My 84 4winns horizon 195 project.

The bottom sees the most abuse, so use the strongest filler you can. Fiberglass doesn't really dent though, so I'm curious what that really is. If it's just some factory imperfections then no big deal, but if something hit it and pushed it in then that's likely damage that needs fixed.

Pics?

Its from the rollers on the transom when it rotted. I guess 40 years of sitting in the same spot took its toll. They're only about 1/8" depressions if that. I built up the support inside in those areas when I rebuilt the transom last year. I just want to smooth out the outside too. No stress cracks or anything are visible. I can try and get pictures later.

I imagine the root cause of it was over tightening the tiedowns on the trailer. The hammering of all the potholes and point loaded nature of the rollers seems like it eventually happens on all boats on that type of trailer.

Working on the trim now.


Oh and I test fit the subwoofer. No I'm not an obnoxious ahole blasting music everywhere i go. I'd just like a little fill on the bottom if I'm relaxing in a cove alone.

Didn't do much this week but here's the cabin. My girls cat ate an onion and I stayed with him all day tuesday. Otherwise I'd probably have most everything done....

Yesterday was a good day... just not for the boat. Finished putting dad's wave runner back together so he could go out today. First time he's been out on it in almost 3 years. He had the spine fusions done last year and is finally feeling up to it. So that's good.

Today, I finished the majority of the trim work. What isn't finished you cant see here anyway. So it looks done. All thats left are the cushions.

The trim brings everything together imo.

Cabin is finished:

Rolled a couple of coats of gelcoat on the bottom where it was worn through. Finished up last night. I'll probably block it monday and paint the bottom and be done with that. Nothing crazy. I sanded the indents at the back and just used a skim coat of filler and rolled gel over that. Used a 2 foot to block sand and true it up to the rest of the bottom again. Came out good. I forgot to take before photos but is what it is. Supposed to be upper 90s next couple of days so at least the paint will dry quick.
