so i have been busy trying to get the boat sanded and all the glass work finished up , on my underside of the front bow whoever tried to repair it looks like they reached under and splattered glass filler and expected that to hold ..... so i took my 7" and ground her down to the base and glassed some 1x1 wood stock in ...

also i had to cut out the drill holes where they mounted the tower with NO backing plate so that pulled and stressed the glass pretty good . but nothing that
1708 and a hot batch of poly wont cure so here are some updates .. this weekend im putting the top on to measure the cut outs for blowers and cable
entry ..

how do you upload videos ?

how do you upload videos ?

Upload them to Youtube and then link to them here with the {video} link to video {/video} code. Oh course you need to replace the { } symbols with [ ] when you
're actually doing it.

question : i bought 3'' OD straight cut exhaust tips for the boat and tack welded some internal flappers ... is that going to be enough?
cause there still is some entry gaps on the sides of the internal flappers but nothing more than an 1/8'' ... My worry is that as the boat is sitting in the water
they will fill up and have a chance of hydrolocking .... I have brand new mani's and risers also and i know the risers are supposed to prevent that from happening ,but how much of a wave would it take to get enough in the pipe ?

I'd think the main concern is to have a stop or limit on the flapper. Flappers aren't water tight, but need to limit a sudden pressure surge - reverse, stern roller, etc.
