starting the rebuild and fiberglass supplies
melinprov:
So I have been lazy on the V179 but spring is finally here and so many other chores and projects had to be done but I'm ready to get back on it. I have been having some trouble finding a local supplier of fiberglass project material and have been hoping to find it in Salt Lake City which is about 100 miles from here but may end up paying shipping and getting it from elsewhere. I appreciate all the help I've gotten here to get this far. I have been looking through a lot of other posts here for great information too. Here is where I am at right now

Having a local supplier is a plus, they generally will share a great deal of information related to their products and how it applies to your project. If one doesn't exist, there are plenty that provide on line sales and will talk to you if you call them. Omaha has some suppliers, but none are Marine specialists. I've purchased most of my materials from on line sources, the price plus shipping is fairly close to competitive to local. I found 8" woven roving in rolls to be super handy for tabbing. Certainly lots of rebuild threads on here, take time to review and develop a plan. Don't be afraid to ask, send emails, make calls, etc.... remember, all of us were once in your shoes and learned sometimes the hard way. Good luck

Our local supplier got me very close to the amounts I needed of all supply's.
Told them what I was doing and they told me what and how much ... and even tips on best way to do it.
I had forgot about some items that needed glassing so had to go back for more resin.
Boat building experts with years of experience, good people to deal with ..
Heck ... Joe's on a first name basis with Jim ;)

I just ordered about 1/2 of what I think I need for this rebuild. I ordered less than what I thought I needed in order to re access it after a hands on session. I ordered from a place called Fiberglass Warehouse because of its proximity to my location and free shipping. I'm itching to go!
