped fibers so I know the bond was good.


I was tightening the clamps I made with my impact wrench trying to work fast since alone. Ended up clamping to tight and the clamp spilt at the top. I was using 3 clamps and made 4 but did not bring the other. The clamp that snapped was the weakest one I had and I place it on the port side. So I had to break out the screws or either run home and get the other clamp.
Ended up using some boards on the back and inside to get the squeeze on the port side. Driving screws in on both sides of the boards.

Little off topic, but you out up a link for EVA on Temu......Isn't that site full of cheap items......and therefore, poor quality items? If I am wrong, and they are carrying good quality boat accessories, then I need to start looking into that!

Nice work D, looks nice and tight. Way to handle the scramble while installing yourself.

I thought about planting a grape vine lol

Went over today and added resin on both sides of the transom. Also filled some gaps. Ran out of resin. Plan was to tab the transom in with 1708 around the putty. Site wont let me upload

Thought I would share this link. This is a cool boat

 

[kcassells]

That was a cool boatover. Ya thinking of doing some of that to your boat D?

 

[cyclops222]

Should be a good workboat.

Nah man putting back the simplest way I know how. I was surprised it had a 2" transom and a 90 on it. Thinking about adding another half inch on mine encase I decide on a 90

Debby coming to knock my cover down tonight.

They just issued a tornado warning for Lisbon area Maryland where I keep my boat. I feel like Al Bundy if my shed fly up the road. I am next to a big old box post office truck on the left of my space that is higher than my shed. Hope that give me cover from the south winds. If it change directions hopefully still good.

 

[kcassells]

Fingers crossed, be careful and good luck! Same in my area too so we'll see.

I think we are out of the woods. Glad everyone up here in the northeast is safe. Lotsa water but no tornadoes

We have a creek that flows thru a walking trail. Man that creek looks like white water rapids. Flushing away all my minnows.

Still cant post any pictures.

Going over to the boat this morning to see what is what after the storm. I am going to try and make some templates for stringers. I was thinking... would this deck be high enough to make it a self bailing. My bulkhead template is at center 8" and tapers 4" on each side spanning the hull bottom (tri-hull). Might not be enough height unless I raise the hull sides and deck.
