    1966 MFG Rebuild

    went back up this evening after adding a second 2x4 on the other side of the press thing. I placed it on the center line and added some pressure. Held up good no twisting now I added a few rods on the other side. I am thinking it may take some time getting these in place and the PB start to kick...

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    I am still green to fishing on the bay. A captain took me out a few times and showed me how to get anchored on the Bay bridge watch the current and fish the piling but that tends to be a hot spot unless going out at night or the weekdays. Plus it long enough trip North from my port. I would...

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    I will need to double up on the 2x4. I tested today and since I have the threads on 1 side it twist. So I will add another 2x4 on the other side and 4 more threaded rods.

    Actually I purchase some acorn nuts instead of 2 nuts that are jammed. Will probably need to still jam it when I remove it.

    19-24" slot size on rockfish, and that is all we about catch here in the summer. I feel I don't want to go chasing them anymore until the fall. I rather chase some Spanish mackerel when they come up.

    I made 4 of these still putting them together. I need to go purchase some nuts to put on the end and jam them. I will use this to compress the transom in. I think I will need one more a total of 5. After the next set of rods come in I will dry fit with the transom and see how it works. Debating...

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Went over today to finish up preparing the outer skin for the bond to the wood. Fill some gaps at the bottom of the transom where the wood meets the bottom corner of the hull and transom. Made 6oz thicken resin to fill the gaps and cracks so I can layup on the bottom of the hull. Laid one...

    Going out tomorrow night to see what I can catch when the sun is down. I will anchor in the river. I picked up a under water led with about 30ft cord that mount to the battery. Will only be in about 8 feet though. I will see if that will bring them down under. Also picked me up a fan encase...

    Never tried I have looked. I went with Fiberglasssite because they are in Maryland and I have the option to pick up my order in about an hour fifteen minute drive. Or delivered in 1 day. They are located just North of Baltimore. I picked this TotalBoat up from Amazon. Rolling the dice!

    Went over this morning add some 1708 tabbing on the inside of the outer skin bonding it to the inside of the hull. Fixing that split on the starboard side. That stiffened up the the skin pretty good alone the sides. I was going to do 2 layers of tabbing 4" and 7" but decided to do just one 5"...

    1966 MFG Rebuild

    Actually went to check up on it and try to refit. That worked well. Still off just a bit. Gained about a half inch. its about .25 inch off, as I can slide another half inch board between. Just a little more and I will feel comfortable with the clamps and the bond without having to worry about...
