Unreal, your relentless spirit and work ethic.

[@ericoxford7069]

Thank you for sharing this experience with us. I have been wanting to buy a boat similar to this for fun with the family out on the lake in the summer time. I'm sorry that you've had to go through this experience but it has really helped me with knowing what to watch out for when buying a boat. Thanks for the videos!! I've been binge watching for the last two hours.

[@mikeandbarbthomas]

watching your vids gave me the courage to tackle my own gimble bearing replacment and bellows..... great very good info thanks bro

[@jsmith294]

Thanks for the excellent videos, Frisco. I'm rehabbing a 1975 Boston Whaler Montauk, and I'm learning a lot.

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

+jsmith294 Glad I could help

[@jessehart05]

your videos are really gonna help when I do this to my Elinminator daycruiser. Thanks in advance.

[@WCTarheel]

It's seven years after the fact, but I just found your videos a couple of days ago and have been binge watching a couple at a time. You're as good as Netflix. I am impressed with your skills and your willingness to tackle big projects that would scare off most people. I'd even venture to say that some people would just scrap the boat if they faced these issues. I'm just wondering if you ever heard back from the seller and did he return a good percentage of what you paid. If you had all this work done by a boat-builder, I think you'd be looking at a minimum of $10,000. I tempted to skip to the last video, but I don't want to miss the meat of the project. I hope it turned out to your satisfaction. I know when the time comes to sell it, the next guy is going to get a better than new Sea-Ray.

Thank you for taking the time to share this video

[@toonrunedudehobby]

Sorry about your injuries man, thats not fun. Glad you're still pushing through, keep it up!

[@Johnhealey-]

Just a tip when using resin and glass. Put a cheap plastic tarp in the floor and wrap your shoes in cheap cheese cloth. Saves the floor and shoes.

[@hyphygoesglobal]

washer and a nut actually, love the dynamics

[@middleagedgrump]

Great videos, very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make them. Was wondering if you had a video showing how to fiberglass an area where 3 flat plains come together to form a point? Both a protruding point such as where a vessel's free board meets the underside along the transom and a depressed point such as where the deck meets the side of the hull on the interior side of the transom. I hope that makes sense. Appreciate it.

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

@upallnight888 I have done that before and it did not get me the same results. Plus with the chop strand that I had in the mix it wanted to drag huge troughs in the mix when spreading it. It does not spread like PL does.

[@shannonacuna5627]

great job! haters gonna hate.

[@copperheadmarine]

Ya'll got more "dinner plans" than anyone i've ever known?

[@Travizzlee]

Hell yea man. This helped alot!

[@richardwolske2015]

This guys good !😎

[@surfpalmcoast4450]

excellent information .. thanks

[@oldemargarcia6878]

Hola amigo usted tendra algun video donde cambie de inboard a outboard ? Gracias saludos eeswe Panamá

[@upallnight888]

I would have used a notched trowel so that you could raise the adhesive and let the transon push the "peanut butter" into the notched area, similar to setting tiles.

[@johnjankowiak3335]

I have a 23ft 99 thompson with a spongy spot in the floor. OH SHIT!

[@ColonelK0rn1]

Yay for Clear Cote! I've been watching your videos and was wondering what brand you used, but in this video you showed it. I have had great results with their poly and waxed gelcote as well.

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

@TheVectensis Thickend resin. There is a video on my channel about how to make it. It is also called peanut butter.

[@Speakrdude]

Looks great! Don't ya wish the factories put these together with as much care? Jim

[@JimmyLeeBands]

Can you use fiber cloth and resin instead of the fiber pieces/mixture ? Thanks

[@JimmyLeeBands]

I guess what I'm asking is does it have to be chop, or can you use layers of cloth ?? wathing Vlog #17, right now, its amazing what you've done

[@1Calusa]

Hey Frisco - excellent videos! Tell me, at 8:20 what two things did you mix into the resin?

[@christopherjames4632]

I would like to know if it was tge hardner aswell

[@thebrethren924]

Where do you get your polyester resin and 1708 from. Thanks Nelson.

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

@worbs93 It is similar. Go to boats.com and hit the restoration section. They have tones of builds with OBs that could give you more direction.

[@CrazyLegsFE]

Jay! Quick question is the peanut butter just ressin 3/4 mix with chopped fibers? I watched all of your boat videos and I can't seem to find the exact formula you use for the butter.

[@devbldg]

Great skill and attitude congrats. However, why are you not using marine grade plywood and for other woods why not oak or rot resistant cedar or yellow pine vs soft woods which are not as strong or not as rot resistant ??

[@bobshaw6576]

building

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

@TheVectensis Yes. That is my nickname for it.

[@MadSmokerBBQ]

Oh I like it better that way. Using it. People will be like hey you know FriscoJarretts !

[@terrulian]

Great videos. It appears you are using exterior plywood. Given the trouble you're going to and considering the rot you're getting rid of, why not spring for Meranti or the equivalent?

[@tedschmitt178]

Why not aluminum?

[@goodcitizen4602]

Why not use 24 carat gold?

[@sparklesnshine4697]

Hey, what would happen if the transom didn't fit tightly? And how to fix this?

[@songsfromatir]

Hey Im goin to start the restoration on my boat it looks just as bad and the boat you were working on. I really need to know the names of the products that I will need so can you provide the names so I can ask for it when I purchase it from the store. thanks

[@26yellowfin]

What kind of fiberglass with bond?

[@housearrestband]

Great video sorry about the accident,,the only thing I would suggest for the future is you should try not to say ahh and umm so much.( .# 1 rule of broadcasting ) just a thought ..thanks for posting this learned alot ..

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

[@christopherjames4632]

I would like to now if it the hardner aswell

[@rickt1866]

[@MadSmokerBBQ]

Funny I've never heard it pronounced "mare-CRUISER" I always said it as MER-cruiser in my mind. Guess I've never heard anyone say it!

[@DelSolUnlimited]

Why use wood. It’s just gonna rot again?!?!

[@ChrisS-ez3mu]
