First comment on the channel, thank you for putting all of your videos out there! I have already watched a few of the series and have another comment to add to the mold building series. You apologized for the sound of the birds, and I had to pause the video (in the middle of making tacos for the family on Thursday night) to say please don’t apologize for the birds. They transport us (at least me) into your shop and make me feel like I’m getting to watch over your shoulder. I love that you don’t have music overlays and that we get to hear the birds, and hear about the bugs you deal with, and hear the sounds of the tools! I think part of what sets you apart for me is that we get to see the “boring stuff”, the act of mixing without a cut scene. This is what folks wanting to learn need to see and get with your videos. Thank you so much for letting us into your shop and coming along with you.

Thank you again Captain. I am trying to figure out a bulkhead door/hatch that is water tight in case of collision for my 1991 Catana 48R. Not sure how many people need such a thing but if you got a chance to cover such an animal, that would be great. Again, mucho gracias.

A watertight collision bulkhead hatch made from fiberglass could be a tricky one. You might want to consider a aluminum hatch made for that application. I believe Bomar or Vetus might be a couple companies that make those. I hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Sorry to hear You lost your boat to Hurricane Ian, that's terrible! My hometown was hit by hurricane Sally back in 2020, and Ivan a few years before that. Luckily our home and boat didn't have any major damage. I have always liked the classic Seacrafts. I have owned a 20 and a 23 myself, they are awesome boats!

I’m building coosa hatches right now. How big of a gap in between the floor panel and the hatch do you cut??? Also I was told one layer of 1708 on bottom and two on top is strong enough for a boat floor. Is that what you recommend??

Awesome, glad to help! We used a lot of 3M high strength vinyl ester filler to stick parts in place prier to glassing. Any quality filler with short strand fibers can work good for this. We have been using this technique for years with lots of success. There is a video or two in the boatbuilding series that shows us using that method in detail. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!

Hello Captain Joe. I just had my Transom, Stringer's, and deck all done with Coosa. My question is can i just paint over everything with Gelcoat and done or do i need to do something else first? Thank you in advance.
@FishBumpTV
Жыл бұрын
Just make sure the surface is clean and dry, I like temps to be between 60 and 80 degrees for gelcoat applications, and a light sanding on the fiberglass surface is not a bad idea. hope this helps, and good luck with your project!

First time watching, your craftsmanship and attention to detail is barnone, I am definitely subscribing in hopes of learning some new things. Are you using poly or epoxy on your coosa with chop strand? I know that hinge hurt like hell! Also I see you used vinylester to bond the top deck I always thought epoxy was superior when bonding.
@FishBumpTV
Жыл бұрын
Thanks so much for watching! We are using poly, but it is a very high quality iso resin vs just your standard laminating resin. Yep, that hinge did NOT feel good! Epoxy is very good at bonding, and has its place, but for this application the vinylester is plenty strong. Especially since it is screwed and glassed on both sides. Thanks again, and welcome to the channel!

That's cool man! good to hear from you. Pour-in 2 part foam can be very tricky. If you do not pour enough you will have voids in the floor. If you pour in too much you can lift the floor up! Most factories have special guns that allow them to do a better job. I would lean towards either pouring the foam in before you install the floor, or consider making the area under the floor a series of watertight compartments. It is not really a super easy, one way is always the best kind of answer. As far as fasteners go, we always use stainless steel screws in the 21/2 to 3-inch range. I always run a bead of 3m 5200 on top of the stringer before screwing the panel down. If you look back on some of our older boat-building videos, you can see the process we used. Hope this answers some of your questions and good luck with your project

Can this hatch design be used with divynicell? I know the coosa is stronger, but the foam would be quite a bit lighter.
@FishBumpTV
10 ай бұрын
I have used Divinicell before with good results, but not in this exact application. You are right, the Coosa is stronger in its unglassed state. This boat we are building will be in the charter business, so it has to be extra tough. If weight is a high priority, I think you could use Divinicell, but I would use more glass than we did on the Coosa. Probably 2 layers of 1708 on each side, finished with mat. Also not a bad idea to just make a test panel, and see if you are happy with the strength, weight etc. Hope this helps! Good luck with your project, and thanks for watching!
