Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update

Spent the day wiring the whole boat and tested all wiring, drilled and counter sunk all the holes, mounted all the cleats, lights, and bilge pumps. then took them off and coated all the holes with epoxy so no fear of rot later and now is ready for a final sanding and the coat of paint.

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update

finally worked on the boat today. UGH been a long week the Tahoe's Diesel died last Sunday night coming home from the coast so spent the week fixing it and getting all the crap back under the hood an over $400 later it's running on all 8 cylinders again. Then the d@mn John Deere transmission broke spent yesterday working on it ugh.

So I hated how this boat's dash was flat and the gauges couldn't been seen without standing up so i built a dash and installed a set of pop up cleats. PS they are a pain in the a$$ to install, glad i fit it before the final coat of paint. Filled the old gauge holes in the dash here's pics

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update

Thanks, I hope it looks like a new boat, that's my goal, i like to make my boats user friendly and like brand new. I built 2 hatch doors tonight they are glassed on one side and going to glass the other side tomorrow night will get pics of the doors after glass is done then will smooth, finish, prime, and paint to match.

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update

as soon as this 21 is completed you'll see the V20 sitting in the floor in the same spot getting to same resto. be ready for another V20 redo. Then the V20 will be for sale too. Selling both the 21 and the V20 and then fixing the Sea Ray 250 and selling it. I want to get down to just the Wellcraft 250 and the Sea Ox 1900 Skiff.

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update

Hey Skools,

When you paint your boats, do you include any sort of a gel coat mixed in with the paint or is it straight up mulitple coats of paint over the primer? Just curious. It's looking really nice.

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update

well i had some resin left today while working on the 21 so i used it to glass the corners of the V20 transom so now i can coat the whole transom with a new layer of glass. No more metal cap on this transom.

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Update

Thanks Guys yeah it's a Brand New NYC Phone booth i got on a truck load sale once and never had the heart to scrap out so it's now just in the way. It has the phone in it as well with heat and lights, plus seat. But the totalizer, change box, and change door are missing as it never was put into service. I've thought about putting it on EBAY.

Hey i was going to go with a light gray floors with white outines on all hatchs and all but how would light tan look?

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Getting Close

Hey Skools Ive been working on my console and primed a small spot with Interlux 2000E. It didn't come out as smooth as I anticipated. I figure I should sand smooth than reapply. Is this standard? What brand 2 part epoxy primer do you use?

Skools Out

09-04-2006 09:53 PM

Re: 21 FT Project Boat Getting Close

same thing you are using. i rolled it on and then wet sanded smooth with 220 on a palm sander

Hey Skool that is some really nice workmanship you got there. I love the elevated speedo and tach you added. I bet the boys at the factory wish they thought of that. Shes very nice.

Now that I have buttered you up a little, How do I sign up for Fiberglass and painting 101, and when do classes start.
