HOW TO MAKE A SMALL BOAT FIBERGLASS REAR DECK FOR POLING PLATFORM DIY START TO FINISH
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 січ 2024
- 18 months ago, the transom on our J16 Carolina Skiff cracked and our boat has been dry ever since. In November of 2023, we finished the entire transom rebuild along with redoing our rear deck in order to support a poling platform. After a long and frustrating journey, the skiff if water ready and we are fishing on it several times a week! In this video we will walk you through the process of creating a truly amazing rear deck to support our new poling platform. This DIY video will show you some of the things I learned along the way as this was the first time I have ever done a project of this magnitude. We hope that you can gain some ideas, wisdom or insight if you are going to rebuild your small boat or skiff.

I am BLESSED to WATCH Priscilla be modified to be even more of a Rip Some Lip fishing machine to bro💪🙌😎🙏 #WORTHIT
Amen brotha!!!! Thanks for the ongoing support!!!
Awesome work
Thanks bro
I'm 1 sanding away from from spraying top coat on my Wahoo. You're not too far down the road from me brother. Great breakdown on your project. 👍
Hey thanks bro. I’m glad it’s over! I started to grow weary towards the end. I hope your wahoo treats you well!!!!
Yes, doing glass work in heat and sun is a no-no. But the main issue on the first side was that you doused the glass and THEN tried to put it in place. You learned your lesson on the back side by placing the piece of glass over a the surface that had wet resin on it and then put resin over it.
In fact, glassing on a hot day isn’t so bad if you use a slow setting epoxy resin.
For sure bro. Big lesson learned
Was that fred from ME tell him strech says wassup
Haha. Yeah buddy. I’ll tell him
Where did you get the metal support feet under the deck from?
I had a Fred of mine from @tacracks on IG - aluminum fabrications make them for me. Keith is amazing
Bro ! What ever your day job is dont give it up ok !
Interesting. Lucky for you it’s not my day job… but I’d love to hear what you mean…
For a first time doing a project like this, I’m quite pleased with it
@@watchyourlip3209 you make youtube videos brother, right here on youtube are countless videos about fiberglassing, your content is interesting enough but your glass work is boo 😢 don’t mind me though, my comment was to be taken as funny criticism, my apology if i touched a nerve 👋
@@ratballs007 haha. No worries. I was just curious. I’d much rather make fishing vids but stuff like this earns evergreen $. I included all of the “warts” of the project for transparency, authenticity and showing reality for guys like me that dream of doing a project like this but have never done anything like this before. I had a lot of advice from guys that know what’s up but wanted to get my “hands dirty” and learn while documenting what we did.
It’s solid as a rock now. I learned a lot - but most of all, that I don’t want to do fiberglass work professionally!!!
Thanks for watching and for taking time to comment
What is this foam board for deck material
its a marine foam that they sell at marine fabricator locations. There are different thicknesses for different types of projects. I do not recall specifically what it is called.
I'm so mad. I just paid 400$ for a 5gal thing of resin
Woah!!!!! From where?
