Re: Timid but determined Glasstream restoration

Hello all again,
It started as a joke, someone said how do we pull it and someone said cut the back off, The owner broke out his sawsall and started cutting. The rest is history. We did get a lot of strange looks going down the freeway.
Stay safe all

That's funny! When I saw the first pic before reading I thought you and you buddy were going to start another oops thread:eek:

Glad you got it home ok. Did you cause any accidents from the looks you were generating:confused:

Looks like it's time to take the word 'timid' out of the thread title!

Now are you just going to graft the whole thing onto the back of his boat? You would add about 5 feet and have a super custom.

Hello all,
I guess "Timid" really doesn't fit anymore, but I owe it to all the support from the great folks on this site.
Thanks again to all.
Bob

Hey SKIBUM1M,
That really would be like OOP'S then.
I don't think I want to go that far yet.
It would be interesting though.
Thanks Again.

Hi Bob,

If that's "Timid but determined" I'd hate to see "Angry and unwavering... ".

Re: Timid but determined Glasstream restoration

OK Folks,
May not be as exciting as some of the others but I dis make some progress this weekend finally.
I managed to get the stringers all glassed in.

Next time home I will work on the sub deck and the bulkheads,\
I will also pick up the ply for the deck.
Now that the stringers are in I can work on the deck template too.
Like I said not as exciting as the others but progress.
One question for the group.
Since this boat does have sub decks that go in the ski locker, under the gas tank and in the bilge area should I paint the area these decks cover since it's for drainage and once the are covered, I will not be able to get to them again.
Your thoughts are always appreciated.
Thanks all.
Bob

Hey Bob! Looks great! I'm not sure about your question but those stringers look really good. How did you get the ply to curve like that?

Nice to see you finally got some time to work on the boat. I hated the template part- it was a pain in the ***:mad:

Hey Mick,
Thanks
To get the ply to bend I just put a board between the two stringers and clamps on the front to pull them together.The back part is actually sitting right against the chimes and PL in place.
The wife and mother nature both gave me a good day.
Take care.

Hey seamorewaterVIP,
Thanks for the response.
I haven't decided if I'm going to paint the entire underside or not. I am going to paint the bilge area and was thinking about painting the drainage areas for extra insurance. Just a thought.

Re: Timid but determined Glasstream restoration

Hey Arch,
Thanks, The deck is still out a ways.
I'll be glad to see it in myself.
The next time I'm home I'll be trying to finish the below deck stuff, that will take most of the next weekend. I knew it would be slow going when I started but it's at least going.
Take care.
Bob
