[@Darren-h3s]

Great vid's mate. I don't envy that task!!

[@DownSouthWaterRats]

Bro I just realised who you are your front bunbury I love you vids

[@chriskirkwood6826]

Awesome project. I’ve always liked the look of those Sailfish Cats. Was it moored full time with that amount of electrolysis?

[@WaterboyzFishSurfSpear]

At some stage of its life it was moored, but trailered for the past 10 years or so.

Could go with a fridge slide into that empty space behind the box

Doesn't look like your using the right grade of aluminium to replace the deck sheets. And why are you pressing flanges on the outboard edges of the deck plates why not just cut them in properly?

[@WaterboyzFishSurfSpear]

Hey mate using grade 5083 on the hull haven’t had issues using it in the past in marine applications. Surprisingly Sailfish decks are riveted and sickered (I think they still use this process today, but i could be wrong) not a true sealed deck I will reinstall it how it came out, if I need to make any modifications later. I don’t want to be cutting out a fully welded deck to get into things like fairing blocks if I don’t get them set up right on the first run. 👍🏼

Why you being a hater John. The young man knows what he's doing.

[@john27270]

@@jackjfjfjf never seen anyone pressing flanges on deck sheets before so curious. Using the right grade aluminium is also important as 2 years down the track he will start seeing pitting on the deck, sheets. The radius and tooling he used to fold the decks indicates its not 5083 aluminium.

@@john27270 1. It's his boat and he's a fabricator if he has issues he can fix it. 2. You can bend 5083 aluminium without it cracking. 3. It's his boat.

[@john27270]

@@jackjfjfjf yeah correct, if you pay attention to the tooling you can see its not 5083 aluminium. As one would know, when you go to the lengths of modifying a boat its easy to take shortcuts to save you a moment of grief. A moment doesn't last a lifetime, I've seen it time and time again with incorrect materials and practices causing lots of expensive bills later on. But you're right its his boat 🤷‍♂️
