2ndChance, whats teh bill talley so far on this ;D
Either way, she is looking good.









P.S. sorry to hear about the break in and the bracket being stolen. ;D

Re: 2ndchance / JeffX
 

Thats not a crack, it's where somthing dripped on the transom and discolored the primer. I you look just to the right of center you can see more of it. The cost that was agreed on is $3000 unless some other problem came up. So far he hasn't said its going to be any more.

Man, THAT looks GREAT 8) 8) ...that's what Wellcraft should done w/these transoms to begin with ;) ...good stuff!! ;D ...

Re: 2ndchance / JeffX
 

Could you have put a big fish box in the transom? *A couple of starboard lids on top as to make it easy to open? *Then again, put too much fish and ice back there and the ride wouldn't be so great either *:-/ Prolly not near as structurally sound either.

What about a hot tub? ;D

Dang man, that is looookin great! *Site for sore eyes! *I've been waiting for somebody to do that! *You go 2ndChance - as Randy Jackson says, "THAT WAS HOT BABY" *;D

Re: 2ndchance / JeffX
 

The area on top will be a bait station eventually. The wet bar, hot tub, and sauna will be up foward ;D ;D ;D
The area in the encloser will be for the battery oiler and fuel filter. :)

Ok, sorry I'm a little late, but here's where I'm at this weekend: I finally got my "cranes" ::) put together and set up, lift the inner liner out from the hull and put the hull in the driveway so I could get it cleaned out. Once I started working on / inspecting the hull I found a few things that are going to have to be addressed. First, four of the outer bulkheads have seperated from either the hull or stringers. Second, there are spots on the stringers where the glass is not stuck to the wood. Third, the moister trapped by the foam for so long seems to have taken a small toll on the fiberglass.

So, can fiberglass go bad?

Anyway, enjoy the pics!


Poor man's crane in action.

I was a little nervous about whether or not I was going to get it high enough

Inner Liner safely on the ground.

Bulkhead seperated... I have a few more pics of others that are seperated, but once you've seen one, you've seen them all.... ;D

Here's a pic of all the crap I had to get out of it. The lesson here is if your going to put foam in a boat make sure you understand what areas you need to leave open so water wont get trapped.

I was able to get most of it cleaned out. Hopefully I'll have time to get the little stuff out tomorrow and then take it to a pro and get some estimates (or laughed at...)

Per MJ's request I kept my mug outta this round of pics! :P

Re: 2ndchance / JeffX
 

I gotta hand it to ya', I always heard where there is a will there is a way. I think the engineering so far is impressive regardless of the boat. WOW.

I think this is going to be a wild ride. Keep the pics coming.

Now there is a man who knows how to "Get'r Done!!!"

Re: 2ndchance / JeffX
 

between Bigshrimpins' bracket, jeffx liner hoist and skools's shop spittin' boats out like chicklets.....there's some serious boat building going on here. I just want to wax mine.
