Nice work!! Nice shop too! Are you gonna replace the original skin or build new deck and glass then paint over ? Have you ever done this before or just going for it? I would like to do similar just don't have the know how/time/equipment/money or room mostly know how. That's why I was hoping you just said what the heck only wood and glass. Please keep the pics coming makes a world of difference.

I had never done anything like this before i had started this FEB. I did a lot of looking around on the internet and sifted through various sights. Everything has been done with West System. (have acesss to port supply acount and have a friend who works there) I make hardly any money and all of it i make has gone into this project. ( my girlfriend bought the motor....shhhh ) I am 23 years old and i have done all the work at my dads house with little help but from my girlfriend.
I placed the stringers onto the hull with west system and 403 additive. Its great for filleting. I put a bead onto the hull in a couple small places and let it set up. (the stuff is strong as mess) As for the foam. This is the most biased thing i have researched. I bought 2 quart urethane 2lb density kit from west marine just to mess with it. i decided to put it in one of the voids on the starboard side. Well the whole kit didnt even fill the void all the way and it was a pain in the but. i dont have a covered work place, nor a cover so the weather has been a huge factor. Any time it has rained and wood was exposed i let it dry out a long time before i thought of glassing it. I am worried about the foam holding water. I have a drain system made into the side bulkheads but it is useless once i pour the foam in. Feel free to pick me apart on this stuff because this is one area where i have been on all sides of the fence. I wish i could use the old floor as it is in pretty good shape. Only thing is the previous owner sprayed rhino liner in a puke green color onto it and it WILL NOT COME OFF! I am going to lay a new floor down, one layer of 1208 underside and probably 2 layers on top. Sorry if there are any typos, im eatin breakfast while typin and gettin ready for work. Keep the questions coming. I like being picked apart because everything i learned has been within the last year. i am by no means an expert. |

I was thinking about getting a porta bracket but in reality i am not gonna be able to afford it. I have a bracket that was on the boat before i redid the transom but the way it was set up was for a 20" motor and had a manual jackplate to run a 25" motor. I would like to do away with the manual jackplate. So can i just move the bracket up to use it as a 25" motor? or will that create too much of a moment on the transom? I know there is a calculation for how high to mount it based on the set back but i am just lookin to see if i can use it as a 25" bracket for now. If not would someone like to trade?? haha
