Parker Boat Rebuilding Nightmare: Part 6

Sorry for the long wait times. This series is not over yet!

You are doing a great job, don't compromise, get as much of the plywood out as you can. Sanding really does suck, tyvek suits are great but with the heat down there forgetaboutit. When youre done that parker will be indestructible, looking forward to the next installment. Keep up the great work. Stay safe and Healthy, Jay

Great watching as usual, feeling for you with that heat not the best conditions to be working in but at least you know that when you’re done it’s been done good and strong……way to go

These repairs will be 1000x stronger and last longer then what was done in the factory. Great work! its sad that Parkers quality under the deck is literally trash! and they are wanting 2x what their boats are worth.

No need for resparation equipment. Brain damage has already occured..But nice job! Essa

What kind of resin are you using, and how much catalyst are you using? It seems like it would be tough to have any working time with that heat. Very impressive work. For anyone watching, this fiberglass work is much more difficult than he’s making it look.

I am using vinyl ester resin. I am using 15cc of hardner per 32 oz of resin. Vinyl ester requires quite a bit more hardner than poly ester does. It actually called for around 20cc per 32 oz. That was way to much for the heat. Thanks for watching!

There is no boat worth all this effort. Unless the boat could talk and we can be friends.. But other than that i know you will never do something like this again . I get it once you started you have to finish on principals but daamn

As I sit here and say never again, I am looking at a flats boat that I have had over 20 years. It keeps crying for me to love it again. Uhhh
