    Always love this dude's energy... He "brings it" to every thing he does. Looking forward to you and the boy's adventure. My dad always made it happen we were growing up... camping, white water canoe trips, even bike rides to the local dairy bar for a float on a hot summer day are some of my fondest memories! =D

    Hey Trip, I used to design fiberglass molds and I can tell you larger radiuses on those inside corners are much stronger. Working with what you have there, you could achieve larger radiuses around the floor by using a foam spacer with a convex radius as a filler material around the base, then roll several layers of glass over it to encase it. This would increase the strength a lot.

      Interesting thought, thanks for sharing your knowledge. If things get worse I will see about doing what you described. Right now it's looking decent and I'd like to avoid having to redo the gelcoat and match my splatter finish....

    I know this video is old, but trip, please try not to tear up the grass like that in the future. Seagrass is a precious resource, and while water quality issues are the biggest threat, prop and anchor scarring does not help. Love your vids and I know you are a steward of the outdoors so hopefully you'll understand.

    You need to push the slide and lock the arms open on the grappling hook anchor... I love it for a stern anchor for my 17ft bayboat

    • @TripSmith

      Typically I would lock the flukes open but since I was setting it manually I figured it wasn't necessary.

    Great little boat.. Micro skiff... With the anchor, try again with a short section of chain like you mentioned... And as for the weight distribution... If you want to speed... You want two thirds of the weight in the back third of the boat... Not really forward.... Keep the light stuff up there... Search UA-cam on bass boat set up and weight distribution... The porposing at high speed is the centre of gravity sitting forward of the surface area where the boat is planning on the hull... So more weight back will enable highest speed at plane... But at rest it's another story... Enjoy!!

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  4 роки тому

      Hey thanks for the interesting input! Never heard that about weight on plane for porposing.... I'll have to play with that some.

    Rokna Anchors are what Sailors use. Don't know if they make one that small but if you're looking for a set everytime they're considered the best. I've seen this style of boat build from Florida before as well and I really like it. I think it's an off shoot of the Gheenoe Brand as you talk about.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  4 роки тому

      Yep! I had a Rocna on my Montgomery 17 and I would trust that baby any day... There are some plastic anchors in the Rocna style I've been looking at ;)

    Hey trip. Gel coat cracks are typical. Maybe not something you want to see in a boat. I have a little experience in industrial fiberglass. I didn’t get to watch how you attached the console. Here’s something you can try. On the inside of the console, do several layups of fiberglass in the radius of the base. There’s a product referred to as woven roven. It’s more of a solid fiber material. Looks like a woven blanket with large string. You’re going to get a lot more strength with it because there’s less plastic (resin) and a lot more glass. You can layer it with the regular 3/4 oz stuff (I could be wrong with the size). The desire is to secure that console very tight to the hull. The inside might be a little ugly though. Then I would reinforce the outside radius with several layers of mat. Redo the gel coat and see if that helps. Obviously boats are made with molds. Any time you can get a consistent integral layer of fiberglass it will be very strong. Adding to an existing mold would require you to get down into existing fiberglass and build it back up in layers that connect the addition. Boat looks great!

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  4 роки тому

      I used 1708 fiberglassed mat on the inside to tab the box in. Didn't do the outside in an effort tokeep things "pretty" but maybe I should have now looking back. If things get worse I will tab the outside ;) Glad you like her!

  • @jolanni7
    @jolanni7 4 роки тому

    Trim plate on the outboard should be no higher than the bottom of the boat. It will possibly cavitate. That is where the prop is not grabbing all the water it should and you will hear the rpm's go higher with no gain in speed. I did not see any of that but you may have. Great job with the rig Tripster. Stress cracks are nothing but may have been avoided with structural glass on those joints. Sorry, I watched most of the restoration but I may have missed how that area was fastened down. You killed it buddy, just enjoy the boat and don't worry about the small stuff. Life is to short. Thanks for all the vids.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  4 роки тому +1

      I did get it to cavitate some but my goal was to keep it down to avoid that. I glassed it to the hull on the inside only to try to keep the outside "pretty".... So the cracks could have been avoided and in hind sight I wish I would have glassed the outside. Oh well..... I don't think anything is going to really break though lol

  • @subcoolboats75

    Hey Trip. "Hoang.Nguyen82" on IG here.. Glad to see your boat running finally. I was having porpoising issues too no matter what setting I did with my setup. I added a Shaw Wing cav plate and jacked the outboard all the way up. The outboard cav plate was over 1.5" under the keel, now its about 5" on top of the keel. It cured everything. No porpoising, barely any bow rise and hole shot is instant. These little boats don't like to be aft heavy. Also a RPM gauge will determine your max performance. Lastly, I haven't been able to find anyone who will ship Magnets for the seat cushions so that idea is being pushed back.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  4 роки тому

      Hey man! It was good to have her running ;) I wonder if the cav plate will reduce my top end speed? I'd like to have a tach and a temp gauge.... Ahhhh, hate to hear that about the magnets!

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  4 роки тому

      OK just looked them up. They are pricey but from what i'm reading it can improve top end.... I need one lol

    • @FishingWithHoang
      @FishingWithHoang 4 роки тому

      @@TripSmith The cav plate keeps water around your prop with the jackplate jacked up max height. Yes they are pricey but it will fix your porpoising issue, you can run super skinny when needed, and you may gain a couple of mph. Since you will be carrying camping gear and what not, with a cav plate, you don't have to worry too much about weight distrubution because the cav plate will keep the boat running smooth. That plate is one of the plates out there on the market. There is a few others. But they are not whale tails like the traditional fins you see at local stores.

Theres a fine line when trimming between porpoising and top speed! I couldnt tell I'd you have electric trim but if not it's hard to get the proper trim!!!! Good luck man and stay safe!!!

    Pretty sweet boat you’ve made there. Congrats. Not sure if you already did this but google search “Epoxy Fillets” in regards to your cracking on the center console you’ve built. Should resolve your issue, fiberglass doesn’t like 90 degree angles.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  4 роки тому

      Thanks Matt! Yea.... I think there is just to much flex on the bottom of the boat. After doing research these boats are known to have that issue of flexing which is not the greatest for gelcoat.

  • @chucksmith5002
    @chucksmith5002 4 роки тому

    Add a 4 ft. chain say 3/8 in links that way it will help keep the front of the anchor down . Well got to the part where they said it did not need a chain try a chain anyway . Toss that anchor before you loose your boat . Check on a Stainless Prop doesn`t flex like an Aluminum does . Seriously check on a Stainless prop . My friend has the Merc. 20 hp. I told him this he did it and got 6 mph more speed . Enjoyed the video

    Is this guy ever heard of an anchor chain?

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  4 роки тому

      Wouldn't have made a difference in this scenario. I was pulling diagonally just like and anchor chain would have done. (that's how the chain helps the anchor hold. In anchor testing videos, they don't always use chain.

      It was in the boat. A lot of time's I'm not wearing one on the boat. It's extremely typical in Florida to not wear one most of the time.
