Here's the map to my shop

 

Here's a Whaler, that apparently at the factory, they got a shot of TOO MUCH catalyst in the resin. It didn't show up for years , but when it did it looked like melted plastic.
it was pretty easy to cut out the bad area and then just build it up.

 

Here's several examples of gelcoating and webbing jobs that I've done.
Gelcoat is the strongest coating that gives the longest life to floors that I've ever seen.
One of the biggest reasons,is that when you're done fishing, you just take a water hose to it.It not only cleans very easy, it DRIES so much faster then other coatings,it helps in the floors longevity.
I recommend a light color for the base, that's easy on the eyes, and webbing it with two colors that match the boat.
It aslo touchs up well years after its done.

 

here's the RIGHT way to do a transom.
If its a runabout style like this one you cut it from top of the deck, NOT the back side of the transom.
They weren't built that way at the factory, so why everybody thinks they can cut one out from the back and make it stay for any length of time, beats me?
After digging out the rotten wood you make a new transom from scratch.Fiberglass and clamp it in with special clamps.
Then refit the deck, do your fiberglass repair on it. that way even if you have any trouble later on, it will be away from the transom.
I've built boats with wood and composite. I prefer wood to composite. Will use either one. here's the thing though. Composites just like wood. There's cheep wood, and there's good wood.There's cheep composite, and there's good composite.
I can make a new transom that will hold up for twenty years if its taken care of. But if you want one of GOOD composite ,the price is going to be rather impractical, especially when you're probably talking about working on a boat that's 20 years or older

 

Hers a boat that suffered some Ike damage. they found a refrigerator in the boat after it was all over!

 

Here's a pic of a custom Camo paint job I did here for a guy. the colors and scheme are quite different for salt water and inland duck hunting boats

 

We're working on the pic.!:headknock

 

Here's a couple of old wooden boats my dad built.
Ones a 16 footer standard runabout, and the others a 18ft hardtop.
Both around 1958

 

That's a 24ft 1964 Cabin My dad built

 

Heres a 1958 hard top my dad made

 

this is I believe a 26 footer around the same time

Here's a scooter I built a raised platform and put a new floor on.

 

Here's a couple of fiberglass end caps I made from scratch
