Man where were you 4 years ago lol, i had the same boat that needed fiberglass patch work, that i gave up on and donated to a school to be used as a sand box. This looks like an interesting project!

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

[@besearchingforwisdom6267]

Mine is a '71 13' also, I hope to use it as a shore boat after I get it done, but I think I'll use it for awhile first and watch your progress...

YOU GOT A BOAT

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

yes !!!😀

[@aaronadams9509]

Looking forward to seeing the progress. Are you going to epoxy the hull or gel coat? Im doing my 63' whaler and im on the fence to go polyester or epoxy. What fairing compound are you going to use?

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

Plan on gell coat

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

I should have the next episode. Up soon. It has been so hot i havent been able to work on it.

[@WILSON.1]

Nice work. Looking forward to seeing video 2. Do you plan to post videos on this monthly?

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

i will post whenever i have enough footage. it has been so hot and rainy the past month i can hardly get anything done on it.

Rubrail kit for a 13' Classic is $275 +tax and shipping. Dont use screws. Rivets are best. And get a heat gun.

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

Thank you

[@vilmospuskas1892]

if the foam is wet, in what way can it be dry?

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

I honestly have no idea. Luckily mine was dry as a bone. I have seen several people cut out the floor and dig it all out re foam. I have also wondered if a vacuum pump would work wrap the whole boat in a vacume bag and pump it down for a few days but that would be an experiment .

@@StoneBrokeAdventure thank you

Redoing a 13 now have 55 Suzuki going on it

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

holly cow. are you glassing on some airplane wings so when it takes off it is stable in flight 😂

[@Whalermansteve84]

Save yourself some time , find someone who can soda blast the paint off. I redone my 1966 13 whaler and I must have used about 300 pieces id sandpaper

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

To late but thank you for the tip

[@ricladouceur6202]

Looks like someone used it as a plant holder.

[@StoneBrokeAdventure]

It sat under the oak trees for several years and looked rough. I was a little overwhelmed at first but its coming along nicely
