I've gotten some e-mails with questions, so let me answer them here.
First off, the boat is in Ct.
The damage to the bottom first happened a couple years ago. As I was running along in a slight chop, I clipped a log or something. This exposed a delaminated section of the boat, and the force of the water peeled it back.Aside from the thump, I couldn't even tell until I got it back on the trailer.
So I took it to Norwalk cove and they gave me an estimate of $1200.00 as I recall. But, they were to booked to do it, so I did it myself.Now, a couple years later, my repair is delaminating. It didn't exactly rip off like last time, but one edge is torn off.
In retrospect, I think I either didn't prep it properly, or more likely I didn't wet it out enough. I was working alone, and it's a long piece, so I was rushing a bit too.
Anyway - I am either going to sell it , or shelve it until I get my other projects done.
I'll try to get pics of the bottom as it is now, but it's hard to show.
I can post this pic I took when I was doing it a couple years ago, but for some reason my pics aren't showing, we'll see. It wasn't that tough to do, but of course, I didn't do it very well.
Towboat - Can you see the other pics yet?
If anyone wants to call 203-265-8242.
