hey guys
welcome back to sp basic
looking good it is i feel real good
about this hard top project
got a few things to button it up but
it's coming along nicely
you know everything's working as planned
the rain is shedding off nicely going
where we want it to
it feels sturdy and i couldn't be
happier with it well
there is one glaring problem with this
whole build yes i know i know
is that we still don't have sun coverage
and protection over the hill this was
the main reason why we decided to stop
and do this because
we were so wind burned and sunburned
so where is it teal well let me let me
explain
we couldn't even do anything over the
helm until we finished
the main cover now it gives us plenty of
options we could have a soft canvas but
many up here
with eyes and glass we could put a hard
top up here
and you know it gives us options we have
options
i know we need to get on it don't we
yeah i want to get back in the water so
we got to get back
we have to make a decision and figure
out what we want to do well don't worry
i have a plan always a plan
[Music]
teal this is starting to feel like
groundhog's day
yeah but it's like one quarter groundhog
day
okay quarter scale to the other one so
this one's going fast
is it by whose standards oh come on
just a little bit each day i'm not
really spending much time on this one
it's just mostly just cure time at this
point it feels almost
miniature after what we did i know it's
kind of fun doing this because it's
going so fast
we're just a couple days into this
working an hour to a day on it
it's like on the tail end it's weird how
much more
work four times bigger hardtop was
it's not wasn't four times the work it
was probably
20 times the word well the weather's
getting nicer too
so things are kicking a lot faster than
it was when we were doing the big one
yeah i guess okay you ready to help me
yes i am your trusted assistant
are you trusted i'm trustee
something i don't know
i'm your assistant that's all you have
beggars can't be choosers
mister
[Music]
so
[Music]
[Music]
right there
[Music]
[Music]
so we got a little squall coming through
here
lynn and i just ran out in the rain
and picked up our
little hard top above the helm it had
flown
20 feet and
landed behind the boat it was
crazy
well it's nice and calm now
got up early this morning kind of
cleaned up
our work area put the hard top back up
[Music]
boy that win last night just this front
came across us
and just we had our project
facing right here pick this thing up
threw it right over there
when it went by it hit here
that's the only scuff i got on that
but it went airborne and when it landed
in the gravel
look at that got a little dent there
and a little dent there i only have one
thin layer over this edging so far i
have to i'm planning to put three
well i'll fare this out before the next
layers
it was just really interesting weather
just came down
in buckets weather picked up and
just it was short-lived luckily
but you can see the whole marina
everything's tipped over
ladders everywhere just debris scattered
check the weather it was blowing a
sustained 36 and
i don't know what it was gusting to but
i mean ladders are down everywhere
just came and went should have strapped
it down last night but
i just put that layer of epoxy down and
i thought it was just a little too tacky
still so i didn't strap it
i usually do oh well i learned
that's what i get for having such a
light substrate that i'm working with it
just turns into a kite
[Music]
okay i'll get the decks dried off and
get to work
there he is sanding out that damage from
last night's storm
that thing took off like a kite
nothing a little quick bear can't fix
i know we were supposed to do some more
glassing but we had to
fix this damage first but it looks good
feels good look at that
you can see it but you can't feel it
[Music]
there we go oh the joys of being
in the boatyard
every day is a joy
it is
so you figured it out yet
are you just enjoying it you enjoying
the shade
the shade is nice it's weird sitting
here with
nothing over me i meant sky
i don't imagine when i started making
the the side curtains and
some protection this is going to be so
sweet
i think it's going to work a couple of
things to think about but it's all going
to work out i think
i just got to figure out these post
locations get some glass on this
and get this thing bolted in
okay let's start glassing let's do it
we've been bouncing from one project to
another
spending a few hours each day on each
the hardtop was our most extensive
project during this haul
out so we dedicated any available hours
towards its completion
at this stage we are sanding and faring
the top side
which only chews up about a third of
each day
as the next layer of multi-part fairing
compound cures
we can shift over to other projects
after multiple days of this repetitive
process
the seam between the hard top and the
coach roof slowly disappears
this process is painstakingly slow
alternating between belt sanders to
orbital sanders
and then hand sanding
i think you're getting some sun your
nose is a little red
[Laughter]
feels good it does feel good but
i think it's time to put on some sun
protection
it's winter uh no
it's not
it's almost sexual how you uh keep
touching this
i'm editing that out thank you
just saying you're a lucky woman
[Laughter]
i sure am
there was an incredible amount of work
needed to ensure that this seam melts
away
and with time and patience it did just
that
[Music]
we're in a good position to lay down our
first barrier coat
and with this beautiful stretch of nice
weather abruptly slamming closed
it was time so we mixed up a small batch
of interlux 2000e epoxy primer and got
to work
rolling out the first coat is like
getting your grade on a college term
paper
this is your report card and i have to
say
i felt like the valedictorian it looked
amazing
so what you're seeing right now is teal
trying to scramble
because i told them we need to go in the
water soon
and i don't know if you remember back
when we were in westport
we were in a big storm and we took a
little bit
of wear on our paint looks like 2020 is
starting off with a big bang
because we got another winter system
hitting us here
and it's popping in close to 50 i would
think
it's hard to stand on the deck right now
i mean look at this
[Music]
okay this storm hit us with a punch last
night
it's blowing force 10 out here right now
okay it's getting violent out here
this has got to be below mid 50s gusting
to 60 has to be
i'll check it on the weather station
here in a second
you know what's crazy out here when you
gotta get
geared up just to check your lines on
the dock
[Music]
everything seems to be holding nicely
it's blowing about
mid 50s
we're lace to the dock nicely it's doing
much better about 40 45 i would say
outside
but it feels much better that's much
better than last night last night it was
like 63.
yeah today we hit 60 once but
i think we'll sleep well so teal
is taking this opportunity to stand
things out and start painting
because it bugs him so much funds me it
loves you
it doesn't matter you've been this week
paint that paint that
well i know you want to and so i told
you
this is your last opportunity before we
splash
you want to show the little bit of
damage yeah so
i'm scuffing this surface right now
taped it off we're just going to paint
from here
to the chime on this hole when we were
on the
dock and left part our fenders
were just squished flat and they took
look at this it wore through three
layers of paint
so we want to get another couple layers
of paint on here just to give us a
little more
coverage so while we're on the hard
we'll be bouncing back and forth from
the hard top to the little hard top
while those things are curing each day
we'll start our painting projects
we have you know top coat we're going to
be working on the bootstrap
and uh bottom paint all in the next week
and a half or so try to get all this
buttoned up
you hear compass lighting up because
teal tapped on the boat
he is our vicious guard dog for sure
emma's not going to be too happy takes
him a while to calm down
yep here she comes
you think we're gonna paint today yeah
we'll get the first coat on today
another coat tomorrow and
see how it looks
grab some sandpaper let's go i can't
reach so i will assist
and see if you missed any spots i'll get
you a step ladder
all right fine
well it looks like we all have the same
idea of painting today
there's a ruth and garrett next to us
and
they're doing a bottom paint and
also refreshing their uh
beautiful lipstick red it's sexy
it is sexy how did it go
this is the first layer you liking it
yeah lay down nice
perfect day not too hot just a little
breeze
yeah i think i'm done what do you think
looks beautiful
this is one crisp slime i'm telling you
[Music]
