New Bracket Project.

[bigshrimpin]

Well . . . I thought I'd post some pics of my latest fiberglass project . . . well the first fiberglass (and maybe the last) project to come out of my garage. I did all the glass work and then John took it home and did an amazing job fairing, sanding, painting. I'm really pleased to see how well it came out.

It's not mine . . . it's a friends 23 seacraft. We made a trade bracket for a old boat (22 seawolf WA).

Total weight is about 150 - 175lbs . . . It tooks 15 gallons of iso polyester resin, 40 yards of 1708 and one sheet of 3/4" marine ply for stringers , transom, and to core the swim platform.

Great job, absolutely wonderful!!
And the gallery link, Thanks BS!

That's it!!

that look like a sweet deal if the motor checks out. i see why you put a bracket on it, low transom and wide open. i had a 74 Mako transom like that and was scary at times..

[macojoe]

wait till that bracket cracks and falls off!

 

[bigshrimpin]

The owner gave it the old speed bump in the school yard test driving home after mounting the motor at the boat yard . . . The bracket is solid as a rock no flex at all

Those Seacraft's are some nice rigs. I've checking out the classicseacraft website..really nice stuff.
