Scotty's time is worth nothing, so he'll waste a day
fixing a 300
dollar hull. I was paid 470.00 for a post insurance sea
trial last week
and make 70 dollars per hour. My time is not something
to
be wasted
when I can be sailing.

On Monday I made $2200 in 14 hours. You do the math.

But yesterday I spent 4 hours changing 2 motorcycle
tires,
about a $30 bill from a bike shop.

Go figure.

When I quoted the rate, they didn't bat an eye. I should
have charged more.

Glory!


The beehive tested was on a Mach1 Flying Monkey.

Max, why waste sailing time? Sell the thing to someone who wants the
job and buy a better Laser hull. They are very cheap and easy to find.
I have a nice hull for 300 bucks...you're too far away though.

I want to give the boat to some kids for the purpose of learning to sail.
Hate to just throw it away. With the exception of the hull/deck bond,
it's in relatively good shape.

Max
Doante it to the Muskegon Yacht Club...the kids there fix things all the
time...

I'm perfectly capable of repairing it. I've already repaired a hole in the
hull caused by a branch penetrating during a tornado. But I want to do it
only once: the right way.

This seems to be the consensus. Back to West System epoxy.


It's not the cheapest stuff, but it's tried & true.

I recently bought new cans of the stuff, so I'm equipped.


One way to fix this type of joint is to grind the gelcoat off the outside
and wrap fiberglass tape around it. Fill gaps with silica filler (WS 406)
and then slurry over that with microfibers (WS 403), then fiberglass tape.
When sanding it smooth, don't cut thru the cloth any more than you can
help it.

If you want it really strong, use a light biaxial tape such used for
airplane kits. I used some of this stuff for the first time

http://www.wicksaircraft.com/catalog...b58f72751 4db

or

http://tinyurl.com/nd2o3

and found it to be outstanding to work with... wraps easily, wets out very
evenly, strong enough for a battleship. The Cadillace way to do it would
be a strip of 1" then a strip of 2" over it.

It still won't be as strong as cutting the hull free from the deck and
rebonding them, but it should be a lot quicker.

Thanks, Doug.

What did you do? And why would you ask if they wanted a discount? Are ye
nuts?

A small white paper. Actually, they paid $1900 not $1500. I like them and
their company, and want more of their business.
