Re: pic of work so far

hate to tell you this buddie but that wax on the floor isn't needed yet

HAHAHAHA sorry i missed this Neil !!! hahaha It not a wax its a buffing compound , to take the wax off !! I just hit a spot to see what it would do !!! I was trying to clean some of the dirt off , man it sure made it shine !!! lol

well I am getting on her today got to make some blocks to raise it up some !! at least 6 inch so i can get me and the Dollie under there !!

and i think the rub rail is coming off, I got a couple more hour of grinding the spiders out !!

And also got to drain my turbo heater , she kick on and goes right out , changed the spark plug last week , and that didnt fix it , she is sparking all the time and the spray is going good , so it got to be the gas !!

Ok well i think its nap time , more later !! john

Re: pic of work so far

how do you like working with the marine tex john?


its looking good.....just a little more time and your done!

have you tryed to sand down any the marine tex yet?.....if you take a sanding block.......longer than the repair area.....and youve filled the area higher than the surrounding surfaces.........you will get it flat as factory in no time..........if you need to fill more....go ahead....remember to clean with aceitone.........the key to a perfect boat is the prep.

Hay Bud,

the marine -tex isn't that bad , last week when i work it in some of the spiders that i ground out , I made a bunch of it and 30 min, later it was still workable , the temp was in the upper 50's so that helped a lot , I didn't care how long it took to harden, cause i wasn't going to sand till today !!

and sanding it isn't that bad either , it a little harder the the gel-coat , and i am cheating , I am using a parallel that is hardened steel , useing the sharp edge and scraping it frist !!! man is it cutting down on the grinding !!! am it is pertty smooth even before i grind !!

So i did get some boards cut to fit under the jack stands , got it up about another 4 inchs !! I am going to try it there !!

While i was under there , i was looking at the keel [ the bottom of the center deep v ] and there is some wear under there not to bad but down to the glass !! I am going to have to build it up with the marine tex !! i was looking at them keel gaurds before , i think I will put one one her !!! Other then that , there is just the one gouge that i did with the trailor !! and that is only a little over a inch !! the rest under there looks really good !! except right under the transom there is a spot that i really didnt get a good look at yet !!

I didnt get the rub rail off , and i didnt get a nap in eather , went to lay down and the school called my middle one was pucking !! so had to go get her !!! my poor Baby !! and so that shot the nap !!! &&^%$%$&^&&*(((^^ lol I got tomorrow off tooo so we will see how far i get on her tomorrow , and i will get some pics also up tomorrow !! John

Re: pic of work so far

Hay all , didnt get a lot done on her today !1 did fix a spots on the transom . Where i clamped the motor mounts crack the glass , so i ground out two slits about 4 inchs above the spots where the clamps sit. I mixed up some epoxy and poured it in there , before that I duct taped under there so it wouldnt leak out , then poured it in !! it still leaked , not much then when it set , i mixed another batch and pryed the slots open again shoved a bunch of glass in there after i weted it out and then poured some more epoxy in there !!! Its not going anywhere now !! I will post some pics later!!

Did get a little more grinding done and scraped some of the really high spots on the marine tex !!

Other then that , had a buddie call and said he need help with a doe !! so that shot 3 hours !! when he said he need help , it ment you you cut him up for me !!! lol lucky he is my best friend !!! lol John
