      I want to enjoy the process, but not as much as you. I have already started to haggle on my console design and wiring diagram, switch panel, and dash layout. I grabbed a Simrad unit on Black Friday and saved a few hundy. But I know better than asking the bride about a 115. That comes out of my side of the ledger.

      Thanks for watching. My neighbor has been by quite a few times. He stepped in and took the hoist back for me while I was working. He solid. I had to cut out most of the time we sat and talked through the hull. We may have went around it 5 times and talked for an hour for all I know. He’s a good dude.

    • @Bigeaux20
      @Bigeaux20  Рік тому +2

      It was very nerve racking until it was over and then I sat around wondering why I was so nervous. It was the most logical solution to the problem and it worked magically I must say. Now the nerve racking part will be filliping it back over. After the glass, the fairing, the primer, and the paint nerve racking parts.

    @billlambert2092 Рік тому +1

    Fine job. I’m a little bit ahead of you in a build. I would suggest to do as much of your fairing as possible before glassing since wood is much easier to shape than cured epoxy.

    • @Bigeaux20
      @Bigeaux20  Рік тому

      Yeah I spent the better part of a day fixing all the stuff I thought needed attention before I glass. I’m sure it will still have issues, but I have at least hit everything I thought I needed to do. Appreciate it.

  • @dougstarkey7128
    @dougstarkey7128 Рік тому

    Beautiful job on rolling it over. I have a lot of respect and admire your planning in how you rigged the boat to be flipped. As someone used to working alone you have taken a job that could have been very damaging to the hull and or dangerous to your self and made so anticlimactic and almost boreing to watch very well done! I am eager to see your next steps in finishing and glassing the hull. I will be eagerly waiting on your next video to see you sort out the few small imperfections you pointed out and see it come another step toward completion. Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you and your family.

    • @Bigeaux20
      @Bigeaux20  Рік тому +1

      Out of all the things I hoped for with the flip, boring was my best case scenario. I put a lot of thought and planning into it, and the mental exercise paid off. I’ve already started thinking about how to get it back over once the bottom is done. With a project like this it never stops with planning and preparation. Appreciate you watching and following along. let me hear from you as I go. It helps drive me through the extra work to procure all this stuff.

    Just rolled my boat over after glassing, fairing, and painting the bottom of the hull. That's why your video caught my attention. I'm building mine from scratch, making my own plans and patterns as I go utilizing my 30 years as an aircraft mechanic and applying the same methods used in aircraft construction. My build's taking longer, but I wanted to build mine specifically for inshore fishing so I could get into some of the places where kayaks go. I just got my boat on the trailer so I can start finishing out the interior. I'll be following your build closely as it looks like your build is going at a much faster pace than mine. Buying the plans helped speed up your build quite a bit! But as I watch your videos, I can say "Been there done that!"

    • @Bigeaux20
      @Bigeaux20  Рік тому +1

      Yes buying the plans is really what launched this and made it all possible and sped me along. A lot of respect for you doing it all whole cloth. I may entertain that down the road, but right now I am enjoying this process and have a group of fellow builders as a resource. It’s been amazing how I can reach out to actual yacht builders and get first hand feedback. But as you watch if you see something coming up that you figured out a solution to feel free to steer me in the right direction. Best of luck on your project.

    My only advice would be to use thinned down resin on wood for more penetration before glassing, you might have been planning too but no good telling you after 👍loving the build

    • @whitecompany18
      @whitecompany18 Рік тому

      Oh and if you are making peanut butter for filling use the finest wood Flour you can get ,and cut round spatula's of different sizes out of plastic that will work with the contours you want, saves an age in sanding 👍

    • @Bigeaux20
      @Bigeaux20  Рік тому +1

      Yes the typical process for me is to saturate all the wood with thin epoxy first, then either wet out the glass on my table, and put it in place, but on this big long runs on the bottom, I am just going to wet out in place. My hope is I have enough slow cure epoxy for all of this big run, but I may have to get into some of my medium cure. Temps should be cool enough it will all be fine, but we will see tomorrow.
