I am a pilot and always enjoyed your podcasts from the Skyhawk but for some reason these boat episodes have had me hooked from the beginning. Keep them coming, I'm addicted.
I wish my wife was this helpful and handy. You're a lucky man.
She was a model that Aaron turned into a pretty grease monkey 😅 😎 😳
Most women are users and deceiver's now days! They leanered it from men that are liars, users, and deceiver’s! It’s really, really hard to figure out who to trust anymore! What a shame!
Keep motivating her she will come around
No it must be his sister !!! Or she's been spiked and dragged into his boat !!
Yes he is lucky. This red faced geek spiked her drink and dragged her into his boat !
Remember that it is a Bayliner and it will be so much better after you two fix it!
If you think it’s starting to rot? Cut it out or you’ll be doing it again in 2yrs. Tie your fiberglass in really really good. If you have a vacuum pump? Use it to pull your resin into voids by drilling a small hole where you want the resin to flow to.
You all made a fella smile real big because of your communication! That is a key, a major key to success.
The other thing that made me smile is that you test fit and set up your clamps and wood blocks.
Third, No Air Bubbles. You rolled out the glass really good between layers. Bubbles are weakness, and you have none.
I was getting excited as I watched you doing your lay up work. You all work so well together, talking with each other as you went along.
Congratulations you two! That is some awesome work.
Your comments are always so wonderful Bob, thank you ♥️🙏🏼
A few years ago we were fixing a boat that had a reupholster drill through the floor. Guess where it leaked. We visited a wholesaler and he gave us tips on what to do. We followed the person's instructions and voilà. Of course the prep work took most of the time. We took the outboard motor off. We did it before we got too old. The boat works well. Everything went according to plan. The fishing was worth it all. I used to tease the friend's grandson with, "I won’t go fishing with you Jake, but I'll go chasin' women." ( . . . apologies to Stuart Hamblen) . . . Jacob was about 10 years old back then. . . . he would rather be fishin' then, . . . now I'm not so sure. 😊
Missed your boat videos glad to see you working on the boat...
Thank god you went with Coosa, awesome video, you guys make it fun to watch.
Great seeing the two of you working hand in hand making a better life for each other. That is real keep up the good work. I realize you probably already know but taking the coldest shower you can stand will help get the glass out of the pores of your skin.
From wrapping cars, sanding cars, rebuilding boat transoms, rebuilding cars and all while looking pretty doing it!!! You to Aaron! What a great channel to watch!!!!
Bayliner…. Or AKA … Bottomliner.
you'll want to "bed" coosa board into a mix of resin and fumed silica or something else (chopped glass can work but silica is great to stuff to use) to make up a slurry of light weight material to act as a grout like filler for all the gaps.
Liquid nails!!!😂😂😂 I just spit my coffee all over my phone dude! You had me rolling. Love and hugs from Waco.😁
Guys, that was well done. Simple inexpensive fix when doing it yourselves. Having more than my share of fiberglass work on Vette and boats, I can say, you guys nailed this repair. Thought the thickened material was a bit think but should work. Ratio of glass to resin is critical for strength. Your fiberglass overlay should be cloth not chopped mat. Final layers, and you need several, can tie this together. Looks good. Have fun and stay safe.
PS: If you have minor wood rot in stringers, the resin product you referenced, is amazing. Once resin sets, the stringers will feel like iron.
Said everything I was gonna comment on. I rarely use mat, much prefer the cloth for strength. Plus it disappears reasonably well when I'm working with it over wood, that want to show. (Then the varnish, for sunscreen, lol. Lots of coats on brightwork...)
Very interesting episode. Cars, trucks, boats, airplanes it doesn't matter if it's Emily and Aaron it's worth watching. Only thing better is when the KID is involved. Love you guys and love the boat.
We love this soooo much!!!
When i have done the fiberglass grinding and sanding, I go to the local thrift store and buy a long sleeve shirt and any old pants that fit ( usually $3-5 each if you dont care about style- I dont ) then after grinding and sanding I just toss the whole outfit in the trash and take a shower.. never wear them twice...
Tyvek!
Taking a lunch break and watching - the first episode I watched was #3... Your video tech has grown wonderfully, and the qualities of your chemistry that keeps us coming back haven't changed, Bravo! Well done !
Motor swap, the plot thickens.
Your thoroughly excellent prep pays off with an easy glue up. Well done.
For a couple of amateurs you two sure do outstanding work. The replacement transom will be so much stronger and will last forever. Well done!!
Never saw this channel. You are a STUNNING woman.
Indeed she is but if you watch for a while you'll see that she is an absolute sweetheart! She's a unicorn 😉
@@danielrobey1759 thanks y’all 🥹🥹🥹
@@flyingsparksgarage it's an easy compliment to give
Great job guys! Might I suggest --Wide strips of coarse roving run from the new transom inboard along the stringers for a foot or more past the transom and replacement sections of the stringers will help tie the stress forces on the transom into the rest of the hull. This will help prevent future stress fractures in the external gel coat and loss of transom and stringer integrity. Scuff up the existing internal fiberglass before application of the roving. When the boat plant I worked at did transom to keel and other angles we always reinforced with coarse roving at all transition points. Especially with repairs. BTW in 1976 a one inch ding in the external gel cost $100.00. Can't imagine what it is now.
The Coosa board is a good choice, looking good, and can't wait to see motor swap.
Guys… did you ask some well experienced fiberglass people on how to glass in your transom? My family worked in the FRP industry over 50 yrs in the Pacific Northwest. I personally owned a company producing Gel Coat and polyester glass fiber putty. “Thixo” The putty is used round out 90 degree corners to more easily lay up the fiberglass without any trapped air. It is also used to set in stringers and glue in structures that will be glassed over. I saw you using “mat” fiberglass but no heavy woven roving… laying up fiberglass is always done is a schedule of various weights fiberglass for structural strength. The glass fiber putty would have been perfect for gluing in the transom part in your case… just resin is not really enough. IMO. Hope you used some woven roving in laying up the rest of your repair… waiting for the next video to see how you proceeded. Good luck!!!
I wish you had a boat repair company in the tri-valley area of the SF East BAy, The one and only company, Boatmasters, closed up due to retirement.
I've always loved the variety your channel offers! 🙂
Glad you like the variety!!!!
Its nice to see someone do it right Im an old fiberglass man and you two do what it great
At first I was worried about the methodology, but in the end you did it exactly like I would have. Yes the thickened epoxy could have been thicker. Should work great!
Somehow I missed the first video and went back to find it before watching this one. I am enjoying watching you guys not being afraid to tackle something you have never done and learn... teaching us as you go. That little vibrating cutting tool is handy to have around. I bought one several years ago and it has been handy when I ran up against something a larger saw might do, but be a bit of overkill.
very cool! Love that you took an unfamiliar project by the horns and worked through it.
I Can't wait to see her back in the water again with you folks on board enjoying her. I think there will be some good on the water videos in the future.
When y’all started mixing the resin , I could smell that smell. Maybe just a memory but I could smell it. Nice boat.
I like your variety, can't say for sure but I think I like boats the best, then variations of campers and toy haulers, then cars, but the '57 Chev is special!
finaly boat video's love them, also like the car videos but love you're boat video's
Good job
Whenever you work on anything, remember, dont be scared. A project can smell that fear and get cantankerous 😂
I like these episodes when you fix with the boat. 😁
I love how y'all try anything together!
I'm looking for a used boat and watching y'all's stearn fix has me thinking in a different direction.🤔
Excellent work! Look forward to continued work on this boat project. Thank you both and God bless you!
You guys amaze me. I would never take on doing a fiberglass repair. Keep up the great work and I’ll be watching ✌️
Hey if I learned anything from Norm Abram on "The New Yankee Workshop" on pbs growing up is you can't ever have enough clamps LOL, he had a small fortune in clamps.
Got the fiberglass down, now time to build a airplane :)
I watch a lot of boating channels but love how you use your automotive skills to do boat repairs. Keep it up.
Fantastic job! I'm excited to see what you put in for an engine!
Aaron and Emily you guys are simply just full of AWESOMENESS! After you are done and proven it won’t leak anyone you will charrish it to no-end! It’s not a waste as long as you satisfied. And really you can probably purchase a brand new boat, maybe even bigger with money you earned from UA-cam off the videos from the boat. The person that sold it to you know what was wrong with it. They abused that boat and ran that transome on land. You guys are AWESOME!
Love you guys living the free life.
Your attention to the details always makes me want to watch. Emily did an outstanding job with the template I know how difficult it can be.
It’s not over kill it perfectionism. The best you know how!!🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍
My heart goes out to you two,íve worked on so many Cars,boats and motorcykels and i love your videos 😅
Thanks for the reminder to buy Merch! Soooo.... glad you two are doing what you do!
We sure do appreciate you!!!
Gargantuan project! Super interesting and you two are rockin it!
Luv a good boat video, looks like y'all did a good job too. 👍👍👍👍👍
Enjoying watching you two. I had a 93 3055 with twin 5.0L chevy's and I had solid stringers up until the time I traded her in. My issues was osmotic blistering.
Keep up the good work. Looks like a winner to me. Solid and secure. When the clamps ate removed you'll feel even better 👍
You should cap that stringer with a heavy gauge upside down U shape, through bolted across the stringer and it would give you a solid, fore ever engine mount .
Great job guys! Cant wait to see what you drop in....Get it done CCL is full and summer is here, see Y'all out on the lake:)
Thank you for your update and keep bringing them videos we all love them out here in Pennsylvania
While you have a engine out I would replace the circulator pump(Water pump) and water pump impeller on the lower unit. Do everything that looks original on it to avoid getting stranded.
As one who has helped doing this job in the past, WELL DONE!
Been there done that, I used sea cast , make a form pour it in , then fiberglass it up, 3x stronger then the wood, can do the transom and stringers, works great. Less time doing it too
Only intoduced to your channel about a month or so ago. I've been catching up on some older ones and FSG is becoming one of my favorites. I love the information, the laughter and wholesome entertainment from you both (and Emily's Mom and the kid and whoever else joins in). For me this channel is on par with VGG and
Sleeperdude. The involvement and love of family that shines through... it's just a breath of fresh air in a world that often seems to be falling apart. Keep up the great content, and thank you.
You guys made that look easy. Nice job.
I’ve been watching “Sailing Seabird” with Marina and Stu. They’ve been rebuilding a Gulfstar 41 sailboat in France. They’ve been working on it for something like 2 years. Watching you rebuild your transom has me laughing, as I’ve been binge watching Marina and Stu basically rebuild their boat from the bottom up…. Sometime in the coming weeks I think they’ll finally get around to maybe putting in their new (for them) engine. Will still be a long time before Seabird hits the water.
I’ve been watching you on your adventures with your Bayliner. From the beginning until your second season when your Malibu temporarily died…😁 Now found this one… Emily, You and Aaron remind me of Marina and Stu. Watching Aaron saying how he really doesn’t know what he’s doing working on the transom is like a replay of listening to Stu saying the same thing as he learns how to fix Seabird. Maybe you both should contact each other. Someday down the road I’d love to see them on your boat and you two on theirs. Just so you know, I’m now subscribing to your channel as well. Keep up the good work! All the Best,
Tommy in Nola! 👍🏻🍻💙😎
Yahoo!!!!!! Back in the water 💦 before you know it!!! Greatness Shows!!!
Great in depth coverage of the procedures. Y'all's banter back and forth is what makes your channel so informative and easy to follow. I've never owned a glass boat, but did transom work on my 1965 36' Trojan mahogany cruiser. It is a bit different in that my boat was a twin engine, but the clean out and prep work is the same, in procedure, anyhow. Start with a clean area and build out. Good luck on the stringers and mount placement. While you are in there is the time, for certain! Love your channel, started out Emily in the shop when "The Kid" was a munchkin. Here for the duration. I am a pilot as well, so I really enjoy the flying segments. Peace...
I think you two did a good job. Wouldn't it be nice to have a 427 engine in that hole with Twin Turbos? Naa probably be too much. That is a nice boat you have. Be safe God Bless.
Good to see you working on the boat can't wait to see what engine you go with.
Kids, that’s a lot of work but I promise it will be worth every minute of it!
Go enjoy a nice sunset cruise soon!
This boat fixing/upgrading has been super fun to watch can’t wait to see it out on the water eventually!
You two are doing an awesome job, and another great video. Thanks for sharing with us
Frickin Awesome ❤
Great job you two. Did I here you say engine swap? Awe no the big block gone? diesel swap? Ls? Who knows find stay tuned and find out. Can't wait to see what is next.🤔 😁👍👍
i'm waiting for the camper t=shirt!
I love the teamwork to say the least. You guys are great. I live on the CA Delta and been around boats for many years. I appreciate the dialogue that you have given us on redoing the transom. No easy job for sure.
Just amazes me how well the two of you work together. I would say you are going to have a very solid transom.
That is a beautiful boat.
Dang guys! I love how y’all just tackle it. It’s such an inspiration!!
We sure do appreciate that!!! ♥️♥️
I enjoy your videos and have to agree with 16:48 "less words more work" idea...I just go to 2X speed and read the captions...Please understand, I like you guys. live in Dallas and as I said I like your videos and the work you do and it's great seeing you all back on the channel....
Looking good. 😊😊 stay safe, you two.
Your red Cummins T-shirt is one of the rare ones that haven't been 'reimagined' with your scissors. 😂
I have loved the 5k boat series from the beginning. As someone who owns a nearly identical boat, it's great to see you reviving her! Cant wait to see the repower!! Keep up the great work and stunning views!!! ❤
the first boat i ever bought used the guy i got it from told me // a boat is a hole in the water that you pour money into. and he was right. hope your hole is less costly than mine was LOL..
Another great video, boat looking great, keep up the great work ❤❤❤
Aaron and Emily: In my opinion, your transom repair, compared to a boat repair facility, is at least as good as most and way better than some.
Well it is not a quick job and your patience was rewarded. Excellent work.
Thanks for another guys !
Just
Got out of hospital this morning with a new knee, alright some Aaron and Emily to watch while icing😊
Yay!!!!!
Thousands of years from now someone is going to be digging for ancient artifacts and find your transom toldly in tack. Nice job.
All hail Da’ Cusa!!!
Hey guys. Great to see the boat back. I've a similar boat, similar age and similar issues 😂
Good Morning Family , I hope you are doing well and having a fantastic day today Beautiful Lady 😊❤ !
I sanded EVERYTHING and painted the whole engine compartment and painted it all Battleship grey. Came out really well.
I've taken to building out simple wooden frames and using expanding spray foam since my template making left a lot to be desired.
I did the same job on my 2655 5 years ago- you were lucky to have the slightly bigger engine room. The Coosa board is neat stuff! My stringers were pretty raunchy too, so I cut the tops off, chiseled the Cream of Wheat out between the remaining glass, and filled them with Arjay pourable ceramic.
And no one even got SNARKEY 🤣
I've had 5 boats each one bigger than the last and have never had to tackle a new transom. Wow nice work guys !!! Amazing Team work ! Yes I subscribed after watching this one- - - - - - 👏👏👏
What a great time to go over the entire engine and repaint the bilge. Love your page!
This is freaking awesome
I would have loved to be there helping!!! Retired marine technician here. In the winter time when mechanical side slowed down, I would rebuild transoms just like this, LOVED DOING THAT!!!
Aaron and Em, I’m disappointed that neither of you made engine noises while sitting where the motor goes. Seriously though, you guys are awesome!
I really enjoy how you guys work together so well. So fun to watch and learn. Thanks.
Now you know where the "C" in "yachting" came from! Great read on he problem and the road to repair. Lazy summer days on the lake coming!
Well done guys, my heart was in my mouth after the last one, really solid job xx🤗🤗
Great job
I'm eager to know what engine are they going to install.
All the best guys and lots luv from the U..K
Volvo Penta are commonly used in Marine but who knows.
Good, good stuff.
Who knew Aaron was such a great hammer drummer?!
He must have been listening to Phil Collins.
