The inside is stripped, just flipped it over. The outside is in better condition for sure. Gonna grind it clean wait until it gets dark, stick a couple lights underneath and mark all the holes

 

[StanleyJ]

Ouch

Good grief, looks like someone had target practice. lol Heck, you can fix those no trouble, that is going to be a really nice boat.

Hmmmm someone may have attached a ground to the hull to get that many holes.

 

[StanleyJ]

Someone gave me a large piece of carbon fiber cloth I'm strongly considering epoxying that to the bottom of the hull.

I started it off with the brazing rods. The amount of pinholes is crazy. If I cover the whole bottom I won't have to worry about the ones I don't see right now.

 

[StanleyJ]

Scrubbed with hot soapy water rinsed with clean fresh water then wipe down a couple times with the acetone. Used extra slow Hardner and resin

Just a question, when the aluminum flexes, won't the fiberglass crack?

Hell if i know.

Last coat went on yesterday. Ill flip it over tomorrow. Thats when it flex the most maybe. We will see

Stanley, I hope I did offend you asking that question, that was not my intentions at all.

I really do hope it works for you, it is about fishing time and the fish are calling your name. lol

 

[River_monster91]

i would think the fiberglass should flex enough with the aluminum it would not crack. i may be wrong though lol

No offense taken, I really don't know. Will be mindful to listen for crackling when I flip it
