How much does a repair like that cost

I put a stepped pod on my boat. Goes great when going fast but at low planing speed the water comes up from the stern, strikes the pod and tracks up throwing water upwards. Have been running like this for years so no great problem but considering extending the hull line to eliminate the step.

Can u help me out to build a pod i am from india to get a pod is not easy it has to be imported its quite expensive i can make it if i can get measurements

You have to watch boatworks today so as to learn how to do it properly. that guy is a monster when it comes to fiberglass repairs ...

Materials and products used please?

Why wood ? Not coosa ?

Why are ppl surprised when they can get bolts, starters, alternators, engines out? Someone cleverer than you thought about it

Now sold.

Thank you for sharing your process on this repair, I have the same blistering on my hull. How long did you leave the boat out of the water to dry before pressure washing, and how long after pressure washing before applying the filler?

Where's the nice lady from the thumbnail 🥺

What does units refer to ?

Good job 👍

for under the water line holes should we use mat or gloth???

you gotta have the mold to do that..

Do you guys use acual fiberglass resin for the repairs or are you using something like West Systems epoxy for the patches? Great vid!

If a newer boat runs itself right up onto rocks and damages the hull extensively and is fixed under insurance, is this a big red flag and compromises it's strength? Should I stay away from purchasing it? Thoughts?

Thank you very much.

Welcome back. Looks like you have had a tough year but made it work out and hopefully have a bigger better shop and yard, I look forward to seeing it. I wish you and yours the very best, and especially your father who deserves at least a partial retirement... Respectfully... Joe

Thanks Brad . A video of what you are able to do in your new shop would be great . So far all ok with my boat . John Sehmer

New owner installed a Volvo Penta D6-440 DPI. Top speed almost 50 mph.

Given that electric outboards are less expensive and easier to refit than inboard motors AND allows the bay to be used for batteries I expect EV versions of this to become VERY popular.

Why can't you just do from outside?

No longer for sale. Owner will be keeping for the time being so maybe for sale again next year.

Was there a part 2 to this vid?

You skipped over the work

Nice

You have any video of engine settings?

did you use all epoxy for the boat extension?

Hello. A friend of mine said that Volvo Penta D3 has problems. What is your comment? 

What is polybond and when is it used?

Painful to watch....But, I appreciate that you're not a public speaker and come across as knowledgeable and authentic. Maybe it's just me, but using the term "pasted" sounds like a school project, and undervalues the actual precision work you're doing. Why/how are the stringers joined/slanted? and are they reinforced somehow prior to the fiberglassing? handling

How long is the bracket?

Hi ! How long is your bracket on the first boat ? Currently owning a cigarette 41 1988 i’d like to fit a 35/37 inch bracket on it but i feel like it’s too long

Wow. Amazing repair!

Some questions Sir: What is the prime reason for this....I read the outdrives consume WAY less gas, is that true? What motor was in that before and what is the price of such a 300hp outboard. And lastly, could this be done to some speedboat like a Formula SR-1 and would it still lean as crazy in the curve? Thanks for your time :)

That first Mercury has an extra Long shaft.

I am having a regal 2665 in India I want to change from inboard to outboard can u please guide me to built a pod because getting it locally is impossible and to import from USA it's costing me a fortune.

Hi good evening

I think this is the owners son Hector could of gave us better info

Very nice

Where is dealer please thanks

Fabulous work ❤

Time for a new windshield wipers😅

Id like to know how you calculate the lift, and why the bottom of your pod doesn't follow the hull?

Fantastic. Thank you for taking the time and effort to produce this video

You did a much much better job explaining this time around. And yet, you still managed to make it painful to watch.

Looking to extend and modify my Roberts 25 Yacht this information will really be useful for this.

Everybody wants brackets but this makes more sense. Brackets don't add hull length in most cases. Hull length is important because it adds efficiency at lower displacement speeds by adding waterline length. Displacement speed is the speed at which the wavelength of a vessel's bow wave is equal to the waterline length of the vessel. By extending the waterline hull length, you extend the displacement speed. The effort to push the boat faster rises considerably. You can go faster before that resistance in encountered. This also provides displacement/flotation back where it's needed which is under the heavy engine. This in turn reduces the leverage of supported weight aft of the transom which tends to cause porpoising. A common defect even in new boats. This also reduces the strain a bracket creates on the transom as well which means heavier reinforcement can be avoided. This also reduces the height of the outboard once installed which reduces the center of gravity height problems that outboards have. How? A common bracket allows the water to cleave clear of the bottom much further forward of the outboard. The water then rises as it proceeds aft requiring the outboard to be mounted even higher for the cavitation plate to make contact properly. But this does not occur with this design which is the same as normal transom mounted outboards. The water flows clear of the bottom right in front of the propeller where it needs to be. In fact with brackets, its common to need electric engine height adjusters installed because of the different water exit heights that far aft of the transom at different speeds. Unnecessary with this arrangement. Additionally, this allows for a shorter shaft length for the outboard which reduces the center of gravity problem that all outboards have versus inboards which sit where they should be- at the bottom of the boat. This also provides a swim platform on either side of the engine as well.

May I respectfully recommend a some que cards or a script? I'm guessing I missed some information simply because I couldn't handle waiting for the explanations. Blame my ADHD but I was forced to fast forward. I'd hoped it would change. But un the end I just had to give up. Lol All joking aside. I do mean this with no disrespect. As it is very informative. And seems to be very quality oriented/focused work. Thanks for the video. And keep pushing em out. It'll get better no matter what.

would you recomend outboard conversion on a 99 seadoo 7 person challenger? thinking its my only option sinse bad computer that they dont make anymore and any tips when i procede with this venture?
