Great job mate mate. No corners cut and everything done right. Hats of to you re gel coating a boat and getting that finish is a lot of hard work. Impressive mate well done
Great rebuild video. For me, it validates the path I took to achieve a similar goal. My project was a 19 Ft Pelin Nomad Aquarius new build. 200 hours, plans for the build, a few sheets of marine ply, screws, primer, paint, and a sheet of Acrylic.
Epic build mate. You did one hell of a restoration. Guys like you are the reason I keep my Haines knowing that one day the rebuild will be worth it. Would love to see this on the water, bet it flies with the new 150 merc!
Great eye for detail, a lot of work but well worth it and better than new. I had a V163C for 15 years or so which punched well above its weight but I'm told those 17's were the best of them so good choice and nice to see one have another lease on life.
Well done mate 👍 looks perfect 👌 Good way for people to see what a 500hrs plus rebuild takes. You should be very proud of your efforts and it is awesome knowing the hull is rebuilt the way you like. 👍👍👍👍
Thanks mate yeh 500 hours is probably cutting it a bit short but yeh I’m happy how it came up it’s my first rebuild so definitely learned a few things along the way
@@adventuresofvikilu1028 Yeah, I’m sure if you kept a log on hours it would be scary. I’m doing a full rebuild on a little Haines seawasp at the moment with thermo and vinylester, that will probably end up at 400hrs 😂. It’s ok, it’s for me. Well done again on your efforts mate, looks awesome 👍
This is awesome! I read it was your first rebuild, how did you know what to do? I have an old Savage Escort and I wouldn't even know where to start. Thanks
@@adventuresofvikilu1028 nice mate... Knowing boat builders would be nice. I have a weird pod style type transom on mine not a straight one so I'm already up against it.
awesome mate this gives me motivation to get my skimmer craft finished, i live in kippa ring..so where did you buy your gear? Coosa board, resin and matting etc etc? you got a new subby
