Well back at it this weekend. More getting the shop ready actually. Never realized I would need air sander but obviously not wet sanding with my electric sanders. I have several little compressors but nothing that's going to run a DA. Found a big honkin 7hp 60 gal compressor on craigslist and went and bought it yesterday. Getting that set up and ready to build a cradle next. I've been looking for a pix of a cradle in the various posts but haven't seen one yet. I have a plan but would like to see if there's some better ideas out there first. Needs to be adjustable to do the JetFlight later too. Also could use a suggestion on where to buy all this sandpaper. I see it straight from 3M's website and at autogeek etc. Nothing local in my little town.

I used to do stuff like that too. Not comfortable with it anymore. And what a nice excuse to get a new item in the shop. Was only $300.

All the electric sanders and buffers  were plugged into GFI outlets should not be a problem.

You guys sure put me on the right track for restoring gelcoat. I did this spot on the C-500 tonight in just a few minutes with 1500 wet and course compound by hand. Amazing.

Looks like it is gonna come back real nice! When I did my CVX18 I tried not to remove anymore material(gelcoat)than necessary to get the results I wanted.

Makes sense, thanks. I think I'll start out with 1500. Even if it takes a little longer it would eliminate a whole step with 1000 or 1200?  1500 then med compound then finish compound (Finess it) ? is that the stuff? This is a ways off anyway, got the transom and floor to deal with first. Finally got the engine mothballed and off the boat Wed night. Still need to build a cart / cradle. Don't see many pix of cradles on this forum. I guess just a rectangle out of 2x6's and then some struts up to stringers with wrapped with carpet? I thought of just leaving it on the trailer, pushes around easy but I think it would loose it's shape when the lid comes off. Maybe I could just put more struts and supports on the trailer? What do you guys have?

Crebb,

I actually plan on pulling my V-179 off the trailer and put it on a cradle to work on the stringers and Transom. Then the plan is to move the cradle over to my CVZ-18 and then do the stringers and transom and then work on the gel coat repair. I would think that a trailer would cause too many localized pressure points and cause the hull to twist with or with out the cap on.

re: cradles - Have you seen Frisco Boater's series on the rebuild of his CVX Crebb?  There are two videos on how he built the cradle he's using;
Project Carlson CVX-18 - Building a Cradle Part 1
Project Carlson CVX-18 - Building a Cradle Part 2
Plus Ole Red built a nice one under the Scimitar, I'm sure he'd be glad to help with info on his if needed.

My GT150 sat on the trailer when I was doing the stringers and floor, but I moved the bunks outward as far as possible and made sure the hull was up off the center rollers until the structure part of the project was done and the cap was back on.  It's an amateur job, but the thread is below if you would like to look it over;

Mark beat me to it.

Frisco's redoing a CVX-18 right now, and his videos are top notch.  That boat is going to be the best rebuilt CVX-18 out there when its done.
