- The Center Console Boat Project @barrylukebuilds7894 continues forward. Half of the bilge has been foamed and half of the deck has been screwed down and fiber glassed into place.

Your skills are undeniable. I have learned a lot watching your content. Thank you. A lifetime of working hard with a good work ethic is on display. Bravo sir. I would be proud to work beside you.
Thank you nonya! Kind words always welcome.
You are a truly inspiration for most of us DIY’s
Thanks
Ron, thanks for the kudos! You are kind.
Barry
These are some of the most informative videos on DIY boat building I have come across so far. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks Buddy! I just try to film what I do. A lot of folks tell me I do things wrong. Never stopped me before so I guess I will just keep on puttering. Good Luck with your own project!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words.
Barry
Always deeply impressed by the Barry's work. Keep going on !
Thank you Francois! Debbie says Hello!

I don’t mind glassing , for me it’s relaxing somehow ! It’s going to be a great fishing boat !
Thanks Dave! Glassing here in my shop can be good or not so much, just like most things we do. Thankfully the good days still out number the not so much days.
Barry
That marking/measuring/templating method in other trades is called Tick Stick. I'm sure it originated with ship-building. Some wood treated with green stuff will outgas dangerous fumes when wet. There are different types, I don't know which one your plywood is treated with.
Thanks for commenting! I agree that wet treated plywood is a little scary to try to seal. But I gave it a while to dry and two years later, no issues!
Barry
can't wait to see finish product

That makes at least two of us!
Barry
Great work for one material you have looks very professional to be honest I've been selling boats for years and by the videos looks pretty good if your top could hold it I would go with a hard top made out of fiberglass with surfboard edges it looks plenty strong enough
Vince
Thanks for the nice words. For now I think the top will be canvas but in the future a hard top would make for a nice project. The correct hard top design could actually add a little strength.
Barry
You can put poly over epoxy all day long as long as there's no amine blush going on. If there is, you just sand it out like you did and it'll bond just fine. 🙂
STK
Agree, a little surface prep goes a long way.
Barry
Excellent project! Good attention to detail. I'm interested in the video on your learning post!
Leaning**
Thanks Kevin. The leaning post video should be ready some time next week. Thanks for watching, Barry
Hi Barry I so impressed!! I have the same boat and I’ll been doing this convention, so u have any pictures after you finished the boat
Julio
Thanks for the kind response. No finished pics yet because I am not finished. But I plan to continue with the videos as I move forward. So keep watchin!
Barry
@@barrylukebuilds7894 I can’t wait to see it!!! Thanks 🙏
Did you use thickened epoxy in the gaps between the deck boards? If not, was there a specific reason why other than you felt it wasn’t necessary for additional strength given the amount of glass you put down? PS I agree with another commenter that your videos are excellent. Thank you.
Tim
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words. It's been a while and I really don't remember. Seems like a good Idea though. My deck, with a combination of the short spans, good plywood, and adequate glass has been problem free and very stiff. I have had had problems with one section of the fairing compound separating from the polyester glass. Only in one area so I thing I mixed something incorrectly. Anyway, thanks again.
Barry
You’re doing a great job. Why don’t you invest in some knee pads? I can almost feel the pain .
John
Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words. You are not the first viewer to recommend knee pads. I don't know why I don't own a pair, working on my knees has just never been an issue. My Wife says I am not normal, maybe she is right.
Barry
I always thought chopped mat was a finish sheet due to it's lack of strength and easy sanding capabilities. I am just curious why it was your first layer. Also, 3 layers seems like just added weight for a deck? Maybe I am missing something.
Zachary
Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting. Lots of thoughts on fiberglass work out there in the world. I believe most folks use chopped glass as the initial layer as it holds more resin and helps wet out the next layers. It is not as strong as the woven fabrics but I wouldn't call it weak either.
Three layers might be a little heavy but the span between the center stringers was high, plywood is super strong but a little flexible, and I don't want cracks in my floor. So far no cracks!
Barry
@@barrylukebuilds7894If it works it works. But I would save the resin and just do the 1 or 2 sheets of woven stuff to weatherproof the deck. Epoxy resin would be the stuff to use since I believe its more weather resistant. Just my thoughts for discussion and if anybody else is watching/reading all this.
where do you get the plywood you used?
A local lumberyard, not a big box store. They stocked a better quality.
So gelcoat doesn't cure over epoxy. Does polyester resin cure over epoxy?
It's a complicated mess. The basic rule is to not use polyester, gelcoat included, over epoxy. It will cure but it's adhesion can be a less than optimum. I am defiantly a rule breaker and occasionally I pay a price for that.
Barry
@@barrylukebuilds7894 I can say from personal experience, gelcoat will NOT cure over bare epoxy. I was left with goop after a month of letting it sit. Temperature, ratio, everything was right. I ended up wiping it off and using a fairing compound meant for this specific purpose and then I had no issues.
What is the name of the stick your using?
Bo
Not sure what you are asking. If you are asking about the slick, it's just a generic term for a wide chisel meant to be pushed and not hammered.
Was that your question?
Barry
@@barrylukebuilds7894 At 0:56 you're saying some type of old technique. My question is, what is that old technique?
Marine grade only
Marine grade what?
@Shames O'Rourke Shames, thanks for the reply. I chose this plywood because I have had good results with it on prior projects. I am not applying the polyester resin to the plywood, It is going on top of the epoxy sealer. Again I have had good history with this method. Marine ply seems to rot extremely fast down here in the South, and I know if it is sealed perfectly it should not rot. But from looking at all of the You Tube videos dealing with rotten marine ply this must not be an easy thing to do. Anyway, thanks for watching! Barry
Never foam on boats....if water gets in it will never evaporates...and heavy as hell....never any foam...never....
Sorry man, I have to disagree. Closed cell foam will absorb only a small amount of water and all compartments are connected to gravity drain to the bilge pump. With the foam I get a stronger, quieter, safer boat.
The original foam was quite water logged, as was every thing else. But it was 40 year old foam technology and there were no provisions for the individual compartments to drain. The 6" layer of rotten leaves didn't help either.
Thanks for watching! Barry
I believe the titanic didn’t have foam.....
I'm pretty sure the coast guard dictates you must have foam in your boat.
waste of money using treated
Brian
Thanks for watching and I apricate comments but wondering, why would you say that?
Barry
@@barrylukebuilds7894 fiber glass will eventually delaminate due to the chemicals in the treated wood gassing out
I'm pretty shure you've watched the millions of videos of people digging foam out why the hell would you put foam in that don't make since
Might save someone’s life, might make the hull a little stiffer and maybe a little quieter.
