Daytona Photos

Here are some random photos, and comments.

Trailering home, I noticed the 21 got 12.5mpg, without the motor, while the 19 got 14.5 loaded. The boat rides MUCH nicer with a tandem trailer.

I got a shop, 30x60 and I'm loving the space.

The rail was pretty beat up all over the front, and it was silver in th back at the waterline, and gold up front. The rubber turned to plastic.
No photos of the greyhounds.
Garage is heated.

Here's what I have after playing around the shop.

The pumps are out of the boats. The engine is ready to leave the Hallett, and the MSD is ready to be sent to MSD.


I started sanding down some of tha areas theat needed attention. Like I mentioned in another thread, there were screws protruding from the sponson. This is the right sponson, inside.


So, a little grinding uncovered this lousy attempt at repair. This is right sponson, the outside lifting surface. No biggie, I'm remembering my bodywork days.



Here, you get the idea of location.


Sanding dust really shows the stress cracks. This is the left sponson.



This is the left sponson crack. Some grinding revealed a soft spot. The resin never made it to the cloth, and was delaminating.


There are two theories to the damage...
One, someone bypassed the trailer and attempted to land the boat into the back of a truck with the tailgate open.
Two, someone turned the truck way too sharp, and the left sponson got the pinch against the bed. Nothing that can't be fixed. But my GF is going to get very familiar with the inside space of the sponsons and glass work.

Good Luck with the new ride!!!

Just keep building the glass over the hole.

Are we capping it as well
