-lively-
Looking good Lively! Glad you're able to move ahead even without perfect weather.
that's great. you'll start knocking 'projects' out in chunks soon.
have you seen where some years they didn't run the floor all the way to the transom? i'd have done that had i known. leaves access to the backside of the exhaust and platform bolts.
Looks good man
what i plan to do is leave the middle detachable for access to the rudder and tilt tube , the exhaust portions i think i will do the same , i still have to sand and spray the boat so everything will need to be put on after that , so its still up in the air .. but i was looking at the front bow and found that some yahoo that used CSM and body filler i guess
thinking it was the resin lol expected that was going to hold or something , So i used a puddy knife and it peeled off like flaking paint ha ha ... I think i will glass a wood frame around the middle bow stringer and then when the cap goes back on ill tie the frame into the floor ... Anybody know whats the best method for stress cracks?
i guess it depends on what the cracks look like?, i am sandin down the gel coat where the cracks are and just doing new gel coat in those areas.
oh yea what paint you decide to use ?
We'll after talkin with ken about gel coat vs two part petit I think I'm going with the two part , he said that re gel coating is alot of sanding and re sanding to get the shine .. With two coats primer and three coats topside two part sprayed on should be easy Enough once I get my little gringos to help me sand this darn thing lol .. U found out what ur gonna do with your pss shaft seal ?
pss is very helpful. they found a replacement seal for me so i didn't have to buy an whole new setup. from what i've seen most of the newer styles use water as coolant. the old style doesn't...KISS.
