A little trick with the gloves so when they get too much resin on them. put three pair on and when they get covered you just pull off a layer it helps when you are dealing with time crunch resin and its starting to kick in this Florida heat. you dont have to stop take them off put another pair on, you just pull off a layer and keep rolling!

I imagine there is only a handful of boat manufacturers who build a solid boat. This goes to show manufacturers with stellar reputations build half-a**ed boats. 🇺🇸

I have to agree. Anyone buying a new boat today should be doing a factory tour to see how the boat is made at every step. I think what’s more impressive with this boat is that it’s lasted so long without more rot. 🤙

Finally a great video on Arjay 6011, I did my transom back in 2008 lots of skeptics were proven wrong, my Boat 1979 Wellcraft V 20 powered by 2015 135 HO is still running strong, has no rot to worry about, and will last forever. I absolutely love and recommend that product, the SeaCast is PIA with the fibers in my opinion. I removed the outside skin and went that route, less work. The cap at the top of the transom with very thin plywood cut to size and clamped in place during the pour, the material stuck to the ply and I used a flap disk to grind it off, I poured mine from the highest point. You are lucky the duct tape held with the heat from the curing, I sealed everything up with chop strands and resin, great work as always, the way you secured it back is better than the factory.

Thank you buddy! We also continue to prove the skeptics wrong with our other transom pour video on our Grady! It’s been just about a year and it’s been incredible with our new 250 Suzuki! We did that one from the outside skin. Actually found the inside to be a little easier due to less fairing but it can also be the experience I’ve gained. I can see how the seacast can be a pita because of the larger strands. I really think pouring is the best for the DIY guy. Thank you so much for the kind words!🤙

Im getting flashbacks and starting to itch watching this lol. I hope the new buyers that watch your boat show videos will watch these videos and learn the difference in quality work and chop. So many buyers can learn from these videos so they understand just because its shiny and new doesnt mean its quality. Im not gonna name brands but some of the new builds you see you just want to shake your head and laugh especial with the prices they are trying to get. And then have sales reps trying to defend it is the comical part. Great video I grinded a whole deck skin on a few builds ago just to save the non skid pattern. took me 2 weeks to clean it up. Wont do that again

Youre absolutely right. When you do work like this, you really get to know how things should be done and put together. I definitely refer back to all these projects when walking through these newer boats. Lots of flashy surfaces but lacking underneath where it counts. And like you said, asking ridiculous amounts of money! If theres one thing I hate it’s sanding. That and grinding are the absolute worst! Thanks for the comment buddy! 🤙

I’m replacing the transom, stingers, bulkheads and floor on my ‘82 V20. I used a pourable, Sea Cast for my transom due to outside of the transom being curved. I also increased the motor height of the transom to 25”. I’m using 3/4” marine ply with epoxy for the stringers and bulkheads. I cut the floor out to gain access, leaving a lip of 2 to 3 inches around the perimeter.

That’s awesome! Poured transoms are the best for curved transoms. Many boats have that curve. There’s a gentleman with a video on an aqua sport (which I’m sure you’ve watched) that did a seacast transom. I’m sure your transom will outlast the rest of the boat. Nothing wrong with using wood for stringers either! We did the same! Sounds like you know what you’re doing! Congrats on your build! 🤙

When I replaced the transom in my Sport Cat 23 I used Arjay 6011 and did it from the inside. It's just easier on a cat and that way the outside glass remained intact. After I dug out the rotten core, I glassed in some Coosa that made the "inside skin", and then filled the void with Arjay. Took 11 and a half gallons. So far, I've been happy with it. No flexing at all with twin Mercury Optimax 200s hanging back there.

We had to cut out the very poor glass both sides used two full 3/4 inch marine plywood laminated sheets screwed together with I don't know how many stainless steel screws but by the time we were done I think it could have supported the Empire State building like you I only wanted to do this once thanks for showing your method r I really enjoy watching everything you guys do.

So the last time I believe you use ccast and this time you use liquid transom. I'd love to hear your opinions on the two different products. I know you had a nightmare with ccast customer support.

Hey brother! Actually the last time we used carbon core which was a nightmare with customer service and the company in general. This product is arjay 6011 which is very similar. Both behaved very similar. The difference with seacast is that the material isn’t as smooth as the ones we used. It’s got a chopped material that you have to mix and on top of that you have to get the air bubbles out with a mallet or a palm sander vs the products we used, have an off gassing material where you won’t need to get rid of any air bubbles. 🤙

What a fantastic job guys! Not only the work but your video was great. If you pour a transom is it stronger than the original with plywood? My boats rated for a 150 if ya poured the transom would it be then rated for a 175 hp outboard?

@perfectfitboating

19 күн бұрын

Hey Doug thank you so much for the comment and the kind words! If I remember right, this type of transom pour is a little stronger than regular plywood and slightly lighter. As far as the hp rating goes, there’s a lot more that goes into what a boat is rated for. Weight, hull design etc. Many people exceed that number. But that’s at their own risk. I don’t see a huge problem with 25hp more than factory. I’d be more worried with a 75-100hp+ jump. It’s not just the weight but the torque on the transom. Hope that helps!🤙

@perfectfitboating

This isn’t like a marine plywood or coosa transom. When you pour, there’s a chemical bond with all sides of the fiberglass making it one piece. The outer skin, inside skin and the sides. So there is no “weaker side”. You can’t peel this stuff off like you would be able to peel off layes of glass off plywood or coosa.
