    Thanks Guys, moving a long and really happy with the progress. oscarvan Its standard CDX that I covered with Blue Fasco Epoxy. Decided to give it a try and document its use for future rebuilds. Thus far it hasn't been bad for the price point. You can find some more information on the...

    Thanks guys, following the recommendation and spent time making the joiners. Also, made a change to the seating arrangements. Decided to use one of the joiners as a seat pedestal near the aft. So we will seat 3 in the back vs the 4 originally planned. Will also be used as an adjustable...

    Got some work done over the last couple days. After a lot of debating with myself, I decided not to go with the self contained ratchets that others have used. I really liked the idea of having them, but couldn't figure out a good way to properly mount them on this trailer. My next build will...

    Other plans got postponed so got to do some work this weekend. Installed all the bolts (except one). Squirted 5200 into the hole before liberally adding it to each screw to make sure I got it all over the interior of the transom to protect it. I would not want to be the person that tries...

    Well guys, it has been a while since I had any updates. Been a little slow moving recently. Other projects/family taking up time. Followed WM's suggestion and used JB Water Weld to fill where the epoxy I used didn't fill to the top. It will prevent water from sitting in the holes and...

    Tell me about it. All in all it wasn't to bad, but will see how it holds up over time. See if my prep was good enough or if the SE was needed. On another note, got the boat back on her trailer!!!! Then my dad noticed that a couple sections were tacky...

    So with the new epoxy mixed with 6oz of pigment vs 4 oz and two coats later you can see the difference. Washed with vinegar, then sanded with 220, and a wipe down of acetone (Not shown) before painting new coats as it had been a week since my last coat You can see the difference between...

    As promised, here are the pictures I took of the boat. You can definitely see the difference between coat 4 and coat 8. Been using a foam roller which applies the epoxy much thinner than if I had used a nap hence why I am able to have so many layers without fear of to much build up. 4 coats...

    I am having some issues with the color as you said. I have reached out to Fasco to see if I double the amount of pigment in the epoxy, if it will give me the coverage/color I want. Here in Houston, Holiday parties have snow brought in for the kids to play in!!!! Picture from Tomball (N...

    Dad and Brother came over to help and got the boat flipped. Finally get to move into actually putting the boat back together. Used some foam to help cushion the boat from the concrete and the 2x4 with clamps to hold it shape. Moved into position to begin final preparation for paint Have...

    Good Point WM, It is for the upper knee brace. I didn't even think about that. I pulled up an old pic from when the motor was originally installed. I will definitely have to take a look at it when I get home
