Constructing The Boat Cabin | 1963 O'Day Vintage Design

[@tunerrestorations]

As a future project these look great with larger windows. Really brightens up the cabin and makes it feel much larger.

You and me both!

[@charleshutchings9355]

Great progress. I really like the two tone look of the woods. Maybe just a clear marine grade sealer on the unfinished wood? Whatever you do with it will look great. Thanks for the update!

that looks fkn' awesome !

[@vickielee8958]

You work with some scary products!

[@bumpkin52]

Looks great. Not sure how the older Mariners were built, but the area under my 93 Mariner’s V-berth was filled with sheets of 4 inch styrofoam. I have a feeling you used exterior grade plywood, But after you cut hatches in the v-berth decking you may want to coat the back sides with epoxy to stop moisture ingress.

[@restrothunderroad]

It's marine grade so paint and varnish etc should be fine.

[@bumpkin52]

Sorry it wasn't evident from the video that the enclosed (underside) side of the plywood used for forward berth was painted or varnished before installation.

[@michaelsleep8762]

I was surprised that with all the effort to rebuild the cabin that you didn't epoxy coat all of the plywood. What was your thought process?

[@restrothunderroad]

The older Mariners didn't have seal on the plywood so I figure using a similar marine plywood with paint and varnish should be enough.

Any chance we could get the boat videos put into playlists based on boat number and order of videos? Love your content but is a hassle sometimes trying to watch a single project in order.

[@kaanakdamar4040]

👍

[@chuckwolf8540]

No storage under the front bunk areas?

[@restrothunderroad]

Was going to cut some but decided to hold off for other options.

[@russellwatters5891]

Man, she's sexyyyy...❤ The interior is poppin with the fresh white and stain! I'd AwlGrip the floorboard personally, or use the marine paint you have and throw sand on it before drying. You're going to have everyone jealous😂😅 Love what you're doing 😊

"Last time on breaststroke thunder road"

[@ashley-tm1uk]

i cut my teeth on an old o’day mariner 19’… when i was 12 years old my dad was an architect who got paid by a deadbeat client with a boat and car…nobody in my family knew how to sail…i used to ride my bike to go see it often and dream of sailing her one day… that boat sat in a slip for 2 years before i decided the only way it was going to happen is if i just did it, and that i did…i pushed off from the dock and raised the sails…had no idea of how to tack or anything…i finally figured out enough to get out of the harbor and into the lake… i sailed until the sun set , and did that as often as i could ever since… that is an awesome boat!…i had experienced very heavy weather with her before i knew what reefing was… i think my 17 yr old girlfriend liked that little hot enclosed cabin more than the cockpit for some reason… i sailed that boat all through college and we sold her after i started sailing my old uncle’s lancer 45’….i’ll never forget that little pea green boat that we never named…hope you have as much joy from yours… cheers brother!

[@restrothunderroad]

Very cool! I myself wasn't much of a sailor until I got my hands on Thunder Road. ⛵️🤙

[@adamtedder1012]

I love this stuff but hate doing it. Especially cutting and sanding fiberglass. It's aweful. End result is always satifying.

[@fauvewalker3648]

I stopped watching at the point where you started mixing epoxy in bare feet? Yes I know you’re a rockstar, I’m a professional boat builder, nothing else needs to be said

[@restrothunderroad]

Thanks for making it that far! 😄🤙
