Thank you, I did that yesterday and with exception of 2 6x6 inch areas that had wet foam on the bottom (which I have removed) the foam is dry.
This is very surprizing given that the boat was without cover for some time.
I have found LePage gap filling foam at the Orange store that is closed...
So, over the last few days the old carpet was removed from the sides and floor was removed as well.
The carpet was a huge struggle and lots of elbow grease. I have figured out that gas dissolves it best but still slow. Also the heat gun and scraper work well on the thicker areas.
Question for...
Hi Guys,
I am considering repainting my crestliner that is currently beige into Grey or black. The original paint is in really good shape and is very tough. I am concerned that despite all prep, diy pain job will start peeling. But I feel that beige tones of the boat do not look modern. Even...
Yesterday got good progress on the demo. Rear casting platform is taken apart, side boxes are disassembled. Dashboard is also taken apart. I think I will keep majority of the wiring, as it looks to be in a good shape.
I have pressure washed internals as well.
Does anyone know a good source for marine switches? I have looked at Amazon and they are all different. Current switches are tired-looking and I would like to add few more for interior lights and for music.
Ok, Let's Go! Here is a new to me FishHawk. I was looking for some time for the fishing boat project.
Main criterias were solid hull, wide body (90 inches plus), length of 17+, side console.
This boat will be used for fishing (casting, trolling, jigging).
This boat was purchased for 4750...
Yes, exactly like the store boats you described. My local store did not have them in stock for me to explore, so I was hoping one of the members here DIYed something like this
I think I will try a transom first. It does not have to be glued upon. And then will make a decision re floor. I think I will start the new thread with restoration. Hoping to start digging into it next week.
This looks awesome. I am planning to redo the floor and use vinyl flooring glued with either carpet glue or contact cement. Do you know if this sealant leaves dry finish?
Hahaha, you did. Will do exterior acx plywood with fiberglass resin over it.
How many coats do I need and is there a particular type that you can reccomend?
I have been following your build and have to say, that I am amazed at your persistence. You have started with zero boat knowledge and already managed so much and so good! Way to go brother!
