Thanks Woodonglass,
Sorry, I started to sign-up for the photobucket but, I am leary about putting personal information on line. I studied Networking in the past and I am not comfortable giving out that kind of information. Thanks, but we'll have to find another way to post pictures without me having to release sensitive information.

Not like you will get in trouble forcreating a new birthday. Email would need to be valid so you can get a password reset if needed. Just create a 'junk' account for that if you want.

Re: how much fiberglass do I need?

I am having some issues with the bulk uploader on Photo Bucket. There is an error message that continues to pop up.("Trust Error This application requires authorization to access your file system. You were prompted during the load of this page to either Run or Trust the application. Please close and re-open your browser to receive the prompt again.

If you do not receive the prompt, contact your system administrator.") I have spent about 2 hours trying to upload pictures and I have worn myself out. There has got to be an easier way. A lot of you guys have done this for years, but I have only been at it for a couple of days.It is frustrating to me to use Photobucket. So if anyone has a play-by-play on the use of this site i can certainly use it.
Thanks again,
Bike Rider

I'm not sure how this will work, I tried it in word and it worked. I copied the URL, turned it into a hyperlink. I copied the link so I can paste it here. let's see how it comes out.

I hope this is a better pic. Thanks Woodonglass.

Also thank you too Trooper82

 

[oops!]

Re: how much fiberglass do I need?

you got it now......good pics.

c ? its easy.

ok....the forumula i gave you will need to be altered for this type of boat. the basic is the same....the amount of layups are the same....but the distance is different

use the same formula,,,,,,but shorten the lengths of the csm for the length of the stringers and the deck.

the calculations will work out the same.

Re: how much fiberglass do I need?

Oops, a good idea would be to put the formulas into the stickies.

Re: how much fiberglass do I need?

Thanks guys, while removing the deck my helper cut a hole in the hull with my roto-zip. Is there any suggestions on the repair for this?

Re: how much fiberglass do I need?

Re: how much fiberglass do I need?

I saw your hull extension thread, I feel there might be some hope for me.

Re: how much fiberglass do I need?

Everyone needs to cut their hull at least once, just to get the practice on how to do fiberglass repairs!!!!!

Re: how much fiberglass do I need?

Don't jinx me WoG! I haven't cut my hull (but maybe I should have after my hack job with the transom today)!

You're in good hands here bike rider. The cut looks like a simple repair when the time comes.

Re: how much fiberglass do I need?

I hope when the time comes I will have learned enough to feel as confident as you guys and not let this upset me.
Thanks WOG & fmjnax for your support.
