While other lucky souls were out enjoying a weekend on the waterwe spent another hot and sticky weekend in the shed
Day 40 - Saturday
An afternoon of glassing saw the side pockets done, a layer of glass added at the gunwale (there didn't seem to be much holding the deck onto the hull) and the port floor laid.
Day 41 - Sunday
Early in the day the starboard floor was glassed,
then some rearranging was done in the shed as the time had come to turn this baby over! [smiley=shocked2.gif]
Our young fella (who has avoided us like the plague during the glassing) jumped at the chance to help! A quick inspection of how the U-bolt is holding up
UP we go
This could end in tears
A bit of a shove here and there....
some lifting and slewing....
and she's over at last!
Well that went better than I'd anticipated
UMMMM why?
Looking good though ,my congrats to the builders
cheers jon
Ummm, because it seemed like a good idea at the timeOriginally Posted by familyman

Nah, fibreglass & flowcoat don't really like to go on upside down, so this seemed to be the easiest way to do the rest of the interior work.... and we're also re-gelcoating the exterior so it will make that easier too.
doing a great job guy's but not all of us are out fishing some of us are still stuck at home but then again a bottle of Jack helps fix things
No pain tonight
That would have been scary turning her over i bet You's both had a few Cougars before attempting that
You are going to have a brand new boat at the end of all this and the best part is you's done it so you will appreciate that much more.
Keep up the great work
Cheers Phil

We see things not as they are, but as we are.
My only concern now Bev is when you get under neath the boat to keep this good story going is you are going to get lots of resin drip in ya hair.
cheers

Play-Pen lost her name

Day 43
Did zero, zip, nada on the Play-Pen. Went shopping late afternoon, bought two small sanders.... one square, one mouse shaped.... then to our favorite restaurant for an early dinner. While we ate, we admired the vessels moored in the cove. Belly full of Prawn Cocktail & Lobster Mornay.... life is good
Have to buy one of those Gas heaters for ya next camping trip
