PICT0613.jpgPICT0613.jpgSnapped a few pics after work. I need to get my new compressor home so this stuff will go faster. All the work is for the last pictures result. I"ll get some more soon. Took more than I can upload. Check out the rotted wood. Glad to have that crap out.

Wow you've got a project! I'm going to be doing that to my tansom before to long. Looks like floor below console was bad? How are you going to tackle the transom? inside, outside, gut it and pour a new core?

Good times Link!! Skins are gutted already at the transom. Trying to make some time to pour the first mix. Stupid work place keeps me from working on the boat.
I drilled the wood from beween the skins with a 1" wood bit. Worked alright, but I'm glad I don't do that stuff day to day. To those who do, DAMN DUDE! Helps if you don't do it in the middle of a record breaking heat. Maybe my foam wont be saturated!

Grew up with Penn Yans. Can't find them here in richmond, so I went with something just better. Freaking charter buisiness in the past makes me want to fish just that much more. Hence the v20! Can't wait to make it happen!! Pics coming. Anyone recommend a little regular bondo to fill in the fiberglass lines and air bubbles?

Hey no kidding your in Richmond, thats about an hour west of me. Did you charter out of OBX?

I know people dont recommend bondo for boats, but I have used the premuim gold here and there with good results, good primer and paint helps Im sure

Sweet deal Link! When I get her fixed, we should meet up and take the twins down to the launch ramp. It'll look like a freaking wellcraft commercial! The charter biz was on Lake Ontario(grew up in Binghamton NY). Never was able to get the fish bug out of my blood. Looking to get my sixpack license so that one day a can charter out of The Banks. That would be super sweet!! Just a few more holes to fill on the console,then it's on to the gas tank to see if it needs replacing. So glad I didn't dump her in the water first shot!!
