Port side has a big dent and the mount for the transducer is bent up. I don't see why the starboard needs replaced. I didn't really look close, but it just looks like cosmetic damage to me.
You just have to let the first color dry so the tape will stick. I wait about an hour on a good day, then tape over the first flake to do the next color.
Jacob, flake can be pretty tricky to get right, and multiple colors makes it so much worse. Do you have prior experience with gel?
Floors are usually 5/8. You'll most likely need stringers and transom too. No treated wood. I would just clean the seats as best as possible and store them for now. You'll have plenty of work and money in the rest.
Ok, I'm neither of those, but here's my thinking. More weight = more lower. I get what you're thinking, by lowering the front you increase surface area in contact with water so more floatation surface. But your problem is that the back is too low, not the front is high. So bringing the front...
Forgot to post this yesterday. The Cobalt was finished, washed and waxed. Next up is an 01 Glastron. The lift dropped and the boat was rubbing on the dock for a while. Fixing damage at the nose and a gouge on the starboard rear corner. We should find out today if we're doing any more.
Here is his other thread on the same topic. There are only 2 pictures, but one shows water about an inch from the edge of the splash well. It briefly went over the well when he got in.
