Excellent work, I'll be referring to these when I rebuild my future boat

Hi Mark, I just started watching your series a couple of weeks ago. I've finally caught up and am blown away by the job you've done. Amazing work and dedication, I reckon you'll have the strongest Haines on the water. Keep going mate you're nearly there. So many unfinished project boats on Markesplace

One day when you look back when it's completed, it's going to be so worth it... Love that boat 👍👍

Texas watching!

I have built 2 fishing boat and 3 ski boat plugs. Basically a boat crafted from wood, painted, polished, waxed then molds made. Do not miss it one bit. Nice job so far ✅

Dread to start my project after seeing the amount of work you have done

Gday mate sanding is mind numbing on all my boats that have been fiberglass i used resin with styrene so it would harden of then sand before putting any more coats of glass on ,i had to do the transom on the haines i did and it was a pain geting the surface flat i actually doubled up the timber so it was a full 36mm transom across the back and that was glassed together then screwed then completely glassed ( i go over the top) it was heavy but strong as it was great when finished last i heard about it was it was sitting under a plastic tarp on a vacant block very sad . when your finished youll look back and realize it was all worth the itchies and stress and you will have bragging rights when someone asks "oh who built this " my latest reno is finished and at 64 i think it may be the last one im getting to old and get to sore for this game anymore but ill probably see another bargain and it will all start again hahaha .

Surely you’ve been on that stripe marlin bite off the south coast 😂

Keep kickin goals brother!! I paid so.eone to rebuild my 600R.... wouldnt wish apon anyone!!

File sander is invaluable!

Blade putty is good for filling smaller imperfections.

I've only faired 1 boat and took me months of sanding. I'd be looking for a lighter option than those 2x4 timbers haha.

I bought an stabicraft because glass boats need to much 😂.update just got an 1500 mustang glass project 😂

Hey mate loving the series and watching it come together. What dimensions is your motor well (would love to copy it!)

I’ll have to get back to you on that one. I’m away at the moment so I can’t get access to the boat. Send me message on Instagram and I’ll get back to you. adventures_adrift_aus

Nah mate ,it's all good. Your videos are easy to follow with simple instruction well done on your project

What do you think are the best sanding discs for sanding back the gel coat and fibreglass

Hey mate, if your talking about removal of old gelcoat and glass I would use a grinder with very course sanding pad 16-36 grit depending on how much to want to take off.

3m cubitron3 pads are by far the best pads for resin/glass/flow coat they are 80grit and with an interface pad on your orbital can get round corners easily
