Glad to see her progressing!! lol yeah I left out the part my help on the flip was my adult son and my teenage son. There were at least two differing opinions on how the flip should be done every step of the way. As these projects go minutes of progress will turn into hours of progress eventually. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every project gets better the more conflicting opinions there are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted July 16 Author Report Share Posted July 16 I flipped the cap this weekend to do the glass work needed. The first thing was to finish the glass work from the underside to put the cap back together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted July 17 Author Report Share Posted July 17 Also an interesting find. This is what a seat base looks like after some 30 plus years. The base had been covered up from topside, some years ago I would guess. This little nugget of rust is what is left from years gone by. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whichwaysup Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Man, I remember when my MA got to that point. When every step is moving you TOWARDS the integrity vs. away from it (deconstruction), it just gets fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted July 17 Author Report Share Posted July 17 Yes we all know projects take longer than we wish they did but it’s a hobby. My thought is always minutes I work on the boat turns to hours of progress eventually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted Wednesday at 09:34 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:34 PM Pushing the pebble a little more. So when I bought the boat from John there was a repair in the bottom of one of the storage boxes. The storage boxes under the seat area seem to be very thin for how large they are. I cut some of the OEM floor panels to size and then glued them to the bottom of the box. After it set I fiberglassed the edges to the box with a 6 inch strip all around. While I was there I laid one layer of glass to the bottom of the stern boxes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted Wednesday at 09:38 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:38 PM Also had a couple of previous patches on the front. That I placed a layer of glass over for good measure as well as grinding out the rusted out OEM seat base and covering it with glass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
