Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
well back from the coast now have begun to work on her again. epoxyed the floor panel's new wood in and them put glass over it to hold in place. then cut in the access hatch for the fuel lines. i hate a floor hatch to stick up and be a toe buster so i took the router and recessed in the floor hatch what ya think?

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
well been 2 days my epoxy hasn't dried enough to sand :-/ that i filled some gouges with. So i worked on the V20 tonight and did transom work. measured the transom with a string to see if it was smooth continued curve but it was off on one side by a 1/4 inch.ugh >:( so i ground on it till she is even all the way around. then spread epoxy with ballons to make smooth. now she is looking goooooooood. now got to line sand smooth then going to lay 1 piece of glass over whole transom from 4 inches under to over in well and 4 inches over the cap. she will be strong.

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
Thanks BR, Don't ya want to go on the first sea run ;D. i'm hoping she is done soon. I may have the V20 finished at the same time. I'd like to have both side by side and spray them with paint at the same time. A 2 for one deal.

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
Love the recessed access !! ...talk about attention to detail and a great solution 8) 8) ...yeah, if you can have 'em both ready to spray at same time, that'd DEFINATELY be a plus ;) 8) 8) ...as always, great work, Skools... ;D ...

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
Heck yeah I'd love to be on that maiden voyage! One of these days we'll be on EI at the same time...it will happen. I'll let you know when I head that way. If I don't get a ride on that Continental, maybe I'll at least get a ride on the Sea Ray or V20....or if I'm lucky that corvette ;)

All right what am I doing naked, oh Skiing very fast. Thought it was going to be something exciting :-/

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
Well, skiing naked at that speed should generate a pretty good willy shaking.....willy. That should be enough excitement for a geiser like you, No? ;D

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
Skools, look familiar? Sorry for the crappy pic, no working scanner. I took a picture of photograph. I loved my Conti, very solid hull. I heard they were used as law enforcement boats in FL. I think they were only made for a few years in the late 70's.

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
Tin that's a great looking one, wow what was her length? Was that the 23?Yeah they built them from 1977 till 1980. were in business right at 4 yrs,
|
Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
Skools, she was a 21, same hull as yours, either a 78 or 79, can't remember. I can't find any info on the net on these boats. Do you have any links?

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
did a fence a few months ago. the guys nieghbor has that same boat in his back yard. in bad shape though. spidered all over. soft floors, soft transom, a yammy 130 that is siezed, and when i moved some of the 3 or 4 inches of rotten leaves i saw that console was completely broken from the floor. the guy i was working for said that it has just sat thier for about 5 years. so i waited for the guy to get home to see if i could pick it up cheap. about 2 seconds into the conversation i knew this guy was an idiot! told me about a guy who tried to trade him a nice contender for the pos. but, since he was in a bind for cash he would make me a DEAL. all i could do not to laugh in his face when he said i could pull her home, on my own trailer, for 5 grand. he had some kind of "special" trailer too. said i could have it for 3500. it only had 1 flat tire and wasn't rusted all the way thru. ya'll want his number?
|
Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
That's hilarious.....some people need a reality check ::)
|
Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
none really Tin
and yes those hulls do spider crack bad. I fixed this one's. It had a ton on the top sidebut that's what epoxy is for, the floor and transom are like a rock in her now. had to fix the gas tank cover as seen above. |
Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update
looks good skoolz. and with that 225 i t should be a fun ride! what did you paint the topsides with? did you spray or roll it?
