Painting the transom and bottom of the hull anyway?

Whats the white stuff in the grain and between a couple of the mahogany boards?

Not going w a bare mahogany bottom, correct?

I'd use epoxy PB....

I think the flaking 'plug' looks like varnish/polyurethane/epoxy......

 

[sphelps]

SOB ! The darn pic down loading posting thing is a total pita with my phone . But thats happening on my end at the moment .. Ridiculously harder than it needs to be ...

 

[sphelps]

The flaking plug is just the original filler they used then stain/varnished/painted over .. Just old and crumbly ..
The white stuff is just the old paint still left in the cracks and crevasses ...I have more pics but have seems as I cant find them now after down loading from my phone .. Hard to explain ..Lets say my SIL had something to do with it ..:lol:

 

[sphelps]

Took the screws out and opened up a gap between the hull and the transom .

I hope I have enough aerosil ...

Bag O screws ....

All sealed up and re-screwed together ...
Me thinks this should help keep the water in the lake where it belongs ..

Sam, this Old dumb Okie would be Looking at Pettit's Mahogany wood filler. All the Chris Craft boat owners like it a lot.

Looking good Sam.

 

[kcassells]

I Like that move you made with the nails. Very creative says I.
Geezzz Sam How much aerosil is that? I think you will have plenty!

Funny I have had that in my garage for over a year now . A resinous flooring company at a job I did uses it in there product .. I mentioned to the guy that I use that stuff a lot with the boat projects I had going on ... He had some left over so he gave me a bag ...Should last a while !

Is this the stuff Woody ? https://www.pettitpaint.com/fileshare/product_pds/Wood-Filler-Stains.pdf
As grainy as the wood is this sounds like a good idea but I don't think its thick enough for the screw holes idk ..

 

[Woodonglass]

Yah but...I keep forgetting she's a Plywood hull!!! I think I'd just used fine sanding dust and thicken some epoxy for screw heads and small gouges. Heck I'm just Old and Dumb so how should I know!!!

 

[sphelps]

I'm talking topside planking and such .. No epoxy going there ...

 

[sphelps]

Just some incentive ...Was thinking a Tropical blue for the bottom ... Lower cut windshield also ...

 

[jbcurt00]

Nice

Mt Dora show should give ya some ideas and motivation

 

[sphelps]

Curious on how they will do the show this year with all the docks getting torn up during the storm .
I guess a lot more on land and along the beach .. Tempted to enter the MFG but there may be limited space idk ..

 

[jbcurt00]

I dont think theres going to be a dock or wet meet component

If you plan to attend, esp if you want to enter the MFG, best touch base w the event people....

 

[Woodonglass]

Is the top side planked or mahogany plywood?

 

[sphelps]

Looks like planks to me Woody ...
