Keep up the good work! Where does the hull come from? Any relation to the Baja Force 265?
|
Seebold made these hulls in house. They are known for their race hydroplanes and built these pleasure boats for a while then sold them to Emerald boats. Its a pretty shallow hull with a pad, notched transom and a step on the outer chine. Its definitely not a rough water boat. She really liked 1-2 foot chop.

Here's another update on her. We finished up the glasswork last weekend! I went through a total of 20 gallons of resin in this pig. Shes solid as a rock now though. I ordered some new gauges and pretty stuff this week so I can move on to re doing the dash once the engine compartment is painted and the motor is back in. Slowly but surely!
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psab0ccbde.jpg I made a jig to locate the new stringers before I ripped out the old ones. Worked out really well http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psdfa9bb1a.jpg I got bored for a bit and it looks like I'm gonna be able to buff her back for the season http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps97c48cdb.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psa3925f11.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps23800778.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps4b9852f3.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...psf1833ec9.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps481b2736.jpg http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ps58476a32.jpg |
wow! fells good I'm sure!
|
Looks Great!!! Good luck with rest of project. Hopefully see ya on the lake come spring!
|
yea it felt really good to get past the glassing. Now its time to do all the pretty cosmetic work.
|
Great work! I assume it is gel on the outside and not paint? If so get the Fountain or Youth products they are the best I have found to use on gel coat to bring it back to life.

yea its gel. I'm probably gonna be using the 3M stuff I use for buffing out my paint jobs. I sanded it with 1000 1500 and buffed it and it came out real sweet. Next year I plan on repaint the whole boat. I just want it to look decent for this year
|
Painted the bay this weekend. Still needs one more coat to fully cover. Next weekend I'm gonna prep the outer transom to repaint. Got a bunch of useless holes in the back that need to be filled and primed.

Got some awesome progress done this weekend. I wanted to paint the transom while everything was stripped so I painted the back of the boat and got the transom assembly and other stuff installed. I also had to fix a crack on the bottom that was bugging me from a previous poor repair. Here's some pics of the before and after paint pics. Next year I will paint the rest of the boat with the silver and dark blue theme.
