Let the sanding pad do its own work, putting force on the back of the grinder is what is killing it. Yes it takes 3 times as long to get the job done but the grinder will last a life time.
Your ribs in the cabin glassed into the hull are the kind of building I like to see! Not many do much beyond repairing the original structure never thinking that most boats could be much stronger structurally and should be. Same with stiffening the underside of the foredeck. Well done.
good idea to glass some tube side to side next to your front deck rib and in the transom for wiring makes life easier and neater great fibreglassing very neat ,keen to see the transom layout are you utilising the back boxes.
Gday mate good work ,ive done 4 restos not on as big a craft as this but it reminds me of the 416c haines i restored .i used structural ply for the new transom with glass in the middle and screwed together with brass screws then glassed on both sides as one piece basically double thickness across the whole rear . I did mine the opposite of yours and removed the outer skin some say it isnt a good thing but leaving a 100mm edge maintained the integrity of the hull . Lots of hours and work go into restos and i dont think people really grasp the concept of how much thought has to go into when and how your going to do something ive subscribed to your channel as i want to see this sucker when its finished and maybe pick up some usefull info along the way cant believe you burnt out 4 maks the ozito are just toys all my tools ar makita wont use anything apart from bosch tough tools .
love the workmanship, narration and pace your videos move at bud - more workie and less talkie! Makes great viewing. Just subscribed looking forward to your next vid.
Have you got any advice or episodes about where you buy your glass and supplies from? Is all glass created equal (I know about chop and double bias, etc, but is glass from china the same as glass from Australia)?
Hey Mark I'd like to do a flat back like this on my 565L, would you suggest removing the engine when doing it? Or would it be ok to leave it but just cover it well, so it doesn't get any dust?
Probably easier to remove the engine, just makes the space a lot easier to access and work around. You don’t want the dust or and resin and glass getting on your engine or control cables
I am currently rebuilding a 16r . Just like to know if you used unwaxed or waxed when putting ply transom up against glass transom and when fitting thermolite transom to ply. I am wondering if using waxed it may not hold as well as unwaxed. Thanks
It’s about 600mm wide, 900mm long (across the transom) and about 500mm deep. But it has lots of angles so I can’t give you all the measurements without a drawing haha
@@ADVENTURES_ADRIFT cheers! So 600mm from the aft side of the transom forward to the bulkhead hey? The reason I ask is I'm doing the same to a Bertram 20 which is very similar to the haines (except for a greater deadrise angle) Thanks for the response- really appreciate it 👍.
From the Aft Edge of the transom to internal wall of the well, it’s around 600mm. I think the sea devil I got the measurements off was 710mm from the back of the boat to the inside edge of the boat where you would lean up against. Does this help?
The thermolite was a pre sanded product, I didn’t for the floor because I wanted to keep a nice smooth flat area and didn’t want to risk gouging it. I did however sand it with 40 grit on the orbital before laying it down and glassing over.
@@ADVENTURES_ADRIFT ahhh copy, cheers. Planning on picking up a v17l soon as a bit of a project and have been watching your series on repeat to work out how to do the glassing and everything as I’ve never done it. You explain your methods really well and show you doing it so it’s helping heaps, can’t wait to see it finished keep up the great vids! (Might even see it out and about as I fish out of bermi mostly)
Glad you’re enjoying the build mate, if you have any questions feel free to send me a message on instagram @adventures_adrift_aus. Happy to help out and share what I’ve learnt.
Finally a video that makes me positive to take on my project again.
Tnx 😀
Maaaaaaaaaaaaate we need a new episode on the 600r lol
Also kudos on glassing the shoe box top construction together to make the hull and deck a mono structure.
Let the sanding pad do its own work, putting force on the back of the grinder is what is killing it.
Yes it takes 3 times as long to get the job done but the grinder will last a life time.
Well done. Huge job. Your almost at the finish line!
3 DeWalt grinders and I have had them all 5+years put them all through hell... They all work, one after being under water for a bit😂
Your ribs in the cabin glassed into the hull are the kind of building I like to see! Not many do much beyond repairing the original structure never thinking that most boats could be much stronger structurally and should be. Same with stiffening the underside of the foredeck. Well done.
Im loving it mate, doing an unbelievable job 👍👍

great fibreglassing very neat ,keen to see the transom layout are you utilising the back boxes.
Thanks mate, I’ll be having batteries in the rear compartments on ether side and obviously all the plumbing and wiring that goes with boats.
I´m not bored! Keep going 🙂
Good video mate

Thanks for watching mate! It’s certainly a long painful process but there’s light at the end of the tunnel!

Curious where you sourced the glass? Cheers and great work

Awsome

@@ADVENTURES_ADRIFT Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Unwaxed is fine, it’s all sealed up and will fully cure in that scenario
Don’t throw those grinders, you’ve just done the brushes. They’re cheap easy fix.
What size engine will you run? 250 ? 300? And any idea where you’ll store ice box/chill bin, looking good
I’ve got 200hp Yamaha to go on the back. Under seat ice box storage
The flat board you are using. Where did you get it.
Are you talking about the Thermolite / Coosa ?
@@ADVENTURES_ADRIFT
Yes. And the last video was the gel coat on the bottom the trans. Are there more. I can’t find them
what is the measurements for the well saves me ftrying to find a sea devil
Hey mate, flick me a massage on instagram if you can. I’ll send photos of the measurements. Just easier than explaining it all. @advetures_Adrift_Aus
Nice build mate
What made you use the sea devil 620 as a guide?
My mate has one and I like the transom layout. It’s simple but works really well
Great vid! Been watching the whole build process, good stuff! What's the dimentions of the splash well?
I’ll have to get measure and get back to you Phil.
It’s about 600mm wide, 900mm long (across the transom) and about 500mm deep. But it has lots of angles so I can’t give you all the measurements without a drawing haha

Typo - should of written 500mm

Did you sand back all the thermalite board before glassing on the build? Only saw you do it in this vid
The thermolite was a pre sanded product, I didn’t for the floor because I wanted to keep a nice smooth flat area and didn’t want to risk gouging it. I did however sand it with 40 grit on the orbital before laying it down and glassing over.

Hi
Please...less talk, more walk. Good, informative video.
