[@SailLife]

Looks awesome as always, Andy! Thanks for the shout out :) I'm so excited to have BoatworksToday videos every week!

[@boatworkstoday]

We'll have to chat again soon :-)! I'll be keeping an eye out for your vid later this afternoon!

[@mwatkins2464]

I love both of your videos!!! You all are onto something very big. 👍👍👍

[@jaysparc]

Today I get the double hit -- my two favorite channels @boatworkstoday @saillife

[@lydiaajohnson]

Me too, Mads. Have a great time in LA. I love your videos too. It's cool that you and Andy watch each other's channels. Maybe he could visit your boat, or you could visit Boat Works Today. That would be awesome.

[@matthiasernst5095]

A new channel might be born: "The Godfathers of Sanding"

[@UncleJohn42]

Damn, dude! If we're not related we should have been. Watching your videos is about 1/3 de ja vue as if I'm watching a video of me on the far side of your expertise. Heading out to finish my glass job!

[@fishermankaidyas6523]

Just wanna let you know , if it wasnt for you i wouldnt of even brought my boat, got an old shetland 535 , and ive never used fiberglass or owned a boat but like you , im pretty handy. I have now chopped out the entire transom including glass, and the splashwell, and rebuilt my own custom height transom , and will be finishing it today. You shoukd be very proud of yourself for the knowledge you pass on, very very proud of myself for what ive done and its all because of your whaler videos and that "impact" haha hole . Just thankyou, your a pleasure to watch and love all the extra info !!!!

[@Nextlevelmarine]

FishermanKai Dyas Yes I know basic cosmetic fiberglass. Want to get into structural fiberglass. He is very smart and talented.

[@wdanderson1984]

A 20lb box of 410???😦...that’s a lot of product. It’s already a large can when you buy it in the 2oz package. I love your channel brother, your experience and information brings a ton of value to KZbin. I’ve got a 2006 Mitzi skiff 17 that needs a decent amount of glass and fairing work. Your channel has been my one single source of information regarding direction and technique with how I’ve approached various projects on my boat.

[@mwatkins2464]

Loved the video and can’t wait till I can start seeing them every week !!

[@joemagnani452]

Super excited to follow the next project!

[@RossWilliamsDC]

Love your attention to detail. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@franklindmurphy]

Can’t wait to see full time Andy videos. We got you man!

[@mohamedalmuhairi324]

Great to see you back online :)

[@djmjr77]

Havent even watched yet, but WHOO HOO been waiting for this episode !!!

[@davidb7328]

I just wanted to say that I love this channel. Looking forward to seeing your weekly content and the upcoming winter project. :)

[@chamberizer]

My old 1963 Fiberglass boat has a slight curvature built/molded into the transom. I believe this is to make it stronger when pushed by engine? About ten years ago a friend helped me put some new wood in the transom: We dug out the wood that was rotted from the top & two areas on the inside near the bottom. The wood in the center was mostly good, due to engine mounting keeping it tight. We fitted new pieces of wood in layers. I made cardboard templates to help size new wood pieces. We coated the wood with West System Epoxy. We drilled holes thru the transom & used threaded rod with fender washers & nuts to squeeze the transom together. The threaded rod & washers were coated with Pam cooking spray, so they would not stick. We used a very long drill bit & drilled holes from the top to a reasonable depth into the new wood. We pumped epoxy into these holes using a syringe to saturate the transom with epoxy. Once the threaded rods were removed, we filled the holes with epoxy & fiberglass fill using a syringe. We then laid new fiberglass sheet & epoxy over the transom inside & out. Anyway, I am just relying on my memory, but it was something like this we did. I call West Systems & they told me the trick with the Pam spray. I noticed some KZbin's recently, where they dig out the old wood from the top & pour a mixture into the cavity. I think it was called Seacrest?

[@royconde3176]

Hey Andy you've definitely got my curiosity wet just waiting for the next project, great job on this one.

[@Memo_Sagun]

Let's say WELCOME back Andy, and i wish you a fast recover during your shoulder treatment. And again wish you the best for Boatworks Today.

[@solwong1338]

Great to see you dedicating more time to KZbin content. You're a great educator. Wishing you all the best and much success.

[@beastlyendeavour9184]

Learning alot in a short amount of time.

[@erichoverson4838]

Awesome vid Andy...as always. So glad to hear you are going full time video!

[@DutchBoatGuy]

Your video’s are Amazing!

[@love2cad]

Well done, sir!! I look forward to seeing and learning more. I will be tackling my boat in the coming year.

[@dirtroadsailing6418]

I always look forward to Sail Life videos on Sundays and now with you doing weekly videos it's going to twice as good!

[@jamesrahn8339]

This and all your videos are GOLD!

[@tonyorabona594]

Really Appreciate your artistry.

[@cybersylo5786]

Your OCD is on point. Good job sir.

[@michellafrance7216]

Thanks for being back online Andy!

[@daverhodes7235]

Great to see you, Andy! Thanks for the education. I can’t relate the wealth of information that I’ve learned from you. With your direction I’ve been able to complete my project quicker and with less $.

[@jeffkatzer]

Beautiful work.

[@kennethfrevola4819]

Awesome videos can't wait for the Bertram, I have a 25 and need to do my cockpit decks over.👍

[@jaysparc]

Just became a patron -- Thanks Andy for all your help.

[@Tylerdesignforcomposites]

Awesome Video Mate

[@AJ-hm5ck]

Andy.... I love your programing....keep up the great work

[@fsj197811]

I liked the sound clip of Sam, and yes, I do remember. Thanks for sharing the video and your time to make it. :-)

[@michaelnowak993]

GREAT JOB GREAT VIDEO!!!!!

[@josephshultz6726]

really beautiful work

[@jprism1]

So glad your back :)

[@professormoptop]

ANDY, stoked to see the weekly videos, just tuned on the notifications. now if you can upload just after Mads on Sunday that would be AMAZING

[@UweBehrendt]

thanks looking forward to this series

[@kevingaumond5868]

Total boat fairing all the way

[@kelvinham8576]

Very professional job.

[@tlcafj60]

Congratulations on finally getting this wrapped up! That was a pretty big job.

[@markfrick6244]

You have no idea how awesome it is to have You back, now my triangle of knowledge (Boatworks Today, Sail Life and Sailing Uma) is whole once again! Welcome back Andy! Excited to see what you have lined up. When I first started doing my restore, I began with US Composites, making my own fairing and ran in to numerous issues with sags and pin holes. I switch to Total Boat Total Fair and will never look back unless I am doing a very large FLAT surface.

[@charlesbalfour6544]

Great job !!

[@justinwest7655]

Thank you for taking time to show us boat lovers how to make repairs or just watching for entertainment. As a boston whaler owner i respect the skill and trade you have.

[@pauljohnson2372]

I've got an old gheenoe that needs a new transom. Thanks for your videos

[@ollyit]

Well done mate from the UK, Olly

[@davidjeromedawson]

Looks good as new.

[@albertojosealtermattdurrut4176]

Those are really good news, really looking forward to the new uploading schedule

[@stephanszymanski9348]

Congrats great to hear you’ll be doing more vids ! I’ve been really interested in building a stitch and glue boat from bateau! Between the fs17 and classic open 17 models. Real stoked to see your runabout project that’s exactly what I’m thinking of!

[@PBR6927]

Totally agree on the Total Fair. Easy on, easy sanding and no pin holes! Great stuff.

[@jacknimble1]

I have had great results with a lot of their name branded stuff and free quick shipping too. They also have real techs that seem super knowledgeable on the phone.

[@MadPropsMakes]

Looks awesome as always Andy! Next project looks like its gonna be cool too! Can't wait for regular videos from you! I really need to get a shop, cold weathers moved in here, and now I can barely shoot any video on my restoration.

[@dannyruiz4090]

You are a master of your craft sir.

[@terrymagnusson3064]

I watches this series to help me rebuild my vintage 1960 Seafair transom , thanks for the help

[@tedjackson5272]

I live about 20 miles away from Jamestown Distributors. Great place, good people.

[@mylesoneill3803]

Nice work brother

[@kilton2]

Thank you for all the product information will buy with for my rebuild. I will check out Jamestown distributor.

[@brcc6535]

Next level.... awesome job

[@bennyg949]

So fricken amazing.

[@chrislangdell117]

Nice would have been cool to see the other parts of this project. Nice work. The new fairing compound looks promising.

[@maurol.3731]

Definitely the best channel of works on boats ... 👏

[@chrish2996]

Hi Andy. So glad you changed to Total Boat, better product, easier working time, no pinholes. Jamestown Total Boat are now a sponsor and 170k subscribers 😀 Amazing channel, many thanks. Ps do the Bertram transom 1st.

[@geneberry7114]

Andy, I love the little girls closing line, I hope you never change it. : )

[@lydiaajohnson]

I can't wait for more frequent videos Andy. Thanks for all you teach us. Hey, get Mads to to visit Boat Works Today sometime when he's in the States.

[@mhays2827]

Thanks for the hint about adding 406 with the 410 when fairing something vertical. I had been struggling with 410 sagging. Thank you for such a wonderful KZbin channel. I have learned so much from watching your videos.

[@RenegadeADV]

She turned out nice! Glad to see you are getting into video full time! Really looking forward to the new project! I will probably be picking your brain in a couple of months when I get into restoring my Spencer 42-2, have some 52 year old gel coat to bring back to life! I have learned so much watching your videos already, really excited to see you are going full time!

[@ryanbertoldi8303]

Glad to see you switched to the Total product line, it seems that it's working out best for everyone else that's made the switch as well!

[@andyd2801]

Watching this 2 years on Andy as I have a transom to replace too. Looked for good no fuss advice for a while now. Just found it, thanks for your detail!!!👌🏻

[@georgebetar923]

Great video, as usual...

[@catsupchutney]

As a DIY-er it is so intimidating to watch a meticulous pro at work. Excellent results and a joy to watch!

[@Bakkasura]

Best channel out there, been watching these videos over and over while I’m trying to restore a little Dixie Malibu

[@crashlife487]

Thanks for the video, had I not seen this video I wouldn’t have known that epoxy filler even exists! I’m about to undertake a similar project in my dad’s 1985 trihull boat.

[@shanebeaudrot777]

This is mind numbing addictive! Or maybe I just really enjoy boat repair. Working with your hands and turning out a perfect project is satisfying.

[@vincecappello2202]

Great video!!! Can’t wait for the next

[@randypopperwell2183]

nice job on this boat

[@GS-qx6cn]

Interesting, humorous, informative, skilled, attentive to detail - you continue to set the bar high! And, it's always good to see a project end. I mean, there must have been 15 or 20 sandings - your patience is ridiculous! Also, appreciate your candor as well on the different products. Great job!

[@MvB8587]

Andy is bloody handy. Best videos and advice on boat repair... Dam pin holes. Flearing Sanding my 146 haineshunter cabin converted to cconcole. After the abuse and dodgy repairs from past owner (filled transum up with sisaflx then covered in bog under ally angle edge... And every time I watch your are splitting image of a old friend of mine.. From western Australia... Cheers

[@dobie2times]

You have given me the desire to repair an old boat in my possession. It is a small motor boat with soft transom and floor. Probably cost more than the boat is worth but it would be a great project with your help!

[@gagmewithaspoon]

Awesome Andy, so glad you are taking this full time... Benoit... (changed account)

[@kenpendergraft8997]

Andy, Loved the Yosemite Sam sound clip!!!!

[@harshclimate]

I'm in no way a boat person, and I'm only just now getting to learn my way around fiberglass related projects for my car :o I subscribed to your channel because you're obviously someone who very much cares about quality. I look forward to learning more about your fiberglass work and all of the boats you work on! Pretty cool!

[@lancehenthorn17]

I'm glad you mentioned the use of a sanding board. You might want to try a air powered sanding board. There a lot easier to level out a area then a 6" DA sander. One way to keep from getting pin holes is to vacuum bag the area. A little more work but can be worth it.

[@SailingSarah]

Great work! ❤️🌹

[@georgevantuyl5837]

I wish I had Total Fair when I built my Mahogany Drift boat. I am a student of your marvelous work. Thank you

[@richconolly5119]

Andy. I absolutely love your channel. I've sent you an email through your website for some advice. I've learned a TON watching your channel

[@Cyranose1]

Great work! Interesting Louis at "Tips from a Shipwright" has been a Total Fair advocate for sometime - now with your good review once done with my West shall give it a try!

[@southjerseysound7340]

I'm by no means saying anything bad about Louis,but he's sponsored by James town. I've dealt with him before and while his show is sponsored by them,he wouldn't be part of it if he wasn't 110% behind their products. Also James town is a great company to deal with as is West Systems. I deal with both but if it's a really technical/structural issue West systems is my go to and for others it's usually James town.

[@hillbillydualsport]

Got to see you back!

[@travis8404]

nice job wish i had your skills you do great work

[@jackrichards1863]

Hey I just binged the whole job on this and now remember that it was worthy of thumb up on each segment. I omitted that task in my enthusiasm to digest the next portion of work. The information this all provided was a reasonable education and the finish is evidence of the solid product you applied. But if thats a cop boat how the he** did they get their boat into that state? That must have been some adventure?

[@synergylabs216]

Hey Andy, Andy here again. you answered my question from previous video in the first 1 minute and 15 seconds of this video. much appreciated. keep up the good work. i have a 25' grady white offshore pro. gonna do some fun upgrades. built in baitwell, new dash and control center. repairs. ect. thank you for doing this. i wouldn't know where to start without you!. thanks again, Andy Raoufi Synergy Tek

[@freeslave8824]

I thought I was a meticulous perfectionist... then I watch this guy, and suddenly I feel like a neanderthal! Amazing work!

[@duvielhidalgo9914]

Very good job awesome
