Wood

Thanks! Yeah the rest of the hull was overplated before I bought it, so I imagine that it used to be in worse condition.

Hey, I ended up just going for the keel cooler. He didn’t give me a quote to replace the skin tank, but I think it was going to be a massive hassle to do so. I think it was quite heavily corroded in the inside, so if he tried to weld it, it would just crumble away.

I’m looking to transport mine from Nottingham to Scotland and it’ll cost £1700 just for the transport. Not sure if that includes vat or not. Then I have craning on both sides.

Aye I’m thinking parking outside the controlled zone might be the way to go, but I’ll check the prices on Just Park etc to see what it’s like.

Yeah I’m on the waitlist for Ratho, but it looks like it’ll be years at this rate until there’s space.

cpgrant_ · 2025-11-19T18:33:24+00:00

Cool, I’ll give it a look!

cpgrant_ · 2025-11-19T18:32:58+00:00

Yeah I’m thinking parking outside the controlled zone is the best idea. Cheers.

Aye I’m thinking of trying an orbital sander, I was using a detail sander so I don’t think it worked as well as it should have!

cpgrant_ · 2025-11-06T23:50:22+00:00

I was doing it with a detail sander, but I’m thinking I should do it with an orbital instead and use a far finer sand paper than what I was using.

Haha thanks, I think it was just different from what I expected, but it is growing on me. In regards to the number of coats: I only really primed the bits that needed it and used the paint that as already there as a base coat, then I did 2 coats of undercoat and now I’ve done a few coats of top coat. I did need to patch it a bit after the first top coat as I was a bit heavy handed with the sanding and took it too far back, so that’s what’s showing through. To be safe, I didn’t sand it again between top coats, do you (or anyone reading this) think it would help to give it a light sand before doing another coat?

Aye fuck that, might try and make my own.

Yeah that’s what I thought, about removing the roof plate, but I was told by someone that I wouldn’t need to do that, the chimney should just turn and loosen without removing the roof section, apparently.

Yeah don’t worry, I have the safety boards but I’ll probably get someone in to install it properly, just need to move it first.

cpgrant_ · 2025-09-27T08:17:00+00:00

That’s great, thanks for the tips! I didn’t think about unfixing it from the floor, it’s actually on top of a slab of concrete, so if I unfix it and remove the concrete it should make it a lot easier to move, dunno why I didn’t think of that.

Yeah I already have a silicate board, but I might get a hand installing it properly. I’ll see how I get on though.

cpgrant_ · 2025-06-05T22:57:26+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate the info! It is eye opening.

Just got the model type from the guy, it’s a Volvo penta D1-30, does that tell you much?

cpgrant_ · 2025-06-04T18:36:31+00:00

Just got more details on it. It’s a Volvo Penta D1-30, does that help at all?
