I was admiring this little Boston whaler next to my project boat and noticed the crazing along the entire bottom corner (beam to beam) of the transom. I imagine it’s more than crazing and is the beginning of fatigue damage. What do y’all think?
I’m not saying they did a bad job or a good one; I’ve never had it done before so I’m not sure to expect. I did think there wouldn’t be any paint left. I assume it’s so they don’t over blast but I’m not sure.
Any professionals wanna chime in?
Also is that a normal amount of blisters for a 47 year old boat?
Thanks!
What do you think? I’ll be changing the profile a bit when I modify the sedan and cockpit then adding a solar roof.
We spent a month living on the boat last year after we bought it. End of the season the starboard crusader failed so I decided it was time to rebuild every inch of this boat into our custom home. I am not a fiberglass pro and this will be the largest project I’ve done working with it so don’t beat me down too bad.
The flybridge and engines are already removed. There will be a 4KW solar roof running everything and back up 5KW diesel generator at some point. Motors will be twin 20KW running 40KWH or so of lithium iron phosphate to each bank.
Ive built a couple dozen RVs into off grid rigs and am also a professional woodworker. I expect 900-1300 hours of work to completion but I have made this my full time job so we will see how it goes. This season my goals are just doing all of the hull work and powerplant in for sea trials. No promotion here I don’t have a YouTube or anything but I thought y’all might be interested
