Fiberglass Boat Repair | There's A Hole In My Boat | Broken Pilot House Part 7

Here's the next part and close to the last part of actual fiberglass damage repairs on the Broken Pilot House. This damage appears to only be some small cracks, but in this video you will see once you grind some damage down you sometimes find you will have a hole in your boat afterwards. DO NOT LET THIS SCARE YOU! This is a very simple fix and I purposely made this video long to demonstrate how fast it really is to repair fiberglass damage to a boat. Now keep in mind there is still some additional things left to do. I will follow up this video with a how to fair the fiberglass out and get it ready for paint. Next up is the pulpit, which needs to be recored and redone do to a missing section of fiberglass.

As always, Thanks for watching this video!

Strip of marine ply; sub-grade lumber; or, teak placed in that channel/fiberglassed in place then topped with mesh & resin.

Coming along nicely. Time to get that thing done, the season is here!!!

[skeets]

So you did not put anykind of backing under the glass to screw in to ?

[captmiker]

Cool channel. Is there a reason you laid the 1708 mat side up? Thanks.

[wayphun]

I like how you did the edge with that CSM, good idea!

[arshiavali]

hello, for under the water line holes that we dont have acces to both sides should we use mat or gloth

[ecco]

What is that material you are covering? It looks like resin without the fiberglass.

i was taught using a smaller pc first then each layer after that is slightly larger. this way each layer is bonded to the boat. by using a large pc first and its adhesion fails, then the entire patch falls off.

[bsfishing]

I would clean it first the whole boat that way you see what needs to be fixed

[lachyelmulatiko]

How is every bodys resin looks that red and mine from west marine is kind of clear yellow haha

[vot]

WTF... There is no glass in the affected area. I wonder how how far down the gunnel that problem runs?
Looks like fun in any case. Peace.

[jerryrig]

WOW, this restoration is going great! I love the boat!

[PaddleDogC]

Should have feathered the edges more before applying glass

[islandmikerood]

Ive worked on some bad boats in my days at the boatyard, this one takes the crown..And you made it even worse with that horrible fiber job..Awefull

[terryfonz]

Why not clean that damn thing before working on it! 😂

[corkyvanderhaven]

There was so much Timelapse footage and music with that hole I almost fell in love with it

[Whalermansteve]

Should have hot glued some paint stir sticks to plug the hole before you glass it up to prevent the glass from sagging

[derekperkins]

great job, you act like you have done that before...lol
