Cut out the glass for the hull.
Coated hull with epoxy at 6:30 pm. Let it set for 3 hours.
Started glassing at 9:30 pm and finished peelply at 12:30 am.
PH18 started

I am not sure what size engine they want but I think it is a 70 to 90 hp 4-strock. 200hp would be fun... ...I will watch from shore...LOL
So far they have about 34 man-woman hours it. Started last friday. The only thing I have done it draw out the parts on the plywood. The peelply is linen. Fairing will be quick, Kathy is use to doing fairing on large hulls up to 65'.
Thanks Joel for the quick shipping of the glass.

The reason I could afford the real thing is my sons company buys it in factory rolls (275 yds)@$3/yd. Retail is 6.50/ydshine wrote:Reel peel ply is expensive, try to find the nylon cloth at craft store. maybe $3 to $4 a yard, and it can be used several times.
It took about 12 yds which would be $78.
I could not imagine fairing a 65' boat Makes me tired even thinking about it.
Fillets, Tabs and cleats on all the stringers and bulkheads is also fun on a PH I must say. I would highly recommend glassing in the stringers and bulkheads before fairing to eliminate any hull movement and potential for introducing hooks and dips after it's faired. It takes some extra flips but that's easier than fairing again over a nicely painted hull.
