    1983 Blue Fin 16’ Resto

    Planning to cut flush against the lock nut? That's whatI would do. Yeah, that stuff can be pretty hard to remove. We have this stuff. It works pretty well, but I think it's expensive. Don't remember how much, but it made me think "screw that!".

    Inherited boat, how bad is this?

    Nope. No big deal, I've seen enough mulched stringers to pretty much know what you're looking at. I would ballpark it somewhere closer to 5k and 6 months, assuming you have a full time job and other life responsibilities, plus the inevitable needing a break from it. Needing to lift the cap...

    Huh, must be something on my end. Pictures in other threads are showing fine.

    Your pictures didn't work for some reason. Iboats has a file size limit, so try reducing the size/quality of the pictures. From the descriptions though, you're looking at a total structural rebuild. The stringers are a total loss, transom will be too, and the floor will have to come out to do...

    Hmmmm, must be doing something wrong. It's supposed to be in and out about 30 times for trimming and swearing at, and then have a big gap on one side...

    Boats from work.

    I don't know what happened to this one, but this trailer doesn't have guide bars so can't be that. Cobalts look nice but they seem to be getting harder to work on. More stuff that was only meant to be accessed while the cap was lifted for assembly, so harder to reach or just have to cut a way...

    Opinions on this welded aluminum hull

    You can see the same thing on this 2024 cresliner I'm doing. You'll have to zoom in a bit, but you can clearly see regular straight lines.

    Opinions on this welded aluminum hull

    That's just where the interior structure is welded. Nothing to worry about, every welded boathas those.

    Only took about 5 days to strip it and paint. Pretty good time.

    Osmosis in gelcoat

    Blisters happen because gel is porous, and water can eventually seep through and become trapped between the glass and gel coat. They're usually happen where bunks sit first, because those areas don't dry as well, so the water has more time to work in. I somewhat agree with Chris, if you're...

    This thing, a '91 Kawasaki Jet Ski, is going to be all done up in pink flake 🤮
