Vlog 349: A Soggy Bottom
Ignoring, for the moment, the vast gashes I have carved into the back of the boat which will need fixing later, in this episode I tear into the transom and start removing the – extremely soggy – wooden core.

That was a short vlog David. Keep with it young man! Many a bloke would have given up long ago, so I’ll take my hat off to you sir! Ignore those arm chair critics, you’re doing fine!
Thanks Barry
Ah! I thought you might edit it. Cheers
I prefer the comments are focused on the topic at hand – boats – rather than veering into or potentially provoking off-topic discussion.
When you got the left side panel off and the bits of wood just fell out, I have to admit to shuddering a bit. Oy.
Your resourcefulness is still top notch! Well done on problem solving as you go!
And yay for neighbors with tea kettles.
Does the issue with temps for the fiberglass resin mean you may not be able to finish before spring? Or can you have the boat pulled into some kind of conditioned shed at the marina for that step?
Again, well done. Cheers from Virginia, USA.
I shuddered too!! The yard I’m at does have sheds for boatwork but they’re crammed full of other boats in various states of disrepair so unfortunately Twiggy will remain outside and yes, the colder temperatures mean I’m unlikely to do any further transom work now until the Spring (unless we get an unexpectedly warm few days).
