Fixing (or even building) wooden boats could sometime be troublesome and stressful, but with a lot of knowledge and perseverance, one can truly see the wooden boat’s full potential once it is fixed or properly built. Thanks for sharing your experience in fixing your wooden boat!<br /><br /><a href="http://hayshydraulics.blogspot.com/2015/07/replacing-hydraulic-fittings-damaged-by.html" rel="nofollow">Boyd Caldwell @ Hays Hydraulics</a>Boyd Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09321463206818954162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638765920957629245.post-72209015321168800022015-04-04T00:19:59.673+10:002015-04-04T00:19:59.673+10:00Yes, I totally understand the running out of time ...Yes, I totally understand the running out of time thing! I think a series of posts about repair work would be very interesting, and I'm sure others could also benefit from that. <br /><br />My primary interest would be how to fix accidents affecting plywood/epoxy /fiberglass boats. I've made a couple kayaks, a canoe, and now SCAMP using those materials, and have not had the occasion to make any major repais, but would like to be prepared with some knowledge in the event it would happen some day.<br /><br />Thanks - DaveWoodnMetalGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650735119777059767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638765920957629245.post-37903693510013952242015-04-03T12:13:09.449+10:002015-04-03T12:13:09.449+10:00Dave, I would have done it last night, but I simpl...Dave, I would have done it last night, but I simply ran out of hours in my working day. My plan is to write a number of short (illustrated) posts about repair work and simple day-to-day workshop techniques. One interesting repair was to a 12-1/2' glued-lapstrake Whitehall which was in davits on the stern of a 12 ton auxilliary , and got caught on a marina pile on the way in. That was an interesting job!Ross Lillistonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04365414347565560334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638765920957629245.post-83253800831939123122015-04-03T08:49:05.921+10:002015-04-03T08:49:05.921+10:00Thanks for the blog post, Ross, but you left out t...Thanks for the blog post, Ross, but you left out the details on the very parts I'd be most interested in seeing!<br /><br />So if you do a future post on the nitty gritty details of truing up and patching the damage, I'd be most interested in that. <br /><br />Thanks - Dave http://woodnmetalguy.blogspot.comWoodnMetalGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07650735119777059767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638765920957629245.post-68348576880878494812015-04-03T08:34:25.599+10:002015-04-03T08:34:25.599+10:00Thanks, Simeon.

My own boat (designed and built by my Dad, and subsequently maintained by me and one of my sons, is now 45 years old and going as strong as ever!<br /><br />RossRoss Lillistonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04365414347565560334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8638765920957629245.post-74191027416166657722015-04-03T03:37:53.290+10:002015-04-03T03:37:53.290+10:00Thanks Ross -
