Here they are. Got the gas tank foamed and glassed in today. also the mid cabin bunks are glassed in, and the bow is balsa cored. Tomorrow I'll have the forward bunk done, and the floor in the cabin. Then the last of the glasswork will be the strainer support on the starboard battery board. Till tomorrow...........................
PS, when are you and Marcy coming to look at your Babi ?

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Rick, So We Are Getting Close To Interior Gel Coat Of Hull ??? Does Deck Go On Before Or After Blueprinting ?????? Thanks Rick !!!! GARY

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

My guess is Friday for gelcoating the interior of the hull. Finisher glassing the forward bunk and floor in the cabin. Also glassed in the Strainer mounting board. All that is left is the board for bildge pumps, then its a day of cleaning and fairing all the glass. Then it's gelcoat time !!!
The hull is popped from the mold, then clamped back in. It's flipped while in the mold, then the mold is lifted off it. The hull will then be blue printed. Put back in the mold then flipped back over.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

GREAT TO HEAR WHATS NEXT ON SUPERBABI !!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT BY SUPERBOAT NEXT WEEK !!!! RICK DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BE BLUEPRINTING BY THE 14TH ????????? :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Well, we have the room in the shop now. Took the other Y2K to the rigging shop today. Have to make two boat beds first before I pull your hull. They only take 2 days each.
Gary, I'll have some more pics for you tomorrow. Soo figure around 8:00 have your popcorn ready.

FX10...Specs on beds? Length? Beam? H.P. rating? http://photos.imageevent.com/superba.../wellfunny.gif ... I seen one awhile back.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Hey Gary, Bash and everyone,
Long day again. Superbabi is almost done. Finished all the glass work today Bump drain boards are glassed in. Also cut out the balsa ( 3" circle)in the engine compartment for the depth transducer, and glassed it before I went home. Sanded the entire cabin, it's now ready for gelcoat. I would have sanded the engine compartment, but I had to wait because of the transducer. It will be done tomorrow.
These pics are of the cabin interior. All the glass is now sanded and ready for gelcoat. And in the engine compartment, the removal of the Balsa so the transducer can be installed. I remember someone asking me how it's done. Hopefully he'll see the pics.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Transducer mounting.
First use a 3" hole saw to cut hole. Set drill length at 3/16" depth. Just cut through the fiberglass in top of the Balsa, then use a chisle or screw driver to pry the glass off the Balsa. Then chisle out the Balsa as in the photo. Go all the way untill you are to the hull, Sand area. Next apply layers of mat to build up the desired thickness. Remember to make it level or the tranducer won't read properly. Also MAKE SURE there are no air bubbles or pockets in the mat you are applying , or the transducer won''t reat correctly.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Hey Rick,

Have you mounted transducers back there before? I thought if you were anywhere aft of the step you will get airated water? I have mine mounted on the transom and it only works at idle speeds. I would like to mount mine like that but I don't think I have the BALLS to drill that hole!

Dave M.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Hey Rick, All Quiet With Babi Today ????????????????

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

Whats up Gary,
Worked on the deck today. Glassed on the lifting tubes for pulling the deck. Also gelcoated the deck. Hopefully I''ll pull the deck tomorrow.

Dave,
Yes, to your question about mounting a transducer back there. The Y2K "All Rise" had his installed back there. When you drill the hole with the hole saw. Set the depth of the pilot bit to around 3/16" past the hole saw. You only want to cut through the glass over the balsa core. A Roto Zip comes in handy here.

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
 

RICK, LOOKING GOOD !!!!!!!!!! SPOKE TO JC TODAY, FOUND HOTEL NEAR BY. SEE YA FRIDAY !!!!!

Re: Superbabi !! Heres your pics of your Y2K
