    1979 Glastron Carlson CV-23 restoration

    Hopefully when you say silicon, you mean 3M 5200 or an equivalent.

    Chaparral 2000 SL Sport floor, and more?? [SPLASHED Sept 2017]

    Nothing yet. I have a couple small upholstery projects I want to get done before I put needle to vinyl. Several other mechanical projects have taken precedence right now. When family have things that need repaired, I’m usually the one that fixes them, lol.

    2022 Splash Of The Year Winner!

    Ain’t that the truth. I think they can only be finished when you sign over the title to someone else, lol.

    Finished the swing away hitch on the trailer. Now I won’t get my feet wet when I launch, and it still fits in the garage.

    Most of the why’s in assembly line boats can be summed up to time and money. Why do they use chop guns over hand laid glass? Why roving instead of 1708 and CSM? Why aren’t the stringers better fit with a 1/4” gap and filled with thickened resin and chop? Why are there voids in the pourable foam...

    Engine Bed Fabrication

    Mine were dimensional lumber glued together with PL, then PB’d in place. Multiple layers of 1708 to tab in place and build final height.

    Got the servo motor and a thread stand today. Went with the Consew Chinesium servo instead of the other brand Cinesium servos. It’s amazing how much smaller and lighter this DC motor is over the same hp clutch motor.

    Thoughts on this boat?

    I agree, not a bad price for the motor. The boats definitely gonna need some work. Should make a fine fishing boat eventually. It won't be breaking any speed records, but should get you to the fish.....eventually.

    Well it's buoyant if it's still closed foam and doesn't absorb water. It is also sound deadening. It also provides structure and rigidness to the hull which is necessary in some boats. Its a multifunctional must have in smaller boats.

    building a full cabin over cockpit

    I think you would be better off selling the one you have, then buying a small cuddy or something that more suits your needs.

    Chaparral 2000 SL Sport floor, and more?? [SPLASHED Sept 2017]

    Well, this thread continues. The vinyl upholstery on this 1990 Chap is original and has lasted quite long. Over time, vinyl begins to lose its supple feel and starts to harden. Many of the seams begin to fall apart and the whole interior shows its age. Early in this rebuild I replaced all the...

    2022 Splash Of The Year voting

    I’m the same. I won’t make payments on a toy, which means I gotta put in the elbow grease. I’ve never had to pay someone else to work on a toy. If I can’t work on it myself, I don’t need it. The boat restore, (always still in progress), was one of my favorite projects to date. The satisfaction...

    Also I really think the “fix’er up spirit” seems to be waning. Instant gratification seems to rule the day recently.

    Making engine beds

    The widest point at the front of the engine on my 4.3 is about 32” due to the water pump and water intake hoses. Also I’m close to 33” at the rear of the motor due to the exhaust wye pipes and rubber couplings.

    1972 Cathedral Trihull

    That looks like a great boat. Really enjoyed the “Reader’s Digest” version of this rebuild. The color you picked looks great. Enjoy it, it looks like it will give much joy for years to come. 👍🏼😎

    Poly or epoxy, not sure what to go with?

    Just grind enough to get the dirt or grime out of it. No need to go deep. Get rid of any imbedded wood, like in the chines. Sand any gel or paint out. Use acetone to clean everything up. I used MEK to clean mine as it’s a little stronger and helps the mechanical bond when using poly. I really...
