scotie dosent now


great job scotie :)

thank you, great job on the footage.

Great step by step, EXCEPT... I don't think it would've taken more than an hour for that particular repair. If it were a big boat, and required a lot of handling to flip the boat over etc., but reality is it couldn't have taken more than 30-45 minutes of actual labor, hardening/drying etc. Maybe another hour, but that's not manual labor. MY BIGGEST concern in that repair was that he didn't wet the repair itself. You should ALWAYS apply the resin to the repair before laying the glass, or you can bet there are voids under the first sheet. There just wasn't enough resin on the glass itself to adhere to that repair. Even if there was, ALWAYS wet the repair down first for proper bonding. It may be the most important step after grinding/cleaning the repair area (which was a good job). Overall, the video showed most of the important steps, it's really just the wetting of the repair before applying that first piece of FIBERGLASS that had me yelling at the screen LMAO! I'm looking for some video tricks on how to properly repair the STRAKES on a PWC after about ripping it completely off. Problem is, it's not accessible from the inside, as the hole is under the motor mount, which is epoxied on VERY THICK. I'm thinking this needs to be removed, which will quadruple the time to repair, and be a huge job due to re-aligning the motor mount plate properly, as well as sealing it down. Was hoping to find a "trick of the trade" somewhere, to see if something could be a solid repair from the outside of the hole, with only the hole size being the access to the inside of hull otself... hard to explain...

Thank you guys

He mixed up so much resin for "sech" a small repair.

lmao 4 hours for that repair??? I'll do a repair like that in 1 hour lmfao even tho i make 40 an hour, respect the customers, stop ripping them off assholes

Thanks, thorough demonstration. Appreciate that you edited this to be a clear and detailed help.

Excuse my ignorance, new to boats, however i would prefer to work with wood any day over fiberglass...I hate that stuff..I don't care how much maintenance wood requires.

And any fool that would pay $500 for this should not own boats..ah, perhaps they should..the industry needs them..like cars and everything else I suppose.

Excellent video, I will follow these steps to make my repair. Directions and printed material are too complicated to follow and keep straight without experience and knowing which products to use.

$500 is a lot. The quality of work was great, but how do you justify $500?

0:45: "...go about fixing sech a problem."  sech?  really?

Thanks for putting this video up. Good to see how the pro's do it.

Yeap these are the steps a fiberglass guy taught me years ago when I left school
nothing to hard about it just technique as always
Skim coat is just a fine car bog or talc and qcell mixed with polyester resin

this might just be the worst iv seen yet. I understand not giving away all trade secrets. but. non informative at all guys. and by the way. even in video color was was off. should have started with straight white and added yellow ocra and red ocra and. always always always. wet out the surface with resin before you put your Matt down you need a chemical as well as physical bond.

Learn how to do it and keep your $ out of these clowns pockets

Too bad the subtitles dont wook

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

Amazing. Excellent work gentlemen.
