[macojoe]

And were off!! ;)

[garagenc]

Man you wore that deck out in nothing flat 8) 8)

I noticed that deck didn't have individual wood blocks fiberglassed to the underside.

Also how are you going to replace it?

[THEFERMANATOR]

Might I ask why you chose to cut it out rather than seperate the cap and hull? I ask because mine needs a new floor and transom and I thought it would be easier to just seperate the two rather than section it out.

[Shawsee]

All I can say is wow Skools! I doubt I could ever attempt the projects you have taken on. My hat is off to you.

[Skools Out]

to much work to remove the cap my V has a solid new transom, and by the way it had the blocks under the floor i just finished taking them off more pics tomorrow, i'm going to remove the extra tank inthe boat it has a 60 gal and an added 25 gal, i'm taking out the 25 and going to add foam to the hull in all the voids to add floation.

[reelapeelin]

Woulda SWORE that floor-deck would be a lil' beefier than what's layin' on the ground :) ...nothin' between that and stringer?...


Strap in boys...this'll be fun to watch...somebody plug in the popcorn popper ;) ...

[Skools Out]

same thoughts Reel the floor was 1/2 inch reg plywood scrap blocks but i'm replacing with same wood i used in the floor hatch for my 21. i'm using 3/4 13 ply marine wood ;D she'll be strong as hell when this floor is completed and i want to add a few stringers to solid up some areas.

[parishht]

Strap in boys...this'll be fun to watch...somebody plug in the popcorn popper ;) ...


This is gonna be better than Netflix.

[reelapeelin]

Possibly rival W.E.T. ;) ...

[willy]

Come on now, get real Ozzie ;D

[Skools Out]

Willy i may have super models working on it in pics ;D

[reelapeelin]

Willy i may have super models working on it in pics ;D



In that case it'll outrun W.E.T. 8) ...

[frayed_knot]

Hey Skools, ya need some resin? ;D

[willy]

OK Skools, in that case bring it on ;D

[Skools Out]

Hey Skools, ya need some resin? *;D


lol well i still have about 3 gallons lol how much do you have still lol

[Skools Out]

here's the junk wood removed that Wellcraft used

[bradford]

I've heard they used small squares of ply wood, but damm! *Why would they do that instead of just one or two big sheets?

[C YENSEN]

dam, makes me want to NEVER fix my floor, not that there is anything wrong with it. :-/

[C YENSEN]

I would like to start the bidding at $3500 ::) ;D

[Skools Out]

you can almost buy it for that once i'm finished ;D

[THEFERMANATOR]

you can almost buy it for that once i'm finished *;D
Engine or boat?

[Stillrunning]

Might I ask why you chose to cut it out rather than seperate the cap and hull? I ask because mine needs a new floor and transom and I thought it would be easier to just seperate the two rather than section it out.
If you have that much repair work it would be much easier to take the boat apart. That what I did.

[Stillrunning]

I've never seen one with the engine mounted in the splash well.

[Skools Out]

lol new location for outboards lol mine only needed a floor so no need to go to the trouble of the cap removal, i hope to ask $5000 for the boat turn key when finished, depends on how much it takes to get right.

[Blue_Runner]

Skools, awesome man...I'll be there this evening after work - what kinda beer you drink? ;D

[msbhammer]

Lookin Good SKOOL. Dont forget those custom Port holes now. ;D

Can't wait to see finished "V" 8) ...

[Skools Out]

sorry guys i only marked the stringers on the floor today soi can lay out the wood floor to it's strongest way ;D ;D

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/WellCraft/MVC-005S-1.jpg

[msbhammer]

SKOOL, you whats the next step on the floor. Will you cut pieces of plywood to fit the shape of the floor skin, then resin each piece to the deck.

Keep going, dont stop. ;)

[reelapeelin]

Skools...looks like a smaller tank forward of the main ... whazzat ??? ...



When ya put new floor back in, do ya put a lip under the outter edge to catch?...

[Stillrunning]

What is the deal with WellCraft and these little 6x6 pieces of wood they use. The only thing I could think of is they have a slight gap between them and the resin runs between them. If one gets water in it the others have a little protection from the resin between them. By changing to 3/4 wood won't that make it a little tougher to complete the flooring.

[msbhammer]

Well.....is it done yet SKOOL. ;D
Where's the Pics. Bro. Dont wanna hear no excuse's that you were sleeping. You never Sleep. ;D ;D

[macojoe]

These old guys never read!! Just look at the pictures!!

i'm going to remove the extra tank inthe boat it has a 60 gal and an added 25 gal, i'm taking out the 25 and going to add foam to the hull in all the voids to add floation

[reelapeelin]

Alright, alright...I missed it, but yer the pot callin' the kettle black :-* ...

[Skools Out]

since i'm working on the 230 Sea Ox, so the V is on a temp hold, but almost done with the 230C, well the 1/2 to 3/4 will be fine i'm filling the gap around the edge and will make a channel on the sides to run the water off the deck. i may curve the floor to run the water to the sides too.

Sounds like your getting fancy. You could name the boat
"Schools Fancy" "V Fancy" or "Well Fancy"

[Skools Out]

yeah i like to put my own twist in my projects did you see the dash upgrade in the 21 project ;D

[Stillrunning]

Not sure if I did or not but I'll check it out.

Whats up with that large hole in the plash well with the raised lip. Was that a factory ??? or a custom job to get access to the batteries ??
Looking good though. Have a jelly donut on me. 8)

[Skools Out]

[Skools Out]

sorry guys no work today maybe tomorrow.

[reelapeelin]

I tell you like I tell my wife...keep goin, baby!!...don't stop now ;D ;D ;D ...

[C YENSEN]

looks great man, wanna come redo mine??? ;D

[Skools Out]

lol i'll lt you know after i get this one completed

[C YENSEN]

what kinda motor you gonna put on that thing???

i may seriously be interested :-/ ;)

[Stillrunning]

I love it. I see you keep everything neat and in order as your doing a project just like I do. I can tear up the garage just replacing the spark plugs. Me in a buddy spent all this time checking and lining up the place to install out rigger holders. We finally made the cut and while drinking a beer started looking for the holder that we had just had in our hands. After about an hour of looking and a few more beers I went into the house to take a leak and there they sat right beside the toilet.

[Skools Out]

LOL yeah that's me last night i was looking for my 1/2 impact and took an hour to find the worst part it was in the case in the drawer right where it belonged i just didn't see it after looking 3 times i found it lol.

I'm installing my favorite lol a 225 Johnson 25" shaft, not sure what yr yet since i have several to choose from it will be which ever one i get to first lol. I thought about a single Johnson 140 perhaps as well ??? what ya think about a 140?

[msbhammer]

LOL, funny as hell STILLRUNNING. ;D

From a 225 to a 140 thats a big swing in HP. I have a 150 Johnson which pushes my v 20cc around very good and tops out around 45mph. Is the 140 a 4 or 6cyl?

[bradford]

I wish i had a choice between the 140 and 225! *I'd run the 140 and experiment with different props, it should do fine.

Heck, if you're gonna sell it, give the buyer the option!

[spareparts]

if that 140 is the big looper 4 cyl, then it will probably push that boat pretty good. the only problem I had with teh loopers is idle quality, ended up taking that plastic i9dle speed screw all the way out on my old 120 looper, the 140 should have adjustable idle mixture scews so it won't be such an issue

[Skools Out]

4 cylinder big bore looper they are all 1990's i have 4 of them. they are the exact same as a 120 only the intake and jets are different.

[Stillrunning]

My father-in-law has an Evenrude 112 and it pushes his 20 sea pro pretty good but man it sounds like crap. It sounds like a sewing maching.

[msbhammer]

Skool, when you redid the transom, did yu replace it from the inside or outside. *???

Looked at the earlier pics of you removing the floor.
Ok, you have a top skin of flooring, then wood, then another bottom layer of glass. I noticed that you laid it back into the V after yanking all the rotted wood in.
So my question is...do you glass in the bottom layer to the stringers ?...how do you secure it ?? or after you wet in the new wood, the top deck will be the only thing securing it ??

[Skools Out]

you throw that bottom layer away ijustlayed it inthe boat to have something to walk on

[Skools Out]

sorry guys only worked on the boat today for about 3 1/2 hours but here's what got done.

Holes that i had ground i filled with glass and resin

Here's the old transom light hole and the 2 side rod holes someone cut out in bad locations, i filled with plugs of wood i made fit tightly in the holes

This is a cracking issue that i had in a corner but it was actually only in the gel coat but i glassed and filled anyway

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/WellCraft/MVC-015S-3.jpg

notice the top of the transom i epoxy coated with filler to make smooth before i glass over the transom with a layer of glass.

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/WellCraft/MVC-007S-4.jpg

[msbhammer]

Great Job SKOOL. :D
Did you raise that transom ?

[Skools Out]

yeah rebuilt to 25" transom

[Skools Out]

well i came in from V repairs and look who was sleeping

Sylvester

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/Boys/MVC-018S.jpg

Look at Taz his twin brother sleeping in the window

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a46/Skools_Out/Boys/MVC-019S.jpg

[msbhammer]

Skool, what ya think of that product called Seacast ?.

[THEFERMANATOR]

I test drove a V-20 center console with a 94 140 on it(large gearcase, finger port motor I believe). It had plenty of get up and go I thought, felt like a good match. You can always tweak that 140 a little if needs be to ;D.

[Skools Out]

i say don't use Hammer


Thanks Ferm i wondered if anyone had been on one with a 140 but the CC is lighter than the cuddy

[THEFERMANATOR]

I know a 140 is the way I am going on my V-20 CUDDY(when I finally can get to it). It currently has an 83 1.6L SEA-DRIVE on it(115 powerhead rated) and it will get on plane without issue, but top end is a bit lacking. If you consider though my sea-drive is around 100HP propshaft, a 140HP propshaft rated engine would do nicely.

[V20Twin]

i had a 140 looper on my cuddy at one time it would cruise about 26 top end 34 mph

[Skools Out]

i ground all the glass repairs so far and then filled with resin and micro ballons for filler

[macojoe]

What are micro ballons?? I have heard about that type of repair but no nothing about it.

[msbhammer]

Ballons are thousands of little white balls you mix in with the resin. I guess they give it strenght ???

[randlemanboater2]

My 140 4stroke works great on my cuddy. With light fuel and load I get 40 mph, 37 mph loaded up w/ gear, gas, people. But it turns 6000 rpm, might not get the same w/ a 2 poker.

[Stillrunning]

Hmmm, I see lots of sanding!!

micro Balloons are brown usually and are little air pockets that allow you to sand resin like bondo, it actually makes the resin weaker lol but makes it very easy to sand, just makes water proof bondo lol.

[Bygracealone]

Hey Skools,

When you filled in the bigger holes with wood, resin, and glass, did you put anything on the backside (like tape) in order to keep the resin from pouring through the other side through the voids?

Also, did you use any sort of filler or wood before glassin over the holes for the snaps?

Great work as always maestro ;)

[Skools_Dual]

taped the back side of the holes with masking and filled up with resin then glassed over larger holes and the small ones just grind out and then glass and resin over the hole and the fill with resin and micro balloons

[msbhammer]

Hey, no pics. Was expecting to see pics. of teh gel coat going on. LOL.
OOPS, I gues I shouldnt say much. I have alot to do as well.

Wow! That's a long wedding!; are you J ewish or something (they used to celebrate for a week), when did it start? ;-)

I hope you have a great wedding, and more importantly, a great marriage buddy.

[THEFERMANATOR]

WEDDING!!!!!!! You done now, no more boats you going to have to clean up act!!
Congrats!!

Can't wait for the pic's

No kidding, as soon as the ring hit it all became OURS. I USED to have some money in the bank, once the wedding was over the nagging began until she got a new car and so on and so on. I HAD to sell DAKOTA, not because I wanted to but because I needed the money to keep paying the bills. We lived together for a year before we even considered getting married, but afterwards she sure did change.

[willy]

Just so you guys know Todd does not really have a V20, its been a hoax from the get go. Sort of a southern boy tease. I heard it his voice when i was down there this summer and was in his stompin grounds. He was afeared that I would see the truth.

yeah that's why i bought this treated from parker boats due to they have it dried and use it in their transoms and floors. it cost $45 a sheet. but it has to be dried to glass it. 50 gal tank.
