Nah i left the hole open i thought one sided patch was ok so went a head and put the floor down, there is 1 layer of cloth sort of covering the hole from the inside
Should i lengthen the feathered area for more contact area?
I am doing kind of alot of ####ed up ways on this build seems like i am almost turning every wrong corner
N someone give me an idea what the boats worth or what a 19 foot vintage 1960-1970's era rough rebuilt hull is worth with my 90hp merc and aluminium trailer?
Its not for sale or sale porpous, im just curious as to price and what i should be asking the insurance company to cover me for
Im in it about 16k
I tried researching on gumtree but most of the CC's are 4.5-4.8 meters mines 5.7 meters so quiet a difference
Gazza, that looks bigger than a 1” hole. Was it the old thru-hull transducer?Originally Posted by gazza2006au
Shakey - If only I lived near the coast

Can you cut an inspection hole to work from the inside then put a round cover over it? Those plastic screw off inspection ports are cheap.
I realised i fu here with this hole but i cringe at thinking i need to cut a hole in my floor
The guy that does boat works on youtube posted thisvideo on holes
You tube videos are a lot different to actually doing it yourself, especially as you will be working upside down.
I plan on wetting out the layers of cloth on a coles bag than wet the hull and stick x amount of layers on in one go than roll out the air
I cant imagine trying to lay on my back wetting out one layer and stickibg it on the hull at a time
The pre wetting out on a plastic bag seems a much easier idea i just really hope it works
Buy a high quality inspection port and put one in each side
Do it right fix it properly
For someone so afraid of sinking why cut corners
Yep agree, there's all sizes available, if no one will ever walk on it, then the cheap ones will do fine, I just re-read most of the thread and can't see where you said you had not repaired the holes, but then, I can't see where you said you did either, I kind of thought it was obvious to do the inside first, but it's too late now.
So you are just going to slap some patch's on the bottom of the hull and then onsell the boat and import a decent one from the USA..?
You need to listen to the guys above..
Do it properly so some other poor sucker doesn't end up swimming home or worse...
Guysnah i really dont want to cut up my floor those hatcheswill look really out of place and bodged
The way im seeing it the sea wster can only push against the patch meaning push the patch against the hull so long as i prep it good and roll out the air really there shouldnt be anyway water could forcefully peel it off as its all force just pushing the laminate on harder
your seeing it wrong
the whole hull flexes during use, trailering, launching retrieving and so on it isnt a rigid structure.
the patches just peel off after de laminating
