Hey mate, the boat is in getting some upholstery work done right now. Once that’s done there’s a few small jobs to do and the boat will be ready for its final video. I promise the wait will be worth while.

Contsruction design and quality is outstanding overall. Too many holes in the baffles, also you have twice as many baffles actually needed. It doesnt hurt anything just letting you know. Also, instead of tacking with hot glue use thickened resin with a sandable filler like Q-Cell with 20 to 50% more hardener than normal if you want it to harden up fast... also, you use small pieces of glass mat for tacking also with extra hardener. It holds way better than hot glue and no strength or bonding surface lost.

@ADVENTURES_ADRIFT Ай бұрын
G’day John, thanks for dropping in and checking out the video. I’ve been using the boat a fair bit and haven’t had any issues like that. I put a grit down on the floor for grip and I’m really happy with how it has provided a good even grip without being to hard on the feet. I might do a foam floor one day but for now that flowcoat with speckle and grip is working well. Cheers

I've found this series really motivating mate, thankyou! Quick one from me - looks like you're ripping the CS instead of cutting it with sissors, is that intentional? I can imagine it'd make the edge of the sheet lay down flatter when it's glassed in.

i used to run the foam department for 1/2 million $ sport fishers. the trick is to keep the foam resins around 72 degrees for as long as you can,( store and mix if you can) the cold and speed buy time to flow before the rise, power mix like hell, and pour fast. there are some that snear at cutting closed cell foam, but the way you resealed seamed effective. great job man.n

Yup spraying gelcoat outside mold is a waste of time. BUT the solution we have had in usa for 30+ years is to use Duratec gelcoat from Hawkeye industries. It uses different chemistry and fully cures on surface and it can be sprayed to a smooth gloss finish , you can also mix the clear Duratec with your ‘special color’ of gelcoat to make it come out smooth and fully cured. The finish product could be left as is but usually sand starting with 400 or 600 grit then buff and go! Cheers Warren
@alexbernal4988 Ай бұрын
Duratec will convert your gelcoat in something very different. If you don’t want to sand use paint. Duratec is garbage.
@Cheers_Warren Ай бұрын
@@alexbernal4988 well you must be using it wrong or don’t understand Duratec. I’ve used Duratec or similar Fourseal (until they stopped making it) for 40 years. I don’t use the hi gloss option very often but Duratec has true high build primers , potentially much higher build than the Alex seal primer , but I’ve not used the Alex seal. Duratec primer can be built up from 10-30+ mil in one ( multi coat) application, wet on wet. It sprays like simple lacquer primer! It’s is easy to sand and depending on product can be polished to a high enough gloss finish to make molds from as I have done all my working life building pattern /plugs , models molds etc. The high gloss option when mixed with gelcoat or primer , various options to choose from, can produce very high gloss right out of the spraygun needing minimal to no sanding depending on what you end product or use is. Duratec uses chemistry that allows a 100% full cure on the surface without any air inhabitation , ie no surface dry additives like ‘wax’ required. But If I’m Building a boat or repairing I would use Alex seal or other similar linear urethane gloss paint if I had the facilities. It has the best uv protection available. A blanket statement ‘Duratec is garbage’ is of no value it has its place and is a Incredible productline that transformed the tooling industry. For my self and at my shop I have done a number of projects to a hi gloss standard that have stood the test of time outside. Cheers Warren

Doing a gel coat job is easy. You just sand, and sand, and sand, and sand, and sand, and sand some more. Then you're ready to prep. Sand again, and sand again, and sand again, and sand again.... Then spray the primer... Then, sand again, and sand again, and sand again... Then FINALLY spray some gel coat! Then, you have to sand it, and sand it , and sand it some more. You get the idea. And, don't forget to clean it real good with acetone in between sanding. All joking aside, I think you did a very good job! You'll be done in a few years... I wouldn't have the patience for it, mate...

The acetone between coats is a persistent error in the industry. All it does is weaken the bond with the subsequent gelcoat application. SMH

I would not have put the metal fittings at the aft end of the tank. I'd have them at the front end. When you accelerate the fuel will all be forced to the back of the tank and you will have these forces applied to where the tubing passes through the tank.. I also fear that you will have leaking issues where you glassed around the tubing. This area should be gasketed.
