What's the benefit to a loader? Would it have any affect on my jc pump with a stock 455 Hardin motor or would it not be worth it?

Outboards / Re: I know ill get sh#% but
« on: February 09, 2013, 09:17:44 PM »
Oh I'm not great at fiberglass either but it really isn't that hard, just gotta get over it and do it. Aft least that's what I keep telling myself. As far as the motor I don't know what I want to do with it yet or what it's worth with the mounts. What parts did you rob from the small block? I still have a bunch of small/big block Chevy parts from my swap in my chevelle to the big block.

You better run and hide After a question like that........ Stringer replacement isn't hard just time consuming if its a full stringer and 1/4 stringers are a breeze and I thought you had a motor for this hull?

The ge is a yj pump just with a different intake. The only thing usable would be the bowl, nozzle and impeller.

Gelcoat / Paint / Fireberglass Repair / Getting ready to fix the hole
« on: February 08, 2013, 10:04:10 PM »
So After talking with Ralph Brunt and Glenn I think I have enough confidence to tackle this hole head on. So I will be using west systems, just which combination of there products. So the 105 epoxy, the 205 fast hardner, the pumps, I already have some 3m fiberglass mat and cloth I will use unless someone chimes in and recommends otherwise. I'm also considering the 404 high density filler and the 406 silica filler for shaping the the strake? Still kinda lost at this, but hey it's only glass, I can cut it out and redo it right.
Hey Glenn, I have seemed to misplace my notes I wrote while talking to you. Although I do remember the gold bond comment and I can't remember the stuff you said to use on the plastic for that smooth glass trick.
So any other recommendations are appreciated and thank you Glenn and Ralph for the insight.

congrats! we're peeing on everything and so far no +'s or triple lines, etc. who wouldve known that it would be so difficult?see what you need to do, is on that last thrust you need to make it count, jam your thumb up your ass and get that extra 1/2 inch. BAM 9 months later crying baby. True story.
Congratulations!
I remember once at 4:30 AM my first wife throwing something at me (I was still in bed, it was tax season so she was getting ready for work). I said "What the hell is this?"
She said, "Its a stick, I pee'd on it, it's positive you asshole, what do you think?"
I said "At 4 AM, you can pee on anything you want" and went back to sleep.
Wasn't until I was driving to work 4 hours later that the mornings events sank in and I hadda call her, lol.

Hulls / Re: Strake repair
« on: February 04, 2013, 08:44:52 AM »
So basically the lightly shaded area inside the dashes is the damaged area, the dark shaded areas are where the glass is completely gone, and the large circles are where I would drill through to know where I need to cut on the inside and the small dots are where I would cut out the wood on the inside. This way I could clean out and grind on the glass from the inside and lay it on through there then put the piece of backing wood I cut out back in and glass over it like it is now.

Hulls / Re: Strake repair
« on: February 04, 2013, 08:18:08 AM »
So im thinking I might drill 3 small holes through the damaged strake in the form of a triangle so im able to cut out a small piece of the backer wood from the inside of the hull with my dremel. That way I have a 2 inch wide by 4 in long hole in the hull.....crazy right but this way im able to access the strake from the inside. Lay down a few layers of woven mat and chop mat to form it from.the inside then either stick the piece of wood back in and put a few layers over that and that way I still have the finished look inside the hull. Then I can flip it and build it up from the bottom with a few layers of chop mat shape it and touch up the paint. Sound good? I just kinda form this idea after watching all these videos on fiberglass repair. Or am I better off not cutting all the way through to patch it and just flip it and build it up from there?

Hulls / Re: Strake repair
« on: February 03, 2013, 08:37:54 AM »Well, go figure. Grind it out further, feather it well, get at it.My comment was in response to kaotyk
As far as ME doing it? Bring the boat here and I'll do it in a heartbeat. My son might come over and do it, but that's between you and him, he turns 18 this week, I can no longer speak or enslave him...........
But seriously, get some fiberglass, a little roving and some mat, grind it out and feather the edges. Clean it good with Acetone or MEK (My preference) Then roll large strips of fiberglass with resin on a piece of cardboard (Longer and wider than the hole) then stick one up there before it kicks and roll it into the sides, front and back and make sure it don't sag. Then grind that and start smaller to bigger, to fill the hole. Next strip a little larger, same thing, and so on and so on. I've only done it on a Biesemeyer, and that took 7 layers. I Imagine most non-race hulls are more than that.

Projects / Re: 71 kona project
« on: February 02, 2013, 11:58:06 PM »Wow, Some people should not attempt to be shade tree mechanics!
Just flip the hull upside down and fix it. It isnt that hard of a fix. Just grind off all that drippy resin and clean it up so You can see what it really looks like. then build it up with some csm and shape it back to the right shape.
Here is a pic of what they should look like. This was My 73 Kona, after I blueprinted the bottom. Same hull as yours.
Your boat was beautiful man sucks what happened, well got the patch all chiseled away and well shit. But it doesn't go all the way through

Hulls / Re: Strake repair
« on: February 02, 2013, 11:47:45 PM »i would grind out all of the damage, feather back ALL of the gelcoat in that area and get it back to glass in about a 4-6" area around where the damage is. once everything is clean, id mix up some epoxy resin and filler to a peanut butter consistency in small batches and slowly start building up the strake. dont do one giant glob. you want to make sure the resin is curing properly, adhering properly, and a giant glob is going to have a lot of heat with your hardener. once its built up, sand it into shape, slap some body filler on it to make it smooth, then either primer and paint or gelcoat the area to make it pretty.
You would? Well you should come on down then. And bring your polishing stuff while you at it lol. Your recommendation was also suggested to me earlier by a friend that does glass work but "doesn't have the time to help" so that was how he explained to me how to repair it but without the details
