@nugent - any booth would do me :-)


Few bits of progress,....

Cut out more of the deck to fit in the double fuel tanks. Routed the under deck conduit (that was a nightmare), 4 double skin bulkheads to get the old one out of, then i'd only gone and bought a new one that was 4mm wider

About 4hrs of dremeling and having to cut lots of holes in my deck :-( it was out and the new one in. Brute force and 3 men :-D

Anyhow, next was to reinforce the deck, make the recess for the fuel tanks and then seal everything up. All came together pretty nicely in the end, tanks in place, and all sealed up, will need few more coats of glass to level everything off. I'd ideally like to re glass the whole deck, but i cant find anything suitable to attack this black stuff. Just taking out the little patches on the rear of the deck destroyed 4 50grit discs on the grinder and took about 20 mins.

Next bit is the Hull, flipped it over yesterday with the aid of the new a-frame we'd built to hoist it and other projects. Still wasn't easy with 5 of us, boat is real heavy!

Finished sanding it up, just need to fill some of the scratches now before paint.

Can anyone offer any advice on the best way to repair this? There's a little flex in the glass on the very front of the hull:-

EDIT - Quite hard to show on the pictures, but basically you can see the layers flex when you apply pressure over about a 2 inch section. THe second photo theres no movement just a section where it's lost the "inner" glass filling.

Probably worth adding a couple of layers to strengthen it up. some of the resin will get into the matt that is exposed and should toughen it up as well.

Top coat finally gone on, along with a number of bugs. Just needs a few days to harden before buffing out

Finished spraying the hull on Sunday, and thankfully we've had 3 hot days since to bake the paint. Whilst waiting for it to dry and stop raining tonight we've started work on fettling the trailer. New alloy light boards made up with submersible LED lamps, stainless rivets etc. These are going to be hard wired as I'm fed up of pratting about with light boards, bulbs going loose, wires not making contact and finally loosing them on the motorway. One either side and are hinged. Marker lights going down the side as in the one journey I've had with it we nearly got side swiped about 3 time with other drivers not seeing the trailer on the back (somehow). Just need to spray them up and finish the wiring. Hopefully get the hull buffed out Friday before spinning it back over to finish the deck.



Oh and keel guard to fit too.

Quite a novice myself, this is only the second hull i've sprayed. I didn't flowcoat though, i've painted it with Acrythane as a few other forum member have done, just using advice i could find on here and any other forum really. Really pleased with the finish, minus the bugs.... but theres not that much you can do about that when you're painting outside and it's bright orange.

I used polykote 4k primer and Acrythane top coat, it's a 2k paint so you'd be sensible to use a respirator etc.

Flatted the hull with 120 grit, (i had some deep gouges and a hell of alot of antifoul to remove). Repaired the damage with gel coat filler. Loads more sanding and i finished on 240 before primer.

Flatted the primer down with 600 then top coated.

I'm by no means an expert so i've literally followed what i've found on the forum and so far so good, just need to buff it up. Being paint i've found you've really got to get a decent surface before spraying, gel may be more forgiving in that matter, but comes with its own cons.

Setup, i've only got a puny 25l compressor but the CFM isnt too bad so i can run ok but the compressor is always on, definitely would go bigger if you can.

Spray gun was this one - Scratch Doctor LVLP Gravity Feed Spray Gun - Waterbased , Solvent Paint & Primer | eBay again no complaints, used a series of water traps and pressure regulators, and i put a length of hose in a bucket of iced water before the first water trap (chepo air cooler :-)) worked well enough anyhow.

Looks great Tom, if I ever spray a hull I have quite a different method in mind.

- Step 1 Tie Hull to trailer
- Step 2 Drive boat to Bromsgrove
- Step 3 hand over to Edd at wesprayanything
- Step 4 Drive home and wait for the phone call to come and collect.

He did some great work on my SR4 with a new transom and such so would highly recommend.
