Using EEEEEEEEEEpppppooooxxy so no gelcoat. That's Woodonglass paint recipe/rustoleum. 4 coats so far. Very happy with the application and finish.

Just about the hardest thing in the world to drill holes in a brand new transom.

Just about the hardest thing in the world to drill holes in a brand new transom.

The breathholding part for me was seeing BONE DRY wood coming out. Sealed them up last night with some PPPoooxy and working today between rain drops.

 

[kcassells]

So some more blah, blah, blah'
Drilled out the transom drain hole, gleassed up the battery shelf, prepped the weep holes. Kinda made a technique the makes it easier for me. Took 3/4" pvc, stuck on paint tape, ran the edges with my thumb and was able to pull off the excess. Kinda like a gasket. So when I set the pvc the pb doesn't fill it and make me have to battle it.
Working under a tarp with rain off/on.

Working under a tarp....

 

[Woodonglass]

Go Kevin GO!

 

[kcassells]

trying to keep it up MIke, Thanks!
So the Rain Gods keep teasing me but I sacrificed 1 of my dogs and got some time to play on the boat.
Finished the thru bulkhead weeps, Set the already 2x wet out battery shelf. Sanded and pb my a.. off.
Heat lamps to help cure it out if the Rain Gods change there minds.;

 

[kcassells]

I did not install the other 2 pcs. of ply. Rain ya see... They will be for thru the hull and bilge pump stuff. All the wood was glassed wet on wet bottom side. Will probably angle the wood off for glass rather than making a pb angle for glass.

 

[kcassells]

Oh yea screws came out of the ledger and filled w/pb.

 

[kcassells]

Got the battery shelf glassed in, wet on wet. What's that you say?...It's beer o'clock time!~!

The old boat's doing great. We relocated to a small island northeast of Vancouver Island, BC, that has a great public marina, so getting in lots of crabbing and fishing. I haven't attempted posting pics on here yet, not really sure how to do it using my little camera (no smart phone). Halibut fishing is closing tomorrow, so we'll give her a go today, see if we can't land a slab.

Well GOOD Luck and I hope you land a SLOB of a fish!! Get some pics. MY cell is a droid but I think I recall you saying you don't use a cell. What's your camera, maybe I can look into it and see if there are settings. I do know you can also get a puter to downsize the pics.
Pics, pics pics!!
Note: did the pics above show up? I went to a remote puter and they wern't there. Tx!

 

[Mikeopsycho]

The pics in 735 did not show up.

I brought the camera with me yesterday, but the batteries were dead. Left the camera on the boat. I think it's a Kodak :noidea:. Can I take photo's, load them on my lap-top, then post from my lap-top onto here ?

Nope, no hali blood got on the boat yesterday. Picked a few dungies :hungry: and caught a couple small pinks, and a couple small soles, but nothing too exciting. There are still some nice chinooks in the area, but I couldn't find them.

 

[kcassells]

So I went and tried to hurry the pics...oh well says I! Eartheyr:}
