He will find a wealth of knowledge on here as many of us did!! Welcome!

Snipe

Nice job! Giving her some love this year again. Always something to do!! Looking good Earlybird. The season will be here before you know it.

Snipe

It does look nice. I would like to do it to mine. Here are a few pictures of Jim’s boat.

Snipe

I would definitely clean that area up some more and take a deeper look. You can always make a repair to that area. I have also read one of Capt Pats posts stating that the wood inside the stringer was just a mold for the fiberglass. As far as tanks if your running diesel I like fiberglass tanks. A c...

Thanks Carl I am putting a section of hose between the transom and the muffler. I was going to run it hard but after some research I think the hose will help quiet down a little and take some rumble out.

Snipe

I have a picture of the built in surge cone as Bob stated.I will post a picture later.

Snipe

Pete I have many more Pictures I took lots along the way! I am going to make a post of my hole journey with this project. Learned lots on here from the guys. I just want to give some back if I can.

Snipe

Yes i am taking out the cockpit panels.

Snipe

Nice job!! It looks amazing out there I know why you want to be on the water after seeing the pictures.

Snipe

Cam it turned out amazing!! It must feel so good to Good to be out on her after all the blood sweat and tears. I followed you along your journey great work!!

Snipe

Tony here are some pictures of mine. i bought Groco flanged sea cocks with built in flush/crash valves.this is my first time trying to put a picture up figured i would try considering i am stuck inside freezing in the northeast http://i.imgur.com/JawlVsOh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Feug4X7h.jpg http://i...

Snipe

I saw this a while ago maybe this will help this is how I made mine. https://marinehowto.com/seacock-backing-plates/
Sounds like exactly what Tony did.

Snipe

Yannis here is a link https://vadania.com/collections/industr ... uty-slides

Snipe

Carl I agree about people will lean on it for sure. We will see how it works out. The slides lock in the closed ,half way out,and fully open positions. There is a lever on the end that must be depressed to open an close. They have a pair with a heavier rating if needed.

Snipe

I am going with these of making my own from garlite g 10 from McMaster Carr. https://dreamgreen.org/boat-parts/182-t ... ing-plates

Snipe

The slides are rated for 265lbs the cooler dry weighs 23 pounds it’s only a tundra 45. 10 pound bag of ice and 24 beers is 24 pounds around 57lbs total. Should be ok I hope if not will make a nice tackle station.

Snipe

The deck pitches aft. The level in the picture was used a straight edge. I followed the height of the original deck at the engine bulked to the bottom of the scuppers. As far as port to starboard it is flat.

Snipe

Jack this is what I did don’t know if it will help. I have a three piece glasstec deck. The belly band all the way around the cockpit and stringers as well as bulkeds are all coosa and 1708 all work was done with west system. https://imgur.com/gallery/5oh8D7H

Snipe

Thanks guys! I am going to make another post soon Over three years later and still plugging away!

Snipe

Thanks guys! I will make some more posts I have hundreds of pictures. I’ve been at it for three years.i have learned lots from this site and want to share.

Snipe

Work continues in the cabin. Finished the built in cabinet. I also did the vberth bulked in mahogany and a new headliner. Corian tops came in they have been installed. I had to make a pedestal for the table. Had some aluminum laying around worked perfectly. Most of the trim installed. I am ordering ...

Snipe

Here is a link to some pictures of the battery box. https://imgur.com/gallery/ieHDA0N

Snipe

All good stuff! I pulled all the dead wires out of mine when I bought it and repaired the remaining. Now of coarse I am rewiring the whole boat with the refit. I put a battery box under the companion way it will hold four group 31s. It was made from coosa.

Snipe

I removed carpet and faired and painted it. I had mold in there as well. Removing the railings and filling the holes helped.

Snipe

Tony It was a learning experience for sure. A couple spots have some orange peel not to bad and I only got one run and it was my fault I changed the spray pattern and forgot to turn it back resulting in a slight run and little sag. Spraying outside in the elements presents its own set of challenges ...

Snipe

Yes lots of prep work and still some spots I missed. I definitely would spray a guide coat next time for fairing. I learned a lot doing this job! But all in all I think it looks pretty good.

Snipe

Cam I used the Accuspray 3M PPS gun. It worked great minimal clean up as the cup is a liner and the spray head is disposable. https://www.nationaltoolwarehouse.com/Accuspray-ONE-Spray-Gun-System-with-PPS-Series-20-Spray-Cup-System-P315453.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=NTW+-+Smar...

Snipe

Tony I did spray it it took me 6 hrs non stop spraying. I sprayed the Vberth,Head,and cabin all at the same time. I think it came out good for my first time spraying.

Snipe

Thanks Carl I didn’t think the link was working it won’t open up when I click on it. Last time I posted the link it opened right up. I have lots more to share I want to learn how to post them right on the board.

Snipe

With winter coming I wanted to get the finish coat painted so I could work in the cabin over the winter months. https://i.imgur.com/VR4Nr4O.jpg

Snipe

When my boat had the tower the corner of the hatches were cut off and permanently mounted to the l pieces on the boat.

Snipe

Matt I have seen these used before. If you don’t have a strainer you could clog up the https://www.westmarine.com/buy/groco--pump-strainer-with-1-2-plastic-bucket--19850080?cm_mmc=PS-_-Google-_-GSC%3ENonB%3EProduct%2520Type-_-19850080&product_id=19850080&creative=108421552684&device=t&matchtype=&net...

Snipe

I plan on using mine for wash down and ac they are in the same position as yours I think it will work just fine!

Snipe

Sorry to see it go Vince! I am sure you will have lots of invites from the guys on here to go enjoy a Bertram day if you need one!

Snipe

I have some oval hawse pipes that I am installing. I did away with the triangular ones so I can install covering boards at some point with a clean look.

Snipe

Trying to post some pictures let’s see if it works https://imgur.com/gallery/9sX5kdt

I have had great luck with these charges on the yachts I worked on they have good customer service and are repairable.

Snipe

I made cleat pads out of aluminum and coosa then bedded them down under the gunnel in the stern. I also faired the cockpit out for a clean look.

Snipe

I found a set last night message me and we can set it up to ship to you.

Snipe

I think I have a set I will look when I get home!

Tom check this cabin door out Maybe you can do something like this.

Snipe

Thanks Mike!

Snipe

Bob are there pictures or your set up on here anywhere I remember seeing it somewhere? Can you share some pictures? In the meantime I will search your posts. Thanks!

Snipe

Mike that’s a great set up I liked it when I first saw it. Do you have any pictures of how you secured it or tied it in underneath the L panel or engine hatch?

Snipe

Bob sorry to hear the news. I am wishing your wife a speedy recovery!

Snipe

I am using beau clips in the cabin and vberth to put up new head liner. I like them so far they hold pretty well.

Snipe

I did exactly what Tony did and they came out one got stubborn and it was rotted pretty good so I used a little pipe wrench to turn it.
