so since i have received numerous complaints that if i post a picture i must tell what it is and what i did .. don't understand why you can't look at the pictures and understand so ill try my best to turn this into how to build a boat section rather than pictures of my progress ...

tires mounted on rims , trim rings installed , center caps installed but will have to be removed to mount tires no access to lug nuts

new side boards for the fender pads i have cut them to shape recessed the back for trailer issues on one than i applied a coat of resin to both sides and installed t nuts to fasten them on the trailer,, next i will apply foam and wrap them in vinyl after i do the ghost flame stitching on the vinyl324383243932440i also radiuses the top edge it was the only place the vinyl was wearing out , my thought was a nice 3/4" radius will ease the hard edge and get better wear324413244232443

disclaimer: I am not a tech person , this is not meant to be used as you must do it like this, its me a soldier doing it the way it works for me, haters keep your comments to yourself thank you for looking

OG - you should have started with my boat bar hull!!! it looks like you would have had a lot less wood and fiberglass work than what you started with here!.... But good job on the resto!!! that was some project you had there. I really like this hull shape and design for an old school style- very nice!

What are the spacers for? Is that the way it was or did you want the boat so sit higher?

http://www.hotboat.com/frm/attachment.php?attachmentid=32487&d=1391648471 since the bunks are longer than the flat part of the hull the bunks bend down in the midgle and once the weight is on them it sits nice and cozy front to rear

or better explanation the bottom of the hull is kind of banana shaped so when the center almost touches the frame both ends are frim on the bottom of the hull right below the stringers, i had to move them a few inches to get them under the stringers where they should be

Believe me, I feel your pain on that one, well in my case it might be a little of both. Don't sell them though. You deserve great boats that you've wanted for so long. You have them now, so even if they get put on hold, at least you know they are there.

Don't rush him. When he hurries is when he will make a mistake. And then it will have to go back to be repaired. He needs a secretary or foreman to plan his work day and keep him on track. Time management is not his strong suit.

Sorry to hear that. I know you liked Stu. The fact that in the past you would have felt obligated to defend him is a large part of why I've never posted about the crappy job he did on the Litchfield. You're a good guy and you would have gone out of you way to right a friend's wrong.

Just make extra sure that wood is dry before you glass it. I'm pretty sure that's why the deck on the wife's boat is delaminating. And if you want some help trying to reason with Stu, I'd be glad to come back out. Between us two frail old men with bad backs, I'm sure we could find a way to reason with him. If nothing else, we'd make great witnesses for each other.

taking it back, so i can get the body work done in a few days rather than 6-9 months for a day of filler
than goes back for a 1-2 year paint job i guess

I think if you pay up front ... it gets the other guys boat done quicker..... "robbing peter to pay paul".... ever hear of that term???

somebody on another site said this guy Stu just doesnt charge enough to get the job done.... maybe theres some truth to that?

SnoC653
05-29-2014, 12:41 PM
I had Stu do the Litchfield because he was close to where the boat was, his price was the lowest of the two people I spoke with about the boat, and I was deployed and not in a hurry. I checked with several people who all said Stu had the skills to do a great job and had been in business for a long time.

Since then, I found out that Stu is not good at managing time or money and when rushed does half assed work. He's big on excuses and promises to make things right. He even said he was going to come to Iowa to fix the Litchfield paint that was blistering off the boat within a month of getting it back to Iowa. He hasn't followed through on any of his promises and since he doesn't have a pot to piss in, is there any thing to gain by suing him?

I don't think he'll be very happy the next time I make a trip out to see him on the matter.

well made some progress on the bottom of the boat ,,, and not much else since , he says now that he has some arm damage due to using a vibrator sander for many years that he needs .... more time maybe a few more years or so to finish the bottom.

the funny thing is there is really no sanding to do.. and i said i would sand anything to keep it moving along .. felling bummed

Do you see the remnant of whatever permanent adhesive he used? There is a reason I ask, but if it's there the next question would be: when did he apply it and why didn't it stick? I feel your pain and hope your Stu job turns out better than mine.

What's it matter? You have jet bote headers! Lol

Jet boat conversion. Or ditch the headers all together and put a whacker on it. Just think you could add third row seating and sell rides to the bar to cover all your costs.

So the strut is gone and the holes where the hardware all bolted are filled. Sounds like it is time to do a 100% re-rig job. Maybe a 7 degree drop thru strut, a new 10 degree V-drive with a whirl-away? Good luck, a quick job that just got a lot harder. Be sure to get good help when it comes to placement of the engine and strut.

yes there was a quarter size glob of some black stuff .. the strut base is 4" x 8" so it had about 1/20th coverage

I know there is a simple explanation, but why wasn't the strut just wrapped in a towel and place inside the boat?
