Yess! Looks shmick, Im one of those sick fks that watched 10% of the spearing and 100% of the boat building. I started mine 2 years ago, moved 1500kms, mid house rennos right now and this channel is the motivation i needed to get stuck back into it! Cheers!
I know really basic. But it would be great to maybe do a basic glassing video. Like 5 things you need to know to rebuild a boat. 1. Tabbing stringer/floor 2. Bogging, 3. Glass lay up in different places e.g structural and non-structural 4. Cutting stringer or bulkhead first time correctly using correct measurements and tips 😂 5. Fairing the outside of a hull the right way in detail
Hi, just found your site, I have the exact same boat a live three and a half hours south of you, love your work and I will follow till finished and also check out previous episodes. Many thanks
There were times where I just flat out didn't want to do anything on it. Other times when I got frustrated with it. I just stepped away from it for a few days sometimes weeks and then come back fresh. You will get there mate, just chip away at it!
Awesome, it's a great thing to have a go at! I'm less familiar with the later model haines but I'm sure it will have that Haines deadrise and a good ride to go with it!
NICE👌💯 I’m just pulled a project 2004 Haines 5.6 bow rider into the shed 🤔🥺🙄 now that I’ve had a proper look, I really don’t know how the great chunk of motor hadn’t fallen off long before now😳 there is no real structural integrity , to how it was originally made🤬🤬🤬 I’m thinking that squaring the whole back off and building a pod with dive boarding platform and proper ladder may be the go. I think I’ll get a few people to have a look before I go mad with any power tools😇
Awesome mate, it’s an exciting time starting a project like that! Enjoy the process mate, and talk to as many people as possible. Every little bit of information helps so much!
Hi mate, any chance of doing a rundown on the build cost? I’m in Melbourne about to finish a caravan Reno and would like to know if a boat is my next project. Thank you for all the details on the boat re build, really nice work
Thanks for the question mate. I’ve got most of the costings there. My rebuild was basically starting from scratch, including tooling and full fit out. If you have or can find something that already has a decent motor and electrics and just requires a rebuild. This is definitely they way to go about it financially at least. I have planned to do a bit of a list up and throw it into a vid, I might move it up the priority ladder a bit and get it out sooner rather than later haha.
All good, I don’t think I did mention it. Cabosil and resin bog, and while it was still wet I tabbed them in over top of the bog. Did a full layup over top of that again.
Thanks for the info mate. Back when I did it I actually did use a stirrer on the cordless for the bigger pours in the main stringer section. There was definitely still inconsistency in the mix when the weather was less favourable. A lot larger bubbles when I did test runs in high humidity.
@@ExhaleAdventures the inconsistency only comes from not mixing long enough, incorrect part a and b. Raining outside doesn't really stuff it up that much how I know been using that foam for 20 years, I did like the grind job you did it was spot on
When you do the four glass lay up where stringers or bulkheads are going. Is that underneath the thermolite, then you glass from hull over stringer to other side hull? So a sort of bottom glass then top glass of each subfloor component? Or is it just the latter?
@@ExhaleAdventures I'm still thinking about it. But would need to find the right boat. Maybe a V17 or V19. Have you broken it in yet or still waiting for better weather?

Thats awesome mate! What hull are you working on?
@ExhaleAdventures 213C
I've owned a 635l(same hull) and it was awesome so can't wait!

Awesome mate, thanks for checking the vids out, have a look at the next few episode mate. Been getting out a bit in her recently. Cheers 🍻
Really enjoyed this video mate! So very relatable, gives inspiration being about 18 months behind!
There were times where I just flat out didn't want to do anything on it. Other times when I got frustrated with it. I just stepped away from it for a few days sometimes weeks and then come back fresh. You will get there mate, just chip away at it!
@@ExhaleAdventures cheers mate - isn't that what makes it so much more rewarding! Congratulations on getting it done. Enjoy sending it from here!
Awesome mate, I really loved the detail in this. More detail in the next 3 I hope!
As the build went in I took more and more footage so you can expect plenty more little nuggets of info in the next few as well
Love this mate, looking forward to the rest of it !
Thanks mate, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🍻
Such a good boat. This was great to watch, cheers for sharing the insight! Stay safe, have fun! 👍😁👌
As always thanks for checking the vids out mate. I really appreciate it 🍻
epic rebuild. wow.
Thanks mate 🍻
Will be watching closely! Plan on doing a 540F with a pod in the next year or 2.
Awesome, it's a great thing to have a go at! I'm less familiar with the later model haines but I'm sure it will have that Haines deadrise and a good ride to go with it!
Good video mate. Glad you did it yourself. More rewarding I reckon.
Thanks mate, it's been a fun project thats for sure. Make sure to check out part 2-4 over the next few weeks 🍻

Looks awesome so far.
Thanks so much for checking the vid out. There is plenty of long days still ahead in this haha.
Awesome work mate
Thanks mate, stay tuned for the next episode 🍻
Nice
Thank you 🍻
Great video mate!
Thanks mate, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🍻

When you first got it, I’m pretty sure you said a year and she’d be ready😂
Yep lol. If the boat builder did it probably would have been quicker than a year haha. I’m glad I took the time to do it myself in the end though.
Apologies if I missed it. I’m about to do similar to a cobia I got. How did you stick stringers down.
All good, I don’t think I did mention it. Cabosil and resin bog, and while it was still wet I tabbed them in over top of the bog. Did a full layup over top of that again.
The reason your foam didn't work so good was hand mixed,, needs to be stirred using drill and mixer, fast and for about 45 seconds
Thanks for the info mate. Back when I did it I actually did use a stirrer on the cordless for the bigger pours in the main stringer section. There was definitely still inconsistency in the mix when the weather was less favourable. A lot larger bubbles when I did test runs in high humidity.

Yeah that’s right mate, 4 layers layup went down first and then the stringers were bogged tabbed and then 4 layers up and over the stringers as well
@@ExhaleAdventures super. Thank you 🙏🏻
Would you do it again? Or if later you wanted an even bigger boat would you do it again?
Yeah I definitely would. Now I know what I’m doing the time frame would be a lot different haha.
@@ExhaleAdventures I'm still thinking about it. But would need to find the right boat. Maybe a V17 or V19. Have you broken it in yet or still waiting for better weather?
Have you kept a cost breakdown throughout the build?
Yeah I have pretty well. I’ve got most receipts and I’ll do a pretty thorough break down in the final vid 🍻
When you say you bog in the floor, are you just bogging the gaps between thermolite sheets. I can see you bogging the screw holes.
If you have another bit of a watch, the two main sheets have already been bogged, glassed and tabbed in when I’m doing the full glass layup.
@@ExhaleAdventures I’ll have another look. Thank you!
Yewwwww
Thanks for checking it out mate 🍻
What is the foam product?
It’s a two part closed cell pour foam, Fibrefinish in Townsville sell the same stuff. I got mine from our local boat builder though.
Eco 330 two part foam or equivalent, nuplex, fibrefinsh or NCS fibrglass
