Wood rotted ?
Title: Re: Let the fun begin
Post by: carlsoncvx18 on December 23, 2018, 05:17:19 PM: All the wood has been replaced stringers, floor and transom.

The seats were redone many years ago and hardly evere used.

The flake is very faded out needs to be redone..

Plan is to flip over and remove the hook from the inside strake in and repaint. Will stay the same color light gray and silver metal flake.

Between this boat and my wonderful and understanding wife is where the addiction started.

Title: Re: Let the fun begin
Post by: Plugcheck on January 01, 2019, 08:22:07 PM: We've done several flips in the past using a long 2" pipe as a centerline, how are you planning to flip this project Jeff? From the sanding pictures, the original finish was not restorable, are you going to gel coat or shoot an intercoat clear? Same colors? Liked the 2008 meet photo, I recognize some familiar boats, is that bar fly?

Title: Re: Let the fun begin
Post by: Diamond Chad on January 22, 2019, 09:03:05 AM: Jeff, for those of us (me) that doesn't fully understand the process, can you describe the steps you are taking which result in the hook removal.
Title: Re: Let the fun begin
Post by: fireman24mn on January 22, 2019, 01:33:16 PM: Jeff is just filling in the hook. By laying a straight edge on the bottom of the boat you can see how much is there. On my 23 resto I ground out the back trailing edge and then filled the rest. Since Jeff isn’t doing the floor again he can’t add additional layers to replace grinding some out. He is just filling it to get it flat/ straight. Think of hook as a built in trim tab. He is also extending the center 2 strakes all the way to the transom. From the factory they stopped about 18” from the transom.

First step was remove gel coat to bare fiberglass. He is then using fiberglass filler( kitty hair). Then finish with regular filler (think bondo), epoxy prime, and paint/ gel.
