DIY HOW TO BUILD CUSTOM FIBERGLASS CENTER CONSOLE J 16 CAROLINA SKIFF

There is no easy way to do it! Fiberglass work is tough, dirty, messy and can be expensive if you have someone else do it for you. In this video, we wanted to give Priscilla, our 16' J-16 Carolina Skiff a center console and we can certainly not afford to pay someone else to make one for us. So with the help of my buddy Freddy Martinez, we made our one. In this video, we will take you through the process of doing your own fiberglass work and creating a strong, pretty, well built fiberglass center console to your customized liking. This will be my first fiberglass project and it is a big one! I'm super thrilled with how it turned out.

It's amazing to see how much Lorenzo has grown. You would think we have been working on Precilla for yrs lol.

[@watchyourlip3209]

It’s crazy bro. I can’t believe it when I see vids from last year

[@elsuperpollo2273]

I plan on building a center console for my 20 foot perahu canoe.

[@watchyourlip3209]

That’s awesome. I’d love to see how it turns out

[@Carnivorefitness2024]

Great series/project, I have never done fiberglass, and I havent really watched it being done, until now, I learned some things for sure! Roughly how much did it cost for materials to make it?

[@watchyourlip3209]

Awesome! I’m glad you’re learning something. You’re gonna be blown away when you see how this thing turns out. Right now we are building a polling platform in the rear. Rebuilding the transom and putting in Hardcore rod holders in the back. We’re gonna put in sea deck and some LED lights. It’s gonna be crazy!

I would have coated the console first before adding the glass but thats just me being weird.

[@jamestillman3150]

Whoah. I know I’m bigger around than you guys, but that console barely leaves any room to get by it. What you’re making is the same problem I’m making a console smaller to remedy. Still, great video. Thanks for the info

[@watchyourlip3209]

Thanks for the love man. There’s actually quite a bit of room on that starboard side. Our problem is weight balance. It’s a little heavy on port side

[@jamestillman3150]

@@watchyourlip3209 I see that now. I guess I spoke too soon. Cheers!

[@fishingflawda]

What material did you use to build the center console with? GREAT JOB

[@watchyourlip3209]

Thanks bro. It was a marine grade foam and fiberglass.

[@fishingflawda]

@@watchyourlip3209 will that work for a rear deck on a gheeno? If so where can I buy some. Thx

[@levihayes9980]

What’s the specs for the polling platform definitely need those on my j14 build

[@watchyourlip3209]

Hey thanks for watching. I made a video about the polling platform. It has all the specs

[@ManningTheOutdoors]

What is the tackle storage that you installed?

[@watchyourlip3209]

Thanks for watching! What what exactly is your question about the tackle storage? We ordered it on line and installed it. It holds our general tackle. Super convenient.

[@nicorivera9988]

What was the board called that you used to make the base structure

[@watchyourlip3209]

It is a marine grade foam for fiberglass work. They sell it in large sheets

[@mwatercress]

It looks like Divinycell H-60 foam board
