Va Beach v20 project

[shep65]

Im with ya on the budget ..Im using polyester also ..im buying my materials from Eastern Burlap

I was about to glue and tab down one stringer this weekend but chickened out after reading all the epoxy people say don't do it ..My transom is done (in poly) and it turned out pretty good , couple things Im worried about but I think it will be ok . Anyway ..I live in VB . I've seen your boat from the street on the way to Sandbridge a few times. If your not busy Saturday could I swing by and check her out ?

Shep Eastern Burlap are some stand up guys! They helped me out with alot of product info. I have found that alot of p r oblems with guys using poly is lack of prep and not using fresh greenish blue poly resin. Eastern burlaps resin fresh with minimal shelf life. The brown old garbage resins you buy from the box stores is a joke. The most important thing to do with poly is to perform wet on wet applications as much as possible.

Well fellas the v is under the knife again. 2 years when i put the t-top on it was temporary meaning i put it on to fish taugs for winter with future plans of removing it and adding a ladder in the rear to allow me to acces the top for sight casting cobia and then powder coating the frame and putting a new top on the frame. Well that time has come. I got a smokin deal on a leaning post livewell so i incorporated my rear ladder/legs to bolts to the livewell/leaning post

Heres what it looks like mocked up and ready to weld.
Im also building my electronics box out of African mahogany! Its gonna be a sweet addition to the boat and look really good mounted on that white powdercoated t-top. Lots of pics soon to come.
