Back in action well...sanding glassing
 

So you thought you were going to see another finished boat
Need to finish tabbing under side of gunwales and floors to stringers u know the fun upside down stuff trying to decide to pull trigger on colors thinkin sea foam or Aqua mist with cream nonskid areas

That's a lot of glass work. Looking good.

You're are now obligated to post more pictures...part of the deal :)

More glass then u can ever imagine. For one person to attempt in a year of free time

Yes your obligated to get them one at a time because iPhones apparently have Hubble telescope capacities😳. I'm curious why we love to hate this itchy hobby so much for a badass boat.

Got my other 21 done and for sale. So I can finish this one and repower it with a 300???on a twin bracket

digging on the integrated t-top !

Now that's impressive!

nice job, how do you plan on treating under the transom cap to cockpit transition? solid with scupper tubes through? looks like some storage space is available

Scuppers
 

The floors have channels on the sides of the crowned deck that lead through transom into scuppers no tubes just thickness of transom which is 2 1" blue water 26 panels in multi layers and tabbing. the floors were raised crowned and all one level from where the old floor was as far as transom transition to cockpit not really sure if it will just have a single rig tube and then finish it like it is or cover it up. But everything is planned to run through bracket like hermco rig theirs instead of through transom. Under the floors is a Shiite load of storage as the stringers where redesigned with 2" nidacore

Weekend progress
 

Got rod holders on ttop tabbed in place and two more biax "last" on transom
And more leveling

Thread moving to "Repairs/Mods". Nice work Frank!

What a phenomenal project! I've been toying with the idea of a top like that with glass tubes but had figured itd be too much sanding. Looks like that is not a concern for you! I cannot wait to see this finished.

Painting may just happen
 

Finally got a week to just focus on getting her done sanding sanding glassing smoothing over and over picked out colors and got it on the bracket went with bp mothane and mopoxy primer more to come

And for color on bracket
 

Aqua mist mothane

Front primer on top
 

Front

Transom primed
 

More paint prep and smoothing

Sides
 

Hopefully get another coat primer and paint on sides and transom

Hard to believe
 

It started as a skeleton in 9/2014 the "itch"

Wow !

Thanks
 

Got some paint on her transom and hull sides after a week of fairing and blocking

great work,keep posting

Bracket on
 

A couple more sanding discs later

Bracket off,on
 

More sanding and 25 rod holders on "the plank"

Side profile
 

Need more fairing but getting there

Half tower
 

Finally getting to some detail stuff

Progress.... I guess
 

I'm fully over sanding I need new shoulders. I haven't had lots of time to display a million pictures and explanation of work but heres some pics of prgress

Reshape and smooting
 

Lots more fairing and sanding

this is the coolest seacraft restoration I've seen so far. Awesome work can't wait to see more.

Back side
 

Hoping to perm mount bracket soon

Truly awsome-- on the shoulders remember to ice them after the work out don't ask

That is a fishing machine bet the rod holders alone are in the high $$. What power is going to be on the bracket?

Looking for 300
 

Should be able to find used 300 Suzuki
Anyone let me know otherwise
Total of 48 rod holders 24 are stainless on gunnels got a deal at boat
Swap pompano 11$ a piece
The rest of rod holders are pvc wraped in glass

Different design livewell
 

Decided to go more with a tooth look to livewell see thrus
As opposed to three circles

Fit and finish of front floor-hatch and gas tank hatch
 

More sanding and runs to glue products

Tool arsenal
 

This is picture of about half my grinding sanders and saws plan on having all of these tools out every time u work on ur boat or at least on full redo, mod, or part build oh by the way these tools are the second set that are almost ready to explode almost every single one

Primer on the top
 

Well just for record 20 mph winds and glassin don't mix but if u hold sprayer close enough it will work for priming

Primer
 

Primer five days no rain spray spray spray

More primer
 

Wish u could put it on 1/4 wouldn't that be nice

Prime
