Jay,
I can say one thing for sure. That White really stands out against all of the red. LOL.
Looking very good. I'm learning alot watching you work.
Keep it up.

what how did the finish come out? The sprayed ones I have seen orange peeled really bad....lots of wet sanding and buffing....sounds like trying to polish stainless now that I think about it ! FYI you need to make shorter videos or I'm going to have to start getting up earlier on Monday lol!

It sure does Decker. Now the Red will be covered up soon.

I almost forgot. I picked up the prop and tank today. The prop looks awesome and is now ready to go, and the tank only leaked around the fuel sender. I got a new gasket, and we are all good.

Jay what pitch prop is that one? I also have a Mirage prop on my Crestliner you will like it. The boat is coming along great. I am at work right now so I can't see any video, did you make one of the gelcoating? Next spring I plan on gelcoating my deck then adding snap in carpet, so looking for some ideas.

It looks great Jay. I mean it really looks top notch. I couldn't use gelcoat on my epoxied parts, but I need to do some color touch up on the outside of the boat. Do you or can you to tip it off after rolling to smooth it out or does it lay out smooth after rolling? Do you thin it? If so what do you use as thinner? I've messed with the little gelcoat patch kits some, but that stuff mixed up more like paste than paint. School us gelcoat grasshoppers.

Oh, by the way thumbs up on the Corsa set up. Notching up the man card. I wish I could afford that setup. Will it idle below the water level or just at level? Are you going to cut the holes? Can't wait to see the install and hear it run.

Re: Here I go again!! 1995 Sea Ray 220 Signature Deck and Stringer Restoration

Thanks for the encouragement guys.


Very important question. I plan on making a pedestal of two pieces of 3/4' ply bonded together with t nuts in the bottom for the captains chairs. I do not want to penetrate the deck at all. I was going to bond it to the hull and them glass over it with a layer of 1708 and CSM. Do you think that will keep it from ripping loose?

Here is what I did Jay. The base is extremely solid, and nothing penetrates the deck.
T-Nuts on the bottom of the wood base

Wood base secured to the deck with a Poly/Peanut butter mix. I put Vaseline on the screw threads, and screwed them into the T-nuts so that none of the poly mix set up in the T-nut threads. After it was secure to the deck I went ahead and put a few layers of cloth over the mount, and extended it onto the deck 4 inches or so. Sanded it down and it looked great.

[/QUOTE]

Here is how it came out after putting GelCoat over it all. Turned out great. I made the some mounts for my trim motor and battery as well, again nothing penetrating the deck back there.

It is a 19 pitch.

I rolled the gel coat on like paint in two coats. One coat in non waxed, and then one coat waxed. Looks smoooth! No thinning at all.

It can idle either way. It has side pipes and a switchable routing system that allows you to be quiet, or wake the dead.

Well my main computer crashed tonight. It is the one that I edit videos on, and the only one powerful enough to process the files. All the files are safe, and I am working on it as we speak. If I cannot fix it, I will have to build a new one.
