It's go time Rick

The ole girl's already been sanded. Bondo'd the lip around the entire boat to prevent future splitting. Though it hasn't split yet. But an ounce of prevention's worth a gallon of cure.

However you can see the splits or cracks where the starboard and port sides meet the transom. Is my boating terminology correct so far?

Not to step on toes, but you should try bondoglass out on those seams rather than straight bondo. Otherwise I'd get some resin and glass tape to go over them.

I would cut the shit out and start fresh

Fuck your toes rick

Ahh, gotcha. I guess I've just seen it too many times where people just use bondo and call it good.

we're leaving the outside wall of the transom. Cutting out the inside wall and taking out the old wood. Gonna replace the wood with a dense foam and rebuild the inner wall with glass

Pretty sure it was a chapelle reference meaning he doesn't give a shit about stepping on Ricks toes.

Ha

He usually uses it to scrape the mud of the soles of his waders.

actually a helluv an idea

Looking good Red. You might want to look into 2 part, 8 or ten pound density urethane foam to repair the transom. Also I would reccomend you look into Interprotect 2000E epoxy to seal the fiberglass work when you are all done with fiberglassing.
Looking forward to seeing the boat all finished.

10-4 Rick

Coming along nice man, you've got skills.

thanks but wish I had the skillz. My buddy has taken the lead and walking me through it all. Never done any glass work. Not that it's hard but just never done any

That baby is gonna hunt this year !!

Glasses the bottom half of the lip around the entire boat. The. Ran outta cloth. Thought 3 yards woulda been enough. I'll flip her over and finish next weekend. Work tomorrow. But it's coming along nicely with no hiccups

Yea she's gonna hunt. When she's done she'll scull like a Cadillac.

I love bringing old duck boats back to life!!

Very cool Red
