Re: Operation "Hatch Repair" underway
LOL, yeah, I do it to contemplate my next move. I like to think things through first. I am waiting to borrow a jigsaw from a buddy, that's why I didn't do anymore work on the hatch cover. I felt like...

Re: 43 mph on the river today
I got 41.1 mph on the GPS this past weekend with a following wind on a light chop. Didn't bother trying to trim her out, that was plenty fast. I almost never run wide open, she cruises 28 at 3500 rpm...

Re: Operation "Hatch Repair" underway
There wood in that there foam!
I was contemplating the whole foam thing, so I went and sat in the boat staring at the mess. I thought there was some wood cross supports somewhere in there, I mean...

Re: Hey Skools, I got a glassing question for ya!
Great ideas on getting a little convex shape to it. However, I don't care too much about that, seems like it would tend to trip me up. The rest of the deck is flat and I always park it stern down so...

Re: Hey Skools, I got a glassing question for ya!
There were lots of areas that were not bonded to anything at all, like air pockets. I want to eliminate that so I will likely lay it on pretty thick in the center, and a little less so on the edges...

Re: Operation "Hatch Repair" underway
Good question. Here goes...1) resin and hardener, $20.00 (thanks Skools and Parker Boats) 2) Fiberglass Mat $0.00, it's good to know people that work at Hatteras Yachts 3) plywood $46.00 at Lowes, 4)...

Re: Operation "Hatch Repair" underway
There is a 1" lip all the way around the deck (see it in the pic), That's why I went with a 1" gap. Keep in mind, that the gap will be larger by the time the edge gets to the lip (angled cut). It...

Re: Operation "Hatch Repair" underway
What would I be looking for exactly? Corrosion? My luck, I'd cause a leak ;) There is no smell of gasoline ( yet ) so I'm inclined to not dig around too much. However, I don't like the foam being...

Hey Skools, I got a glassing question for ya!
Checkout my repair thread yet? If not, do so.
Anyway, the question is...I'm almost ready to attach the wood to the cover, can I just use the resin hardened as is or should I consider a filler? If...

Re: Operation "Hatch Repair" underway
I think it is common for all years that had the fuel tank there. The foam isn't helping anything, it just holds the moisture. Stupid foam. Makes me worry about the rest of the floor, but I haven't...

Re: Operation "Hatch Repair" underway
Notice I cut it at an angle, I am hoping this will aid in the transition with the glass mat. 35 degrees is what I went for.

Re: Operation "Hatch Repair" underway
Time to bust out some power tools, I needed to knock the edge of the glass off where it went down over the edge of the wood so I could get the wood out.

The wood was totally covered by resin and mat, except where the access holes are cut out ( DUH ), water just got in and made a mess of it.
