Hullsides bodyworked. Stbd side had a lot of junk on It from years of racing. Ripped it all right down to glass. Epoxy fairing compound on the whole side. Fresh laminate on the deck to lock it down. Lots of heavy grind marks. Core exposed, and years of weather on the exposed laminate.

Put a heavy, thorough fresh scratch into the deck. Full cap. Closed a bunch of through holes.

now we will have fresh glass to work out on.

front seats bases built

Receiver getting mounted next.

few pics of our huge 46 build if anyone’s not following on our Facebook.

it’s not for the faint of heart. Our lead times are getting better. But if you see that (unnamed) boat we’re doing the bottom on. That’s the issue. Boat comes in for a blue print. And we are taking a circular saw to the bottom and adding lifting strakes. Multiply that by the 15 projects we have year round. It’s frustrating. I envy these shops that get fresh new boats. Paint them and send them out the door.

that little 27 squadron we did. Owner just wanted to fix the transom , and put a paint job on it. 2 years later, full structure. Full deck delete. Moved the bulkhead 4 times. Custom windscreen , 2 new tanks. New floors etc etc etc. it’s a full resto mod lol. 😆 it’s tough I’m not going to lie.

Ugh, yep that’s exactly what I mean! Once you find that stuff and tell the boat owner it would be like well here we go lol!

you and your guys have some serious patience!

Nice work, glad to see your accomplishments over the years. "Glass Phil"..... Working on a Magnum sport with direction of Glass Dave when i have time to get at it. After doing the work you get a understanding of why it costs as much as it does.

With the 368 pleasure conversion, will it be 6 or 8 seat? Maybe 8 isn’t possible. Look forward to that one!
