BlackWatch Carbon Fiber HardTop - Part 1

- Wanting a stable platform to fit onto the existing stainless frame, A carbon fiber hard top was constructed. This gives the boat extra storage for surf boards and kayaks, it's stable enough to stand or jump off of and the black carbon underside helps with sun glare. Check out how we made this in Part 1 of our 3 Part series.
That was awesome
Thank you & your crew
Great job, design, build, execution, video, audio, commentary, demo, editing
You're a phenomenal teacher
You should do it professionally
Please turn up the volume tho
Your step by step process, vibes & humbleness is simply amazing
Thank you
Think you so much for making this video. Looking forward to seeing more of them and getting some knowledge from you guys 👍🏼
Fascinating!
It really helps us to understand just how complex these things are to fabricate.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Needs more layers of cf..you shouldve sandwiched it too.. flexing like crazy
Why didn't use a honeycomb in the middle of the layers instead of a foam?
Considering it's going to weight bearing why didn't you layer more carbon fiber twill down?
honeycomb would just fill in with resin and make it to heavy.. honeycomb works best with preprg carbon.
Honeycomb works best for flat vertical surfaces, like bulkheads. That hard top is going to be curved. It OK for floors, as long as you cover it with a lot of glass and you reinforce mounting points. I fish on a boat that they used it for the floors, about half of the outside decks have been replaced with foam. Separation of the honeycomb from the outer layers is very common, requiring expensive replacement.
Rigidity should be in the structure of the hard top instead of relying on the carbon to stiffin it. Also low density foam under such a thin laminate will have a tendency to delaminate.
They are called pleats not darts, and you guys didn’t compromise the resin hardening by adding that glue to it? I’ve never seen that? And you didn’t really show the end result on that section, just wondering..
Hello, can you do for a car?
what sort of foam did you use?
Most of the projects you see here, we used corecell foam.
Odd mixing glues and then when did the outer skin go on? Also pleats not darts. Darts are cuts in fabric material. Still thanks for the vid.
Thanks for the info!
hi!
what kind of foam is that?
open cell or closed cell?
thank you!
great videos you have!
;-)
Second this question. Did you ever find out?
@@Dr.Vincent_D_Gilmer Wow, long ago i was interested in the subiect. My thinking now, after some research (again, long ago), is that that foam is closed cell. There is no reason for open cell. With closed cell the resin makes contact just the right amount, on the surface, and making the right mechanical lock (with its porous surface). This is what i know/understood. Good luck! Mircea
What foam do you use?
Most of the projects you see here, we used corecell foam.
What s name of second fiber?
I would like a list of all the products used for this build along with weights and amount of products used.
warren
At 4:09 in the video, they provide a list of materials.
what type of foam is it you used?
It is written on the foam. Divinycell H80, which i believe is a product of DIAB
What type of foam is that? @totalboatworks ?
PVC foam core, you can also buy it from CA Composites

Круто!!!
Would this cause radio interference?
We’re All That Bored if you aren't around to smell a fart, does it still stink?
james baker its a legit question. Carbon blocks radio signals. Curious if they experienced any issues.
from what? the GPS, RADAR and VHF Antennas are all mounted above the hard top and wired down to the nav equipment at the helm, what interference were you thinking?
Trayder27 just a curiosity question. Considering doing the for my buddy’s contender. I think you answered what I was looking for
Why cheap out and use a layer of fibreglass instead of carbon
just need the look.. and you save on haft the cost.
I found the whole process a bit questionable...
why not just infusion the hole thing and save time
