Hammer's transom Rebuild

[msbhammer]

Thanks Parishht. Guess I found myself a new fuel tank. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I'm still uncertain what to do with this V. :-/
With my luck if I dont part it out and stick it on E-Bay with a new Transom, nobody might not buy it.
Wanna make a few bucks to pay for the other other custom dive platform on my V.
It might be parted out next week or have a new transom in it. I just dont know. :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

You have gone this far and have it ready to go, you have done the real hard stuff, I say keep going!!

Then sell and have $$$ for swim platform and also able to rent a few super modles for a weekend or two for your V ;D

Thanks for the support MJ. I was down at the boat yard doing some begging and all, a group of guys are glassing over a 45 ft. wooden boat They just gave me big pieces of matting for free. So this helps big time. ;D

[msbhammer]

Here's some of the thick free cloth that I got yesturday. I can get it by the bag full. Just need to do a little more begging for some West System. Going price for West System is $117.00 per gallon for resin and Hardner.

West isn't the only epoxy, check and see what the boatyard is using for epoxy? They may be using all poly though?

Either way, keep up the good work. You have to finish now, cause I wanna see how you piece the splashwell back in ;D

The guys have a 50 gallon drum of West System. Hmm.
Walked into the bait shop this morning and seen the going prices of West System. *:-/ Trying to make this as much as a free V as possible. *;D

Dredding the splashwell. Gonna have to do some fine work to hide the seem. That might mean painting the whole boat. Allgrip is big time pricey as well. :o

Hammer, West is OK but there are better epoxys out there for 1/2 to 2/3 the price. Give me your email address and I will hook you up with a better "no blush" epoxy for about $50 delivered to your house.

I'm interested,

been on duty here wasn't even able to go with my buddy to pick up his new ride. I'll be getting pics tomorrow and posting asap. I swear this boat is half barried in the dirt. My wife is going to s234 a brick when I come home with it.
