- Welcome to part 7 of my series on Restoring my 2000 Bayliner capri.
It has been a long and bumpy road getting this boat Sea ready, but I am persistant and will get her in the water soon. Please take a few minutes of your day, sit back and watch as I continue the progress toward making a Relic finding boat for myself and my hunt buds.
Your should replace the outdrive Bellows every 2 years or every season depending on use.
if that tears you'll be taking on a lot of water quickly ;)
The drive bearing should be checked at that tome too and replaced if needed. Somehow I get the feeling yours bellows are original.
There is one on the exhaust and the drive shaft, the drive shaft one is more critical, but id change all of them
Thanks for the advice. If you saw my last video, the engine had hydrolocked. Instead of trying to fix it, I sold it to a young man who said he could fix it. It was hard to let her go after so much time and money was put into it. Thanks again.
Name her "The Treasure Seeker". You have put lots of hard work and love onto her. Can't wait to see her in the water.
restoring the bayliner part 8 coming soon. stick around. thanks for watching.
Good work there on the Bayliner ! Thanks for sharing :) Look forwards to seeing how it turns out :) New Sub here too. Best of luck ATB
Great looking floor job. Enjoyed watching. How about Bucket List for a name lol. Keep up the nice job. Take care.
If I don't get the deck done right, I should call it, Bucket on Board! Thanks for watching.
Sea Digger? seaologist , I’m on a Boat!! Shark Bait. Just a few ideas lol
bucket on Board !
Great work your doing there.
Thanks. I put in a late nighter tonight to get fiberglass cut and laid out. Rain all day tomorrow. Meh !!
@@DIGOLOGIST its nice seeing it coming together. Can't wait to see you get it on the water
hey John, try some rubbing compound on an orbital polisher and see if that takes the mold and mildew off the hull.
also, name the boat " Sea Hunter "
I plan to. I will consider the name.
I see the 2018 sticker. Mine was a 2012 sticker lol. I just got the new stickers last week.
I had to pay 1,500 dollars in past due luxury tax on my Bayliner like yours. I didn’t even realize you have to pay frikken luxury tax on a 19 foot boat. It’s not a Luxury liner for Christ sake, it’s a 19 foot family boat. But they wouldn’t let me register it until that was paid.
Little bastards gotta have their grubby little fingers in everything, including my 19 foot boat.
Sorry to hear that man. What state are you in? I remember not to move there! lol. Hope you get your boat in the water soon.
@@DIGOLOGIST
California of course. It’s all paid now.
Now i just need to run the boat on the trailer to make sure everything is good and then we can take it out!
@@wyattsdad8561 Hello, just wanted to get back to see how your boat project turned out. thanks
I'm Digging the Mossy Oak Shirt. Possible boat names 1: P-Town Yacht Club 2: Queen Anne's Bayliner 3: Schmuckless
how about the SS Dumbass! That's what I feel like on this project some days.
Pressure wash it instead of sanding or even a car wash spray nozzle.
Ooooo one more question!
It’s off topic. What’s a good metal detector for a beginner. My sons were asking me to get one and I think you’d probably know what direction to steer me in.
You can start with a low price bounty hunter to make sure they are really interested in the hobby. If they are you can upgrade to a mid priced machine like a Garrett ace 400 or AT Pro.
@@DIGOLOGIST okay thanks man!
Much appreciated
Not seeing a part 6 where you possibly covered this but at 5:04 on the side of the hull, where it is curved fiberglass, what material did you use for the flooring to make it even? Thanks!
I had got some airplane wing fiberglass from a friend for free. Its thin and I just pieced it along the wood before covering it with resin. Its not the most professional job, but I was only trying to make the wood waterproof. Look at the video where I painted the deck with non slip boat paint. Thanks for watching.
@@DIGOLOGIST thanks! Thinking on mine I might just take a angle grinder with a disc that carves wood and try to blend the top side of the hull into the plywood, then lay down a inch adhesive foam flooring on everything, hopefully it’s not to uneven. These seat frames are a pain in the a** lol!
Name of boat: Lambert's Micro Yacht
who is Lambert?
And what’s the material that was 249 a sheet? It’ll never rot? What’s it made of?
Coosa Board. Boaters swear by it. I went the less costly way because the boat is so old and I laid down fiberglass.
When's the next video! I want to see the new seats. I'm going to be pulling up my carpet and laying down some kiwi grip cuz I don't like the carpet always getting wet and staying wet for a long time. Did you install new carpet?
Thanks for watching. The cold weather and rain has delayed me finishing the Bayliner. Go to my video called Mail call & boat update . There are some pictures of the finished deck with new seats. Stay well and good luck on your boat project.
Were any of the stringers rotted?
I replaced a couple small pieces of wood under there and rebuilt the box for the storage hatch. It was in bad shape.
@@DIGOLOGIST do you feel like you got all the rot and it’s good for another 20 years now? I mean what caused all that rot and over how long of a period of time?
Did you use treated plywood on the decking ?
No I used untreated. But I sealed the top with a coat of fiberglass resin then put down fiberglass and resin again.
@@DIGOLOGIST I’m going thru a very similar process with my 93 maxum. I applied resin to some treated 1/2 in plywood and the resin doesn’t seem to take well to it. It has dry spots in it. Maybe not enough resin?
@@SuperDcopeland The chemicals used to pressure treat the plywood could be the problem. Sometimes the wood is still damp when you buy it and that too could cause a problem. Let me know how it turns out. I will have the final Bayliner video up tonight. please take a look and like and subscribe. Thanks.
@@DIGOLOGIST I figured out that I need to use poly resin. Was using epoxy and it seems to be harder to work with. Did you use poly or epoxy on your decking? And how did you protect the untreated wood on the back ?
@@SuperDcopeland I used fiberglass and 2 part resin. It was made for boat decks. Check out my reveal video. Good luck on your project.
Here I thought this was digology but it’s also boatology
More metal detecting videos coming soon! Thanks for watching.
