Re: hull extension in progress with picks
Re: hull extension in progress with picks
the weekend is still kind of a blur, as far as the boat goes.....
robj came to help. (i think he was a bit taken a back by the scope of the total restoration....or the amount of work in it
)
the cap is a two person job .......so......the idea was to get the cap extended.
the plan was to cut the cap and place braces down the sides, and bottom.
after cutting the cap and grinding the surfaces in prep for the new glass,
we ran into a snag.
we tryed to line up the cap, but the extension has changed the natural line of the hull, and we could not get a good line down the side.
we tryed a few different ways, but the 2x4s were just too strong and flowing lines were illusive.....noklu (from i boats) showed up un announced, so we actually had three i boaters in the same garage.
....i thought that was kind of cool, as it happened in bc canada...i could see it in a major center.....but bc?
so with all of us scratching our heads.....we just talked and called it a day.
i thought about the problem all night and came up with a new plan, so sunday it was take no prisoners day. the plan was to form the cap extension and finish the sole.
after the huny do list was done, i jumped in the boat at 430 and started working on the sole....
every peice was, pre sanded, pre leveled, and pre screwed, this way the screw holes in the stringers and frames could be filled, before the final screw down.
the glass was pre cut for the underside
all the deck was wet out (the underside)
.
the glassing of the under deck is uasually unnessary. a good resin coat will do. but the deck is only 1/2 inch and i had lots of 1 oz matt....so.... what the heck?
