That would be me , The deck does get warm that is why we painted the white stripe but it shows green in the sun the picture does not do it justice

Good looking boat green, from one pic it looks like a lot of pearl or metallic in the green? Just guessing.

That thing would be wicked hot down here!

You are right about that , but lucky for me I am in Syracuse and the boating season around here will fit on a postage stamp .

Looks good. Greg did a good job!

Going to pick it up tomorrow so the build will be starting just as soon as I can get a new saw zawll blade!

Green would be the last color I would have thought would work on a 35 Fountain. Boy am I wrong. Boat looks fantastic! Nice to have something unique as well. Congrats!

Pic of the boat in the water, looks like it is parked at NitrousNolan's (old place((br)) I'm assuming) on Lake Oneida ?

Thank you but I can't take all the credit the boat was green from the factory all I did was update the colors and add the pearls

You are right that is "the old boathouse" I am sorry to see it closed

Well since no one else asked about the sneak peak of the blown motors. What did they dyno at?

Duramax

Don't forget to post pics of the progress,,,,,,,,,,,and no I am not starting chit.

I never had the blower motor's on a dyno so I don't know , The boat used to have B1's on it and the drive gears would break every time I got to around 92 so I replaced the drives .

got it home, BARELY. lost a wheel on the way down there at some point... going to cut into it sometime this week and where what i have to work with. should be a fun, but itchy project. decided to strip the cabin out and make it a strictly business fun little boat.

How did the damage occur?

Interesting project, will keep an eye on this one!

What happened to the bow? Was it driven up onto rocks? Hit another boat? Poor thing nearly lost 4' looking at the crack from the gunnel down to the bottom. Maybe when you're doing the fiberglass work you could extend the beak and make it a 38'?

I would like to know that when you fix this, will the prior damage be disclosed and shown to the buyer ? I can't imagine thinking og buying something that had this previous damage, but I know we are all different.

Let's see the other side.

SB... I don't plan on selling it. I know once it's fixed it'll be good as new. if I do sell it of course the buyer would know the history. And aka, the other side looks the same boat ran up into a marsh is the story I got. Ran high and dry on line so it was never sunk. I don't want to make it a 38 I want to keep it a 35

I only know one person that I would even think of trusting to fix that much damage, especially if you wanna run over 100mph in it.... not trying to be a dik this time but that's some serious work there for a guys with LOTS of experience...

Abrupt stop against a solid object.

I guess when it's done you'll just have to come for a ride then huh Timmy? :coolcowboy:

Shouldn't be too hard to fix, quick clean up and a small plaster......

Good luck with the project, looks very interesting.

Ran up in a marsh?!?!?!? Marshes are, by definition...soft. They don't cause major structural and fiberglass damage...

I'm ok I enjoy life, I see you can do some glass work but I don't think that is a job for a guy with just a few years of simple repair, that's some serious damage there... not trying to actually be jerk about it .... just is what it is, like taking a rare Hemi Cuda for a full restoration, you taking it to the guy with a few years at it? or the guy with 30 years?? I know what I would do...

As far as for never selling it? tell me one person who kept a boat from when they were 20 years old, that would be a very rare case, I said so many times things were not gonna be sold, you get bored and move on to more things... to say you will never sell is not likely...

This reminds me of the front fell off video, lol thats some serious damage to there!

That's the story I got. So I'm not too sure. And Tim, once you've understood the fundamentals behind fiberglass and the right way to fully saturate and cure it, it really isn't that big of a job... You just cut out whatever messed up. Give yourself an outside shape to work off of, put some coring on the inside. And glass it all in on the inside and make sure you retab the top and bottom good.. Fiberglass is fiberglass.

That part of the boat will be out of the water when on plane anyway duct tape it and let the good times roll:boat:

The 1st 5 feet on a Fountain doesn't do anything anyways so just cut it off

True, mashes are soft, However that large concrete abutment at the edge of the marsh, that suckers pretty tough......

Correct, however, what you will lose, is your Fountain skanks. Size does count. The length of your beak means everything to them.

Still got my 16 check. Bought it when I was 21. A lot of fun and memories in that boat! We actually took it to buffalo last week instead of mean streak with the 3 kids to meet friends for lunch. Now its making new memories for us and the kids love it! It was/is my first boat and they will have to pry it from my cold dead hands (although my 4 year old daughter already called dibs)!

So that's the boat you were in. Cool little boat.

Only because I'm proud of what I did in my career and know the education it took I'm calling B.S. on you and your over simplifaction of structural work. There is an element of education required for structure design and/or repair regardless of the materials used, be it wood, composite, metals or combined elements. Actually repair can be significantly more difficult then initial design. In our business we typically found guys with your mindset not doing well at interviews.

Like I asked on the other thread "When are you going to finish something ? " That's how you gain respect here as a builder or businessman, finishing something.

did i say anything about over simplifying a major repair? i just said it doesnt matter how old you are. once youve done it, every day, for a while, its all the same BS. once you understand the fundamentals of structural repair, it all falls into the same figurative box... for someone who has been doing glass work, for what is this, idk 5 or 6 years now, its all pretty much the same old story for whatever im fixing.

tell me again how i dont finish anything?

when you have so much customer work its hard to get your own stuff finished...

I didn't question your paint and cosmetic fixes.

:food-smiley-007::food-smiley-007:

you have a notched transom

hope he took floor out of a couple of those to fix em right.... I don't see those pics...tell us you did Phil... I hope so...

C'mon. Can't we just watch this guy fix a boat or not fix a boat or try to fix a boat, or whatever he's going to do?

in Phils defense fiberglass repair is not rocket science , Grind the crap out of it and use vinlyester or epoxy resin so the repair adheres while using plenty of quality cloth and you are half way there.

Phil what is the story on the boat that you repaired with the delamination and hole down by the keel area ?

Maybe this is what happen lol http://www.mby.com/news/runaway-boat...to-house-21468
