Wow, ambitious job! I am looking fwd to watching the entire series. At this point I am expecting to see a pod installed in the next few episodes and perhaps removing the skids and replacing with flexible rollers. Thanks for the video, exciting!
Thanks very much! It turned out a lot more work then I thought when I first got it lol hopefully get some time to work on it in the next couple of weeks. I’ll post more asap
You definitely know your way with fiberglass! Your methods remind me of learning about fiberglass and advanced composite repairs in aircraft maintenance school!
Love the idea of the actuators for the roof! I hope you end up doing it, we have been completely happy with ours and we are in year 2 of using them! Love the videos, so much time and effort on your part, to be able to include us on this build, but if you ask me........well worth it!!!!
I’m definitely going to! I’m happy you like yours. Thanks I’m glad you like em I enjoy doing them. But I do news it for an excuse to not get itchy sometimes. Wish I could get a solid month on it with good $$ in the bank
Crazy that the Yacht stayed afloat. I bet it had some near misses amongst the mooring field, dragging its anchor during a gale. Whats life without a few mistakes and lessons like that. Great yarn
I am pretty sure my 28 has the same woop in the bottom back near the transom. I have only just started the same task with it. I am starting to realize how big a job I have committed to. All the best with yours Michael
I think i gotta make it flat cos I’ve taken so much off the sides and it’ll be easier to make everything even then the funny “whoop” thanks for the comment. You should put your project on UA-cam if its gonna be a big one! Good luck to you to!
We always heavily blocked the stern to stabilize the craft back on the chines then it is a matter of jacking with safety blocks always in place. A piece of channel iron with a chunk of pipe welded to it that captures the jack head works fine (pad the channel). Then jack the bow up with the jack just forward of the tipping point midship, slide the trailer back until the axle is at the jack, block and lower, rinse and repeat. If you have an gantry of course it is easy. Block the stern and pick from the bow with a strap. The trick is to have your blocking so the boat can never fall more than a fraction of an inch.
A tractor 😳 A tractor 😳😳 Of course he’s got a tractor 😂😂🤙 Keep em coming, Mick 👌 I love that there’s ALWAYS some progress made 👍 Nice work on the tri axle ally trailer 👌 Love the humour in these now 😁 The yadda yadda yadda, long story short made me lol 😂👍 The bonus footage was way interesting. You don’t mind having a crack, aye!! That hull though 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
@@Micington LOL, I can’t argue with that 😊 I got a V twin motor scooter that lumps along a bit like your green machine. That’ll have to do me for now 😎👍👍
Hi Michael, I seem to remember reading that the first generation Formula 233's had a slight hook cast into the hull mold at the transom to act as trim tabs. Since Don Aronow likely took design ideas from Dick Bertram...the slight hook you pointed out is likely intended. I bet you can research this aspect. What year is your 25' Bertram?
Someone else said the same to me on Facebook. Thanks mate. I’ll either have to make sure it’s symmetrical or straighten up?? See what happens. I can’t remember the year model sorry.

Thanks mate! it never dragged anchor but a few bad looks from people or maybe i just felt guilty lol
You are becoming better and better everyday. I am learning a lot from your videos!
Thanks mate I’m glad !
