Damage boat project

Mike, good job. You do fast work. Looking great. Won't be long before she gets wet!

that bike is just the right bike , yr& color and the 750 was the king and comes with the always fun death wobble.   I would actually love another one.

WOW...a friend of mine from work had a 750 when they 1st came out. We were all riding Honda 350's. Were afraid to ride the Kaw.....

Great looking boat!

You got this done in record time.

Let us know how it runs when you test it.

Thanks. I want to get it in the water again but looks like rain in Seattle till Friday.

Two big thumbs up!!

Congratulations Mike!   super fast repair, and ready for the summer.   Looks like the Lake is Full already.   They probably didn't have much fill to let in this year with all the rain we've had.    Is that the Bonney lake Launch?    

D@mn dude! That seemed fast. Good job. Keep us informed.

That's the boat ramp on inlet island, i live about 30 seconds from it. So it makes it very easy for testing. Weather looks good for Friday, sunny and 65. Will be the hottest day of the year so far.
Thanks for all the help from the site, it would have been glued together and at the bottom of the lake without you guys.

The h2 will most likely be put on hold until i finish my truck, That's what i was working on before i came across the boat project. Im going to keep my eye open for anymore boats with the same issue. Was a fairly easy fix, helps that everything is so easy to get to.

Did I miss it or were no pictures posted of the final repairs (in/out)?

Yeah--Mike--we all feel like we skipped an episode here. We went from alignment to water test with no view of the last and final finishing steps.

That being said, I cannot tell you how happy I am for you. I get out to Seattle on business a few times per year and I'd love to see it in the flesh and hear it run. I've got a buddy north of you who talks about getting into a boat but who doesn't have the $$ to do it who also is nowhere near as fearless as you are when it comes to projects.

Please send us some final pics so we can all satisfy our curiosity and close the book on this insanely happy adventure.

Took it out today. Boat ran great!

Soooo, is she a flipper or a keeper?

I followed this thread for a while, amazed at the pace of the work. Like many, I suspected a bit of "corner cutting"...
On April 11, he showed bondo under the hull, later that same day, he indicated he took it out and was replacing with epoxy.
On April 20, He stated that the bondo was still present, and was water-testing.
So, While I remain impressed with the enthusiasm for the work, I suspect that much of the detailed advice and suggestions of the more experienced may not have been followed, resulting in a slap-dash repair. I, for one, would not want to own this boat.
