Maaaaaaaaaaaaate we need a new episode on the 600r lol

Finally a video that makes me positive to take on my project again. Tnx 😀

Well done. Huge job. Your almost at the finish line!

Let the sanding pad do its own work, putting force on the back of the grinder is what is killing it. Yes it takes 3 times as long to get the job done but the grinder will last a life time.

Your ribs in the cabin glassed into the hull are the kind of building I like to see! Not many do much beyond repairing the original structure never thinking that most boats could be much stronger structurally and should be. Same with stiffening the underside of the foredeck. Well done.

Also kudos on glassing the shoe box top construction together to make the hull and deck a mono structure.

I´m not bored! Keep going 🙂

3 DeWalt grinders and I have had them all 5+years put them all through hell... They all work, one after being under water for a bit😂

Im loving it mate, doing an unbelievable job 👍👍

Good video mate

Awsome

good idea to glass some tube side to side next to your front deck rib and in the transom for wiring makes life easier and neater great fibreglassing very neat ,keen to see the transom layout are you utilising the back boxes.

Thanks mate, I’ll be having batteries in the rear compartments on ether side and obviously all the plumbing and wiring that goes with boats.

Gday mate good work ,ive done 4 restos not on as big a craft as this but it reminds me of the 416c haines i restored .i used structural ply for the new transom with glass in the middle and screwed together with brass screws then glassed on both sides as one piece basically double thickness across the whole rear . I did mine the opposite of yours and removed the outer skin some say it isnt a good thing but leaving a 100mm edge maintained the integrity of the hull . Lots of hours and work go into restos and i dont think people really grasp the concept of how much thought has to go into when and how your going to do something ive subscribed to your channel as i want to see this sucker when its finished and maybe pick up some usefull info along the way cant believe you burnt out 4 maks the ozito are just toys all my tools ar makita wont use anything apart from bosch tough tools .

Thanks for watching mate! It’s certainly a long painful process but there’s light at the end of the tunnel!

love the workmanship, narration and pace your videos move at bud - more workie and less talkie! Makes great viewing. Just subscribed looking forward to your next vid.

Don’t throw those grinders, you’ve just done the brushes. They’re cheap easy fix.

Hi

Have you got any advice or episodes about where you buy your glass and supplies from? Is all glass created equal (I know about chop and double bias, etc, but is glass from china the same as glass from Australia)?

What size engine will you run? 250 ? 300? And any idea where you’ll store ice box/chill bin, looking good

Nice build mate What made you use the sea devil 620 as a guide?

My mate has one and I like the transom layout. It’s simple but works really well

Great vid! Been watching the whole build process, good stuff! What's the dimentions of the splash well?

I’ll have to get measure and get back to you Phil.

It’s about 600mm wide, 900mm long (across the transom) and about 500mm deep. But it has lots of angles so I can’t give you all the measurements without a drawing haha

@@ADVENTURES_ADRIFT cheers! So 600mm from the aft side of the transom forward to the bulkhead hey? The reason I ask is I'm doing the same to a Bertram 20 which is very similar to the haines (except for a greater deadrise angle) Thanks for the response- really appreciate it 👍.

From the Aft Edge of the transom to internal wall of the well, it’s around 600mm. I think the sea devil I got the measurements off was 710mm from the back of the boat to the inside edge of the boat where you would lean up against. Does this help?

what is the measurements for the well saves me ftrying to find a sea devil

Hey mate, flick me a massage on instagram if you can. I’ll send photos of the measurements. Just easier than explaining it all. @advetures_Adrift_Aus

Did you sand back all the thermalite board before glassing on the build? Only saw you do it in this vid

@ADVENTURES_ADRIFT

6 ай бұрын

The thermolite was a pre sanded product, I didn’t for the floor because I wanted to keep a nice smooth flat area and didn’t want to risk gouging it. I did however sand it with 40 grit on the orbital before laying it down and glassing over.

@@ADVENTURES_ADRIFT ahhh copy, cheers. Planning on picking up a v17l soon as a bit of a project and have been watching your series on repeat to work out how to do the glassing and everything as I’ve never done it. You explain your methods really well and show you doing it so it’s helping heaps, can’t wait to see it finished keep up the great vids! (Might even see it out and about as I fish out of bermi mostly)
