You have consistently put out some the most useful videos….thoroughly enjoyed your series on building the 29 ft bay boat, but this informational videos are invaluable as I tackle repairs on my boat
Well done..takes some of the mystery out in this kind of work for me as a novice. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your expertise. I have a 30 ft boat that I've had since 1988 and now trying to learn the best way to replace deck and change frome single inboard to bracket and twin outboards.
Great video. I built a 16’ runabout with plans from Glen-L but I used epoxy. The restore project I’m working on(1979 Checkmate), I used epoxy because I was familiar with it plus I needed the work time. Transom, stringers and floor. 1708 with epoxy. Do you ever use epoxy?

Keeping coming thanks for sharing family legacy Capt Joe and regards to the rest of the family!
Great stuff Capt Joe and thank you for helping me find a supplier
Best video on glass work on utube.
Great Video Joe!! This sorta information is no where to be found, and learning glasswork from “old timers” can be both great and misleading at times
Great Video as always!!! Can you please explain what you mean by “finishing cloth”…..Thanks!!!
you mentioned on working with fiberglass, kay down CSM first then woven roving, would it be safe if we do CSM then woven roving then another woven roving then biaxial or just alternate the material like CSM then woven roving then biaxial? thank you. please reply.
Hey Joe, I wanted to share that I fully restored my 1983 Wellcraft V20 in 2007-2008. During the process, I replaced all the wood in the hull. Your videos would have been incredibly helpful back then; I had to self-educate through countless hours of research. Your content is truly invaluable. Thank you!
You are the man Joe! Keep up the great and educational content brother!
The content of your videos are so helpful, thanks so much for taking the time to create and share you’re an absolute legend 👍🇦🇺
Amazing video Joe.
When you get a repair project in your shop lead us through steps like you did it now. I think repair video will get a lot of views 😍
I believed it should be noted that you cannot used CSM with epoxy because it is held together with styrene but you can use 1708 because it is stich no styrene. 🙂
This video was very helpful. I am in the process of fully restoring my 15 ft skiff and I have no glassing experience at all.
thank you
Hey Capt. Joe! Thanks for the great instructional videos. Loved seeing you and Mark running the lagoon in your beautiful new boat!
