Adding lead ballast to a Com-Pac 16 sailboat

Adding 105 pounds of lead while repairing concrete in my Com-Pac 16 keel
And using less concrete to lower foot well in cabin by 1.25"

You are one hard working dude. Like having a can do it all uncle living next door. Amazed at all the skills and creativity you bring to your projects. Great job!

[@theboatnik1328]

Thank you sir!

[@fredrappley6960]

Nice work!

[@theboatnik1328]

Thank you!

[@robertscholz4486]

Nice neat fix ... too bad you couldn't squeak another inch out of it ... every inch counts in a small boat!!! Great job!

[@theboatnik1328]

Thanks
That was as low as I could go and still keep a flat sole

[@bertdownriver]

Did you take out the floatation? If so will you add that back somehow?

[@theboatnik1328]

No I did not remove any floatation or foam
I did not remove the concrete under the cockpit as it was not damaged

I’m sorry but you using wrong mask, respirator.
It doesn’t hold any fumes, charcoal NIOSH filter is needed, a specially if you work in such confined space 😏
You can harm your self this way so there will be no happy sailing after 🤷🏻‍♂️
And I would precut fiberglass before I mix hardener with an epoxy

[@theboatnik1328]

Thanks for the advise and concern
And for watching!
