Last bit of progress. That was kinda scary .. I used the 6013 rods with the setting on around 90 amps .. I never burned through but came close a couple times ..good thing it’s under the fender . LOL!

TD that is a real close match .. No not any luck on the manufacturer .. The mid rail on yours has 3 rivets on the very end and it’s shaped a bit different . Other than that it’s pretty close .. For now it’s a Sammycraft I guess LOL ! when things get clamped yo something round they like to spin...

Yeah a MIG is on the list for sure . Everyone seems to say they are easier to weld with . I still want to get halfway decent at stick welding ..Quite gubbery but I don’t think the coupler is going anywhere . I’ll hit it with the grinder and call it good .LOL !

Slow progress arch ... Doing my best to weld all the parts and pieces on to the new steel tube . I don’t have a son in law that welds anymore so It’s my time to learn . Not the prettiest but strong I think .. I need to decide how I should fasten the coupler to the tube . Just bolt it or weld...

Almost forgot how much fun it is to spray paint in Florida 90% humidity ...dug out the ol purple people eater from way back when and shot a sealer coat of primer on part of the main frame . mall the small parts I had done a few days ago with just a paint brush ..I’ll be putting at least one...

There was a thread here with a guy that had a 15' tri-hull similar to yours . It actually worked out pretty well . He runs it off shore . I wish I could remember the members name but it escapes me ...

Kind of on topic here . A neighborhood not far from me got blanketed !! https://www.news4jax.com/news/local/2021/05/02/mystery-solved-beekeeper-identifies-weird-brown-stuff-falling-on-northside/ There was a lot of speculation on what it was ..

Kleats / ribs , joist, supports , brackets , whatever ya want to call em .. Little strips of wood to stiffen things up ...

COVID shot done . Felt a little jittery afterwards and a bit faint for an hour or so . After getting lunch in my stomach I felt much better .. Got all the little parts blasted good enough I think . I may mix a small batch of the epoxy primer to get it covered and sealed up real quick .

Idk man 1/2” ain’t much support and you have the grain parallel with the side supports . Not sure if just glassing would be strong enough .. How about adding some strategic kleats under it out of sight . Just a rip of ply turned vertically or some dimensional lumber ..

CamCobalt welcome aboard ! Not sure if there is the same Glastron restoration project thread here or not ... There are a ton of Glastron threads though .. Maybe use the the search function or google it and and add iboats to the google search .. But it is a glass boat and they are all pretty...

Why not just stain and varnish ? Or epoxy sealed first then varnish . Your wanting to retain the wood look right ?

Gotta go into town tomorrow . Me and the Admiral are getting our second COVID shot in the morning so I’ll pick up another valve while we are out ..

Cabinet is nice to have Arch for small stuff for sure .. So needing something to take outside to do bigger stuff I picked up one of these with some cole slag fine I think is what it is .. https://m.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200693483_200693483 Once I got it dialed in the thing was...

Congrats to our J-ville local kid Mac Jones ! Hope he does well with the Pats .. Just not against us ..
