COOSA COMPOSITE STRINGER, TRANSOM REINFORCEMENT, KNEE BRACES Sleekcraft SST Sunday #13

Thank you for your support! Have you ever wondered how to build an extremely high performance boat hull on a budget? In this episode, I’ll show you how to reinforce your transom through a layering of fiberglass cloth, woven roving, and tabs tie into the hull; I'll show you how to create a composite stringer by gluing together strips of Coosa Bluewater 26 together with some resin, how to measure the shape of your stringer and cut/profile it to fit your hull, and how to add a TON of strength for a monster outboard by building some knee braces that stiffen everything a substantial amount. The success of my SST project was pretty unexpected; viewers like you helped pay for the fiberglass resin & supplies needed to finish this project! As a thank you, I'll be doing a new video every sunday; Sleekcraft Sundays! I picked up a crazy rare ultra high performance twin tunnel hull ModVP Sleekcraft SST for $500! This was one of sleek's fastest hulls ever, and was famous for racing in the ModVP series in 70s/80s/90s before it was banned for being too dangerous! This thing is going to need EVERYTHING, but I'll show you how you can tackle all these major repairs without spending a lot of cash by doing almost everything yourself.
