Awesome, sounds like another great gel scheme and I know I am not the only one curious to follow the build of the 26 db.

Awesome, nothing like a deck boat mold to completely screw you up with the whole upside down and backwards and insert thing. Standard v's is easy enough to see, but with decks I've always had a hard time getting my head around what you are really looking at. Credit to all you guys working upside down and backwards.

i still have no clue how you guys work backwards like that.


do you ever do something and realize you messed up and have to start over? maybe gel didnt kick or something? customer changed his/her mind, etc... whats the process like to pull gel out of a mold without a hull attached to it?

I had a boat back about 6 years ago, we did a boat with checkers and other colors.........sent pics as I taped and painted.......guy waited till the base and pins were sprayed to say he wanted the checkers moved.....and I had to blow out to put the checkers 4 inches further towards the chine.........happy times.......eye protection, air chuck, and just start a little edge and poof.....keep blowing till it is all out.........other than that, I've been fortunate.........

as for gel not kicking, that is usually an airless issue.....seals go out in the catalyst pump without warning.......I use my pressure pot exclusively......never had it not kick when using this..........you always have catalyst that way.......catalyse by hand.......if you get distracted and forget if you catalyzed, if it is winter, add 15 more cc's, if it is summer, dump it and mix a fresh........

Really liking this deck boat. Being able to turn the passenger seat around is a nice option. Thanks for all the pics and updates.
