Great footage of this resto of a serious classic boat, now improved to what looks like perfection. Congrats and keep all your fab videos coming.

very impressive thinking doing my Bayliner 1802 like that.

Great job mate

That is one of the biggest advantages fibreglass has over alloy.

This is mint 👌

Haha, KZbin recommended this video, we live in the same town, see you out on the water 👍🏼👍🏼 p.s, feel free to share your snapper spot 😂😂😂

[@jb243wp]

Wow, pretty impressive work. the editing and music are great too. The old transom you cut out appeared to be still in good condition, was that the original transom or had it been done before? Be interested to know if you decided to put trim tabs on it, couldn't quite make it out. Also noticed but couldn't quite see, you'll probably need to upgrade the trailer braking system now, the old cable system and no break-away may potentially not be legal 😞

[@caseyspinks9810]

Hi mate. Yes original transom was still intact, not bad for a 34 year old Haines. No trim tabs, a fat deckie does the trick😂 yes, correct on the trailer, I extended the original as a temporary measure as I don’t tow far. One day an upgrade is in order. Thanks for your comments👍

@casey who made the aluminium hardtop? Looks good

[@caseyspinks9810]

Hi Joe, thanks for the comment. I made the hardtop myself in alloy mate. Cheers

[@zapbranigan2421]

Do you have any more photo's or video of the mould? Would live to see how ypu did the chines, cheers!

[@caseyspinks9810]

Gday, don’t have any more photos sorry, we just folded some colorbond and zinc sheet up in several pieces same as keel and strakes and riveted together. Was nothing special and had some timber straight edges screwed under hull to ensure it was straight. Cheers

[@binks7988]

Great resto. Wanna sell it haha !

[@caseyspinks9810]

Thanks, but no. I love it 👍

[@HarlemArthur]

Hi Casey, what was the layup of this?

[@caseyspinks9810]

Hi mate, not too sure, you’d have to ask my fibreglasser Paul, his number is at the end of the video👍

[@nickrdgz9323]

What would something like that cost? Looks great!!!

[@caseyspinks9810]

A lot

[@bleachKing97]

Can we get a estimate if someone was looking to this 👌👌 great video

[@caseyspinks9810]

Can’t go past a north bank Casey, but nice work mate

[@caseyspinks9810]

Maybe, but for what this owes me is probably half that of the equivalent in a North Bank so I’m happy
