Boondoggle build 75 inboard

Wow, thats a rebuild! Im curious as to who you bought this boat from as I thought I knew most of the local boats, especially inboards. Now Im wondering if it isnt a sister of mine from the Police force? Keep the photos coming!

How difficult was it getting that liner separated from the hull and out in one piece? I could see that being a challenge, especially if it were bonded together well around the perimeter.

It was kind of tough to get out. I used wedges that were 3 to 5 feet long and were 6’’ tall. I spend a few day looking at every seacraft inboard model they made. I found this one build and looked at were the potter putty was. You can see the bow of the boat was cut. I had to send the wedge down the bow to separate the two. Also there was putty between the well and keel which my well got broken but i fixed that.

Nice effort with the liner. Really looking forward to following this. Not far up the road from you on the South Shore if you ever need another set of hands. Keep the pictures coming.

Great work! For what it’s worth I broke the forward well in mine and thought it was easier at the time for me to cut it out and make mold for a new one thou slightly smaller as it gave me a chance to put 1” foam all around it . Forgot to drain it one August ice had melted but still had cold water the next sat. If you can put some foam around yours it really helped!

So i made some head way the past weekend. I got the transom all glassed in.in total there is 4 layers of 1.5 oz mat and 3 layers of 22 oz Triaxal fiberglass. The green around the core is core bond i used it to help the radius not so tight. I used the white tape to help keep the core clean and easy clean up. Also made the scupper block out of divinycell foam for the rear. Will install them later i still don’t know if i want the scuppers to exit the floor or the rear. I did foam in the stringers but i ordered and the wrong weight. I did 2 lbs and it should of been 4 lb foam. So this weekend i will be digging it out and cleaning the edges up around the transom

The name of the boat was THE JORDAN LEE It was owned by John Stommel. He lived off Indian river road and owned a flooring company. He said the 454 has about 600 hours on so on it and he had it installed in 1993 which i do have the receipt. In was mostly kept in a barn it whole life. But that is what I’m told so i can only take it with a grain of salt unless you know more.
