Glad you are getting it out the water. Much easier for you and you should be able to get the jobs done quicker once it’s under cover. Busy and productive winter coming up for you.
Be sure to put a lot of props under the boat, I have seen boats start to mold themselves around the stands and ended up going to the dump. Water is a good support to hold an old wooden boat together.
its going to be gorgeous boat when your done ,great your doing the work yourself that way in future years when anythings to be repaired you,ll know exactly how its put together,i imagine the biggest problem is sourcing the timber not like old days people were chopping up oak teak mahogany for fire wood having bonfires with it crazy ,price of it all now fortunes ,years ago demolition guys would fill their yards and sell on the good stuff they,re all gone aswell
A Labor of Love no doubt about it. Something to think about after she's on drydock that won't be original but $ave you a lot of money in the future would be to remove the out drives and both engines then replace the transom. Then after that you could build an engine mount for one single outboard engine. You will be out cruising in no time.⚓
Uncle Peter's repair didn't even last 35 years exposed to the elements? C'mon uncle Pete, I expected better from you. Why, I once repaired a wooden boat and that boat is still floating 96 years later! Thanks for another update :)
You got to realize at some pont that sealing wood with epoxy is kind of useless since overtime it will get brittle and will just fall off.A good two compound marine paint and gelcoat would have been a much better choice imo.btw, if youre transom has rot, you can be 99% sure your bulkheads and stringers are too. The transom is what you should have started with instead of cosmetics.
What make of engine does it have. My ex RAF tender was built by Vosper Thornycroft. Also, dont keep the boat out of the water too long, otherwise it will dry out and leak when you refloat it.
@@terrywilkins5266 After the war a previous owner changed out the original Perkins engines to twin Volvo Penta V6s their marinised Buicks. Amazing I would love to see some photos if you can send over some to finmacarthur@gmail.com
@@LakesideProductions unfortunately, in our move to our new house, pictures etc got lost in the move and, I had to sell the boat because we would be too far away from any marina. I watching intently you restoration. That Hull is called carvel built.
REMEMBER, when you first started messing around with this boat - I made a remark THAT FOR A REAL RECOVERY YOU NEED TO PULL THE BOAT ALONG THE SHORE.... AND HERE FINALLY it hatched - the right decision and it will bring SUCCESS.......
Something very satisfying in watching a wooden boat go back together. Keep it up!!
@@DeanofMachines Thanks for watching. Will do

I’ve played bingo in that Hall.

Hi I'm curious as to how your boat arrived at its present mooring, was it from the coast via Sligo, is Loch Gill a sea loch. 🤔
