Might have to enlist your services. Found a ton of spider cracks in the gel coat so those have to be ground down, filled and sanded. Then I can get back to learning how to polish.

Wow this has been an incredibly taxing project. Know it will be worth it when you are done.

All the fillets are done now. Just gotta get the motivation and time for the next layer of glass and such. This was about 6 liters of resin, so about $60 in materials. Starts going quick laying this stuff down, fiberglass is a lot cheaper than resin.

Pardon my blurry pictures, my phone went for a ride on the jeep and ended up in a culvert. The camera lense is all cracked but other than some dents on the corners everything else is fine. Just have to order a new lense for $2 plus 10$ in shipping

I'm only 3700 into this one. A new boat like this would be about 16-18k.

What engine is in that Bayliner Clint?
Is it an outboard? I had an 87 with a 4.3 inboard/outboard. Good boat but really heavy.
