Ok, making fiberglass dust again.
This project is back on the docket. Here's the game plan:
- finish removing the old deck
- make a new closed transom
- make/buy an engine bracket
- raise the decks
- make a new doghouse
- make a new leaning post
- recore the topcap
- paint the whole thing
- buy a new motor, ff/gps, and steering.
- Most important: pop up up and down bowlight.
(- figure out how to post photos on here...)
MATERIALS
- I built a Tolman skiff 10 years ago, and redid it from the stringers up two years ago; no-blush epoxy over 10oz cloth and AC ply is my preferred material.
- Getthenet/shirmpin' convinced me to mold some stuff out of vinyl/1708
- I was undecided on paint, but since I love putting the cart before the horse, I went ahead and bought a gallon of Awlgrip on sale for$200 from westmarine. I guess that means I have to be painting within a year. Might try latex porch paint for no skid.
