Thanks man, getting there slowly!

Thanks man appreciate the views! So the hatch gives me access to the bilge area under the floor so i can get to my bilge pumps, livewell pump, and engine mounts.

​@@dylanbefishing of course! Did I miss you installing the pumps or is that installed after the floor is laid?

Appreciate it! 🤙🏼

Hahaha this is true 😅 … I get decent pricing on it and never have to really worry about bonding issues

@@dylanbefishing what you putting on top Awlgrip and none skid

Thanks man definitely a lot of cleaning up and shaping left to do 🙏🏼

Thanks for watching, more coming soon!

im going to work on getting one. ill keep you updated

Thanks man! Working on the next video this weekend 🤙🏼

I went with Coosa and yes i did 3+ layers of 1708

Appreciate that 🙏🏼 Definitely a lot of work 😅

Fort Lauderdale area

Im aware. Next time I’ll be glassing it outside of the boat and then glass the edges into the hull… hard to get every air bubble out using epoxy.

It’s a little of both. the roller I used kinda tinted the resin whiteish and then some of the air bubbles was nearly impossible to remove… I already glued the floors in so I had to do the best I can… next time I’ll be preglassing it outside of the boat and just tie the edges in. Live and learn.

@ Thank you!👍

Could it been better with regular laminating resin for bubbles?

🤫🤫🤫 thanks man

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it.

Appreciate that!

To be honest you're right lol.... I need to just buy a large trash bin to keep next to the job site

I’ll be making a trailer bunk video… since it was an epoxy repair I prepped the surface with 545 to adhere with the gelcoat

Thanks! Appreciate that 🤙🏼

Yes got lucky down here lol and I’ll be working on that video soon 🤙🏼

Can this be done with laminating resin?

I went with epoxy resin knowing it’ll adhere the strongest. Being in the spot it at I wanted to make sure of a solid repair

@@dylanbefishing Thank you keep up the good work

Appreciate that man 🙏🏼

I’m a handy guy w an 1980’s Mako with almost no Glass skill but encouraged to try after watching

You bet! Thanks man 🤙🏼

Yea definitely worth it! I’m a Milwaukee geek so I had to get the Milwaukee over priced version lol

False. Coosa is 28lb fiberglass reinforced foam. It absolutely needs glass for it to have any strength.

Definitely going to try the peel ply methods for the kill box when I glass the last bulkhead in.

Saw the peel ply on your IG get method!

Epoxy is much stronger. Spend the extra $$$ now and not later. I wont do poly resins below deck on a rebuild, thats just me and my standards. I know how well epoxy adheres to old glass. If you watch the video of me gutting out this SeaCraft you'll see all the delaminated glass i ripped out.

@@dylanbefishingthe entire hull is Poly along with the gelcoat and that lives below the waterline. The delamination happens due to poor prep and application not because of the failure of the resin. Epoxy is overkill for laminating Coosa. The bond strength of the epoxy will never be reached because the coosa will fail before the epoxy does. If you try to pull epoxy laminated glass off a piece of coosa the coosa will separate from itself. The weakness is the coring material not the resin itself. Also 1708 should not be used with epoxy resin. The extra layer of .75oz CSM will hold about 30% more resin than is necessary making your lamination heavier and also more brittle due to the higher percentage of resin to glass.

Thanks, yea the tripod is a Milwaukee tripod for the laser to mount under for low line areas. I'm not 100% sure but i believe it self levels to a certain degree.

Thanks man!

appreciate that

Thanks! Glad someone understands lmao!

Thanks appreciate that 🤙🏼

@@dylanbefishing definitely going to be doing the stringers on my channel the same lol
