well good morning and welcome back

bestie basic well we had our nice run of

weather and we got all of the painting

done while all the bright side painting

done all the white and the boot stripes

are complete in the nick of time now the

rain is hit so I'm forced to work under

here the bridge deck this bridge deck is

my kryptonite it's been a ton of work

and it's not necessarily the work it's

how sore I am afterwards the sanding

Lynn and I put in 120 hours of sanding

on this and now it's fairing and

prepping for the barrier coat it's done

unbearable working overhead but we're

closed today should be the last day of

preparation before we start covering all

this up so it's exciting and with the

rain the way it is now it's a perfect

day to work under the cover so let's get

to work

[Applause]

this is such a large area to fare out

and prep I ended up gritting it out into

16 different segments up here and as I

finish the segment up next and I'm

working my way through we're getting

closer and closer but there's nine

segments why

[Music]

well I'm not gonna lie I was brutal bang

come to a good point to put a barrier

coat down I backed out every one of

these zones Oh hours and hours but you

know what I just mixed up a barrier coat

I have a three hour working time get the

first coat down so it's time to get

these X's off here feels good

let's get this barrier coat down okay

DLO coating on here it's the first coat

of three but you know what it's not

looking half bad look at this

we're this little sled West all this

fairing no look at this you can't even

hardly tell it was there uh I'm liking

it got a little more sheen on it then I

would hoped but this is just the barrier

to coat kind of shows all the little it

looks a lot better for sure okay let's

just keep at this about two more hours

of painting tonight so we mixed up our

inner protect mm II shelf life's about

three hours after we mix it we're an

hour and a half into this so another

hour and a half and then on to the next

coat tomorrow morning

[Music]

I hear something very very familiar

about a sound that's happening in the

under the boat on the bridge deck teal

says that he's prepping and finishing up

painting this morning but I think he

took a little detour from that project

and is doing something that he said he's

not gonna do let's catch him in the act

perfect for painting I know you're

beautiful white bridge deck is getting

popped up again isn't it you know what

though this is all part of the process

no it's not every layer no no no we're

gonna get another coat on today I'll

sandal this out and we'll get another

coat on it's it's come look nice I am

NOT tickled to this come on

I'm excited am i it's a sickness you

know that right it's sick or maybe

medication look it's just these little

details this is gonna make our boat just

look down much nicer and you're gonna

appreciate it

I know I know so bear with me today well

I just work some of these little things

out of my brain I'm almost done

then we'll get painting again I stand

this out and one more barrier coat over

this and I think we're gonna be looking

good

at least adjust my glasses I don't know

why have you knows that it's my thing

[Music]

okay that was a big day three coats of

inner protect mm II and I actually am

pretty happy with it it looks looks real

good

hey we deserve a little celebratory

drink I'll take that

so what do you think it looks so good

the big step wasn't it

but I think I like it now I know let

this cure and on to the next thing yeah

let's get that tape hold okay it's

coming off pretty clean so far this

isn't the final this is just the barrier

coat that's still you can see it I know

it looks good for now I kind of gives us

an idea of how nice let's go look under

here when we're all done

oh boy

looking at this bridge deck now versus

when we just hauled out oh it was in bad

shape bad shape paint had 100% failed

under here so we had to strip it off it

was 120 hours of sanding and a lot a lot

of work fairing and prepping beyond that

was easily another 40 or 50 hours so we

put our time in this bridge deck but

it's paying off

it's starting to look good this barrier

coat really makes me feel good it's not

100% perfect but boy I am not

complaining not complaining at all okay

we went through a lot of inter protect

put down three gallons yesterday alone

on here so we have a nice barrier code

on here so from here on out the

project's go quick bottom paint that's

that's easy just tape it off let's start

painting

we've get the sale drives together we

have a transducer to put in gotta get

the graphics on the boat so all these

little projects go fast from here on out

the hard work that we've put into this

boat while we're on the hard is done

everything else is just gravy now so

we'll just start busting these out and

we should splash here I won't say the

day but it's coming up quick

[Music]

[Applause]

we have a lot of commotion in the yard

this morning but not gonna start my new

project we're gonna upgrade this this is

our old tarp water that came with our

boat

it's 10 years old it's tiny it's

outdated it works but it's not real

visible in daylight conditions so we're

gonna upgrade that we knew we were going

to we're just waitin till right before

we launched because technology's been

changing so much the last few years we

end up getting this the Raymarine axiom

series two 12-inch with 3d sonar

capabilities the trick is look at this

transducer I need to put in it's a

monster I got to find room for that

let's see what I'm up against

[Music]

[Music]

okay when I built these stairs geez

years and years ago I knew this day

would come and I needed access to the

transducers so I built this in here

let's take a look there's the existing

transducers here's our speed transducer

and this is actually a transducer that

has been eliminated we have our depth

transistor on the other hall I'm going

to remove this speed transducer and put

it on the other hole remove this

eliminated transducer and then put the

new sonar transducer in this place I

want it right here centered in this

compartment so I have easy access so

it's a big project let's get to work

[Music]

[Music]

well that was a bugger got it all

chiseled out now I think I'll be able to

pry it out from inside now there's

nothing else holding it okay they're out

that wasn't as easy as I thought it

would be but I need to fill this hole

now this will be my new main transducer

hall which mike teal has this all

perfectly braced up so he can do some

laminations inside the cabin he's doing

it think four six layers so let's see

what he's up to

[Music]

I cannot wait to get rid of this ladder

[Music]

[Music]

okay where we at now looking good

I've got a full patch we filled the void

and put a full patch over the entire

area here so I think we're looking good

so all the epoxy works done for filling

the transducer will be let this cure

tonight let's take a look at this let

this cure tonight and I'll be able to

put that transducer in tomorrow morning

until then still got a couple hours

today I think we have time to put the

graphics on the boat that'll be a fun

one I've been waiting for this moment

for a while to put our graphics on it's

it's really cool okay forward or back

I'll Center at top and bottom but

forward and backward isn't he like right

in here yeah what do you think

[Music]

[Music]

I think that the logos turned out pretty

cool on the side of the boat but fact

did you know that I actually designed

the logo is like two years ago now we're

gonna put the name on the bow and right

now it looks awesome

[Music]

[Music]

now that the paint and graphics are on

we can put the tongue bridle Hardware

back on cuz check it off before

[Music]

wiggle it back and forth yeah there you

go oh do I squeeze the it okay just keep

pushing till the butyl tape and when she

tightens it up

she's tightening it right now yeah just

hold it till she tightens it and you're

golden

it'll take her a minute to get it all on

there okay and she'll squeeze it out

which he packs it up okay do you like

the name on them on the transom they're

so pretty I love it

okay early the next morning this epoxies

had plenty time to cure let's take a

look at see how it turned out I'm pretty

good actually tape stuck a bit but okay

this is looking real good one thing

that's interesting is the NIDA core the

honeycomb composite hole stops about ten

inches on each side of this and this is

just solid glass about three-eighths

probably maybe a little more nine

sixteenths thick well I've just added a

little more thickness to this here's

that new patch I just put in that area

so we'll drill through that fare this

out and then test fit this new

transducer

fared out my patch here and there was

another patch here I fared that out at

the same time took my transducer

template and marked out my hole now I

get a drill trailer okay everything's

set now we'll test fit this transducer

see how it sits on this flat spot

hopefully it looks good

Lin you ready are you there okay coming

up okay got it

just keep pulling we have 30 feet here

okay we're almost there

here we go

okay go ahead and put that washer on is

there enough room for the night okay

[Music]

actually this looks real good here okay

let me trace it out

[Music]

okay we're all buttered up and ready for

the install here

how's it going up there

[Music]

okay the sonar transducer is in will let

that cure and jump to the next project

cap prep the sail drive sanded it with

80 grit taped off the meeting surface

for the zinc and replying Tronics three

three on here

we're gonna put a couple coats on about

six hours apart we'll just keep at it

till we run out of paint I've been

applying this try lux every six hours on

this sill drive we have two coats on now

we have one more coat to go but I am

real happy with the results all that

pitting that was in the sail drives

before is gone that protective barrier

coat along with this tri locks

I feel real comfortable with these

drives to have a long long life ahead of

them okay this videos getting a bit long

and I got a ton of stuff to do we are

gonna be so busy over the next couple

days

we're splashing soon and the projects

well let's say we've got a few that we
