What Did You Do To Your Boat This Week?

[N2013]

Down in the bilge doing a little cleaning, caught a whiff of gas. Found my fuel fill line had a little crack in it. Back to Trotac I go.

Stitched the bottom panels together and twisted them into shape.

Sold the old one. It found a new home in Vancouver at the Burrard Marina.

I’ve been debating on doing this. After I see yours, I’m still debating. Haha. Looks like a lot of work.

About 30 hrs for the hull only just the side was done in the picture I’m pretty happy with it but still not good enough that I’m gonna nyalic or shark Hyde it this time
I’m gonna try one section with nyalic under neath the bow where the chine is and see how it holds up before I do the whole boat

I was there when it was in the yard area yesterday. They launched it afterwards I believe. Old school boat.

Nice. It’s always been a great boat to fish out of. I hope they get the same amount of fun out of it as we did.

In the middle of a 26' Osprey Short cab outboard conversion. This week so far, picked up fiberglass, gelcoat, resin, putty and other misc fiberglass items, continued to vacuum water out from around the fuel tank, and drank a whiskey in it picturing a warm summer day catching fish.

Tied my shelter logic tent covering the boat down better so it didn't blow away down the street!

I've got a few. Its been kind of a rabbit hole project once I started getting in to it.

Maybe once the weather gets nicer and I actually start making good progress again I'll start one. I dont want people to know just how slow its going!

I will send you my coordinates. Do you work for beer?

Anyone ever get vinyl wraps done on aluminum boats like the Aussies and Kiwis do? Seems like quite the thing down there. Surprised I don't see it here. Doesn't mean it isn't done here. I just haven't seen it.

Some have done it here but not with the full slate of graphics and sponsors like you see down under. It is done instead of painting, in solid colours.

Roger. Seems like a decent way to change the look of a boat and not have to deal with painting aluminum.
