Re: hull extension in progress with picks

I was also thinking... You know the video camera for the day/night vision? I can set it up so you could record anything it displays. Just a thought.

i was thinking......could the system be hooked up for remote operation....as in seeing the live feed from the camera on a different computer at home?

thats fantastic anti theft

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

Yeah Oops, that could definately be done with a PC based system and a wireless or hard wired broadband connection. There's definately software available out there for that. Once, I worked for a major Internet provider and I had a camera set up at home that I could watch from work (complete with audio). It could definately be done. The program I used at the time can be found here.

You might find something free (Open Source) that will work here.

Can't wait to see how she's coming along.

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

bubba.......i have 2 ideas that i am going to incorperate into this boat....that, if sucessful.... i will patent and shop around.....whats one more?....but your ideas will need several patents.....at least 10 i can think of......

last time i checked....patents were 5-7 k each.......but....that is what the stock market is for

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

what a carpy night on the boat.....

murphy kept coming around.....

ity was a night i wasnt looking foward to....lots of grinding, some glassing...(no big deal for that)...and a lot of vaccumimg.

when i got to the boat.... it was allmost 8....


the jobs were simple.....install the coolers....plumb them in....glass the frames in and screw down the deck.

the first thing i had to do was vaccume the entire inner hull....a job i was sick of a long time ago.

That dash sure looks a LONG way away from the transom doesn't it?

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

heh heh heh........i fell asleep at the computer posting a pic of a vaccume...........lol

ok....im awake......


i had to re vaccume the hull because once its sealed......if the under deck isnt clean.....you will allways have a dusty boat.....i was considering leaving a beer cap in there....but ....nawwwww.
the white spots in the air is dust flying around.

well thats when murphy showed up....i fought with him for a few hours.....i bought a 1 1/4 hole saw....so i could install the drains in te coolers and mount the coolers........

well the drill bit on the whole saw wasnt a 3/8ths bit...!.....i needed that hole saw....and it was too late, the store had allready closed....so i had to come up with somthing......

an 11 ml socket with a 1/4 inch drive.......a 8 inch 1/4 extension.....and i cut the drive end off a 1/4 inch hand held driver.....what a pita finding all that stuff.

but it worked......and the coolers went in....along with the drains to the bilge.

in this pic....you can see the drains.....to seal them....i just used pl.construction adheasive.

.

i also had a ton of grinding to do on the various peices for the deck....so i cleaned up the edges of everything.....tommorow.....ill be working on cutting out the ski locker and the cooler ....and glassing in the frames.

cheers
oops

Re: hull extension in progress with picks

OOPS you mentioned leaving a beer cap in the hull. That made me think. Uh Oh!

Why don't you make a little "Time Capsule" for future generations to find. Just a digital collection of all the photos of the extension process saved to a disk, sealed in a little box and mounted under the floor. Then add a little shield on the boat somewhere thats says, before destroying or disposing of the boat, please remove, and give to the ?Canadian National Museum of Transportation?.

Was just a thought.

I agree. What a cool thing for a future generation to find cuz I'm sure with the work put into that boat, it'll be around a long time. Also, ensure you add this thread to go with it. It truly shows the evolution of this boat.

I'm sure the folks who built this in 69 would love to see its final state.

cool idea turtle and nelson......

and actually, when i contacted sea ray about the epoxy (there was some confusion about the boats origional construction) thing a while ago...and spoke on the phone..i mentioned the thread to the coustomer rep...the coustomer rep asked me where it was.......i got an e-mail a few days later from them with kind words of encouragement..and said it was cool that id stuck with the proj...i think the thread was around 70,000 views at that time.....and they mentioned the number of views!

i hope they acknolage these forums (i boats) as a force in the market place.

any how....they said they would be following it from time to time. and see how far ive gotten.....it was really cool.

now....if i can just kick murphy out of the shop for a while....i may be able to get the floor in tonight !

I think he should install a telephone at the console and another one back at the stern in case he needs to tell the passengers something.

I think a battery powered bull horn would do.
