Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

What a great thread GT really enjoyed all the reading and great info!!!!

Welcome aboard jjkc, thanks for stopping by...glad you have enjoyed your visit, I look forward to your company...

Brutha Gus,

I love when good things happen to good people! Karma brutha..... Karma! This was meant to be!

Super happy for you and your trailer score dude!

Thank you Brutha Bear, I don't know if it was Karma or what, but it sure feels dang nice...

:facepalm:I can tell GT is not a "true" fisherman....he didn`t tell us about the fish they caught and "releashed" nor about the BIG one that got away
Congrats on the run of good luck

Thanks FlaCowboy, yep, I admit it I am not a true fisherman, but I sure as heck enjoy tryin to be...

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Hi y'all...

Hope everyone is having a good and productive weekend...

Beside's spending more than half the day replacing a rotted door in the back of the house, I only got a little boat related stuff done...

Pre-fit the new bunk boards to the trailer...now they have to dry out for a week or two before I can trim/round over the edges and bevel the ends, then glue and staple the new carpet on them...

Gotta finish up the back door installation tomorrow, but if I have time left over, I am planning on doing a little-itty-bitty bit of fiberglassing...if I get 'round-to-it...I'll post an update

Happy Sunday...

PS-I think somebody spiked my drink with some ALUMA-TIN flavored Kool-Aid, 'cause I am waiting on a phone call...if anything comes of it I will immediately see the Dr. about a prescription to prevent MBS...although I think the research into the cure for MBS is still an ongoing battle between cash, pole barns, WIVES, and acreage...:facepalm:

You already have the mule? Gotta have a mule to keep an eye on the joint whilst your away!

We need more team players w/ both boats in the garage! And the neighbors boat in the yard.... You're definitely gonna need the acres & the pole barn...

Congrats on an option.

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Well my weekend of boat work was derailed by this...

So I installed this...

And as promised, I had time to do the very first little-itty-bitty-bit of fiberglassing for the Bassassin...

Hope everyone had a good weekend...may the workweek be trouble free and go really quick...

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Nice job there GT, you got the rot out real good!

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Looks like you went pour in foam there. Since that door isn't structural you certainly could have gone with noodles

 

[jbcurt00]

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Great looking door ya got there! Well insulated too!

Starting small, getting a little practice, good plan.

Were you able to find a 2nd smaller piece of the project to use up the left over resin? It looks good!

 

[sphelps]

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Yep GT that old door was definitely ready for scrap heap. I'm surprised the boss let you let that one go for so long!
Strike that one off the H/D list!

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

well, that door for sure needed some love...
Nice job GT... You most def. deserved that beer. I hope it was just as good as the one I had...

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Hate to see you foaming on a door jam and not in the boat, but it looks like it was time for the door to be replaced.
Looks as if you held out as long as you could. Great job on the door.

Your glassing looks like a pro did it. Nice and clear and no bubbles.
Hope to see more of it real soon.

Oh, really nice score on the new trailer and the new bunk boards look good too!

Yeah, I'd rather be foaming a boat, too...but the door was kinda causing a draft and leaking all my A/C out...

Thanks, I am still pumped about the trailer...I keep going outside just to look at it and know it's not a dream...

well, that door for sure needed some love...

Yessir, it was definitely in need of some TLR...Tender Loving Replacement...
and yes, it was, thank you very much...cold and refreshing!

Hey Dave, look closely, the beer is in a "Glass" Bottle...LOL...

Kept "temporarily" fixing it, but it finally gave up the ghost, kinda like puttin a band-aid on a transom, but at least it didn't cause the house to sink...

Great looking door ya got there! Well insulated too!

Thanks!

Actually used up 100ml of some resin I had purchased many moons ago for other , "at the time", boat repairs...
It was just enough to soak the piece and add 1 layer of CSM...

Definitely used it as practice.

Looks like you went pour in foam there. Since that door isn't structural you certainly could have gone with noodles

You should see what it looks like underneath...





Oh wait that's somebody's SC...never mind...

Nice job the GT, you got the rot out real good!

If it isn't the transom and stringers rotting, it's the door...but at least this won't need to be glassed in...

I love it brutha!

Glassin' n' beer's

Is there any other way???...

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

It's a good thing, when that opportunity knocks phone call comes, you don't want this to be the welcoming doorway

If it's a tinny, the Starmada will surely leave your new hat at this door!

Has this pending phone call occurred yet?

Keeping it under wraps is probably best, I feel like a donkey-hole w/ a thread & no SC pickup yet. I was just so stinking stoked to be adding it to the fleet. May need to take a sick day this week.

Looking forward to seeing a 2nd boat in your boatyard or glassing progress in a prudent & judicious manner. I have made a date w/ 2nd woman in my life & my grinder this week too. SC or no SC pickup. Gotta honor my 1st project too...

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

I went by Thursday and left my number on a note on the door...either they are not interested in selling... or... I had a feeling like there wasn't anybody living there???...

Still haven't recieved a call, yet... but if I don't hear from them this week, I'm going to go by the place again...

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

Hey Gus, just climbed in the rear end of your elephant and climbed up into the boat, then tripped over a stringer and fell out the other side just to bang my head on the fireplace. I was so mad, that i went and hunted down that neighbor that reported you and punched him in the face. On the way back to your place I stopped in and got some good supplies from your nice neighbor and am now headed back to do some more bottom sanding on my own project. Sorry i missed you.


Anyway, just wanted to let you know, just got done finally reading through your thread. It has really been a fun read and your work just looks great. You got skills my friend. So you have all those supplies, now get to glassing. Awesome score on the trailer!

When is your splash date,lol :facepalm:

Re: Love, Necessity and Pride

May need to take a sick day this week.

I am aware of several so-called Dr's. on this forum that will gladly write you a prescription for one or two days off...

Heck, I'll even sign one for you by "Epstein's Mother"
