Patching a Crack in My '73
I've got some system 3 "quick fair" that I'm using to fill and fair the crack that RB found. I applied a first coat yesterday evening. This evening I will go back and sand it down and apply another skim coat. Then next week when I get back from the beach I will sand that smooth and seal it up with some system 3 two part epoxy.

Should have known it wasn't right for the job ::) http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...g?t=1175614127 And here is the boat: http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...g?t=1175614165 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...g?t=1175614226 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...g?t=1175614325 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...402071902a.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...402071902b.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...0402071903.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...402071903a.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...402071903b.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...402071903c.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...402071903d.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...0402071907.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...0402071913.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...402071913a.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...0402071914.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...0402071916.jpg The Crack - WARNING! CRACK KILLS! Note: This boat is no stranger to bottom patching. PO must have been a "shallow water fisherman" LOL. I cleaned and sanded it nice and smooth and then feathered on the quick fair. This stuff can be hand sanded in 3 hrs and machine sanded in 4 hrs. Hence the name "quick fair" ;) http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...0402071909.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...0402071925.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...402071925a.jpg I know some will ask, so here is dad's smoker (custom built) and burn down barrel (old air tank). http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...402071900a.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...0402071901.jpg http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d7...402071901a.jpg |

I forgot to mention I have a local guy that has said he is buying it! I'm so happy for the boat. What's great is he is planning on using it at High Rock lake so I will still get to see her 8)

Blue, you have any access to the inside of the hull where the crack is, if so, maybe thow on some cloth and resin.
So whats the final price you gonna let her go for. Thats one nice V you have Blue. ;) |

I did patch the inside with some of the quick fair but could not get a picture - too dark. I think its gonna hold up just fine once I'm done.
