this aint easy hahahaha

[younggunm27]

geting ready to out up braces and fiberglass as well





i seriusly needed a respirato id half to say smelling that iberglass resing gave me a wierd buzzy feel.

[younggunm27]

the idea of doing this was to give me something to do before i go into the marine corp when i get out of school this spring.



the boat has a pretty deep v for sutch a shallow hull. nex few weeks all have it paint gloss white.




heres the tow vehicle wanting to get a deisal though

the wireing so far has truly ben such a pain it has taking up 3-4 hours and i just have the lights wired i neede the bilge pump and the areator/ bilge pump hooked up soon. i truly need help wirng the gas guage and the tach ill keep the speedo there for looks because im just going to use the gps. also i need help wiring te trim, after paint i need to install a 6 inch jackplate and my engine and steering mess. then im going to extend my floor and make a rodbox, resulting in a much bigger deck. im thinking on ash carpet or some sort of gray, should be getting the trolling motor next week but i wont be able to install till after paint. the eisiest thing in the hole project will be the trailor gotta strip it paint it with the gritty paint shit thanks to total beveragees work. then rewired with new lights and new jack and winch i bought new safety chains and probably need new bunks, also the fendors will be the hardest id like to keep the old ones and rebuild them with glass and body filler. the hardest part about the boat is i dont have a device where ii can pick up the top cap and lay it somewhere to work on the transom like everone else. but this project has been a blast but very time consuming, i only work on it every few weeks for just 2 days stright from 6 am to dark, so my time frame will be to be done by the end of spring , plase comment of questions or criticizem im only 17 so trying to rebuild this boat has been an absolute dream . thankyou guys at BBc

Seems to me you're doing a really good job. Putting the glass on is not too bad - get a mask for when you sand! keep the pics coming!

What kind of plywood are you using ? It appears to be just normal plywood.... this doesnt have the structural support as marine grade plywood. I think it would be dangerous to use regular plywood, dont wanna see anyone get hurt. keep up the work though
