1988 seacraft rebuild

[No grave but the Seacraft]

I couldn't find the color gelcoat i was looking for. I wanted a really light almost white blue. I wound up mixing equal parts FGCI ice blue with their ultra white. I added that mix in a 1:1 ratio of duratec high gloss additive. After spraying to the desired thickness I sanded and sanded and sanded and... you get the idea. In the right light and angle you can see the hint of blue.

Looking good. I’m excited to see your plans come together.

The trailer was in pretty good shape and I could have just replaced the springs and repacked the bearings but since I had the boat off of it I just couldn't help myself. I ordered two new 3500# torsion axles and a set of stainless disc brakes and actuator. It got four new wheels and tires along with new lights and bunk carpet.

I've been working on this project for a couple of months before joining the community so I had a stockpile of photos to upload but this post will bring it up to date. I used two layers of 3/4" 26# Coosa with a layer of 1700 biaxial glass between them for the stringer extension/outboard bracket. I'm using epoxy resin for the entire build so didn't bother with 1708 glass. I will be using the same combination for the transom but will have three layers for the actual motor mount. I will have a longitudinal support "shelf" glassed on the inside of the transom on top of the stringers. The plywood is just for my templates and to use for nesting on the sheets of coosa. Can't afford any waste. I have yet to cut down the freeboard out of fear but maybe in the next few days.
