Nice looking boat. I like the red rope in the rub rail too. Will be a great rig when you get done, specially for 20 bucks. Be sure to show the po when yer done.

Re: Glasstream boat project

Bondo is NOT good for boats as it contains stuff in it that absorbs water over time and it is not considered structural in any way...;)...
Plus, in my experience, unless used as a very thin {less than 1/16"} filler over fiberglass, it has different properties than fiberglass and has a very high tendency towards delamination...

BTW, nice Glasstream...glad to see another one getting restored...

Good luck and have fun!

Fiberglass.

Bondo is just for pinholes.

Why do you ask ?

Re: Bondo,or fiberglass?:)

You got your answer in your original thread. Why did you feel it necessary to start another thread and ask the same question? You will find the members on this forum to be some of the most knowledgeable and most helpful people in the world. But you need to be as specific as you can when it comes to asking questions concerning your project and what you are wanting to accomplish. Pics are always helpful so that we can "See what you See". Do this and you WILL usually get all the answers you could possibly hope for.:biggrin1:
