New Bracket Project.
 
Well . . . I thought I'd post some pics of my latest fiberglass project . . . well the first fiberglass (and maybe the last) project to come out of my garage. I did all the glass work and then John took it home and did an amazing job fairing, sanding, painting. I'm really pleased to see how well it came out.

It's not mine . . . it's a friends 23 seacraft. We made a trade bracket for a old boat (22 seawolf WA).

MJ - Are you mad at me . . . Where the hell have you been?

Total weight is about 150 - 175lbs . . . It tooks 15 gallons of iso polyester resin, 40 yards of 1708 and one sheet of 3/4" marine ply for stringers , transom, and to core the swim platform.

Dang, that is something else!
I always wondered how much material it would take to do that.
Great job, absolutely wonderful!!
And the gallery link, Thanks BS!

macojoe 07-13-2009 08:14 AM

That's it!!

that look like a sweet deal if the motor checks out. i see why you put a bracket on it, low transom and wide open. i had a 74 Mako transom like that and was scary at times..

wait till that bracket cracks and falls off!

bigshrimpin 07-22-2009 04:16 PM

The owner gave it the old speed bump in the school yard test driving home after mounting the motor at the boat yard . . . The bracket is solid as a rock :) no flex at all :)

Those Seacraft's are some nice rigs. I've checking out the classicseacraft website..really nice stuff.

randlemanboater 08-02-2009 07:29 PM

Nice work BS.....I bet you could make a good living selling brackets like that.
