You have a website, don't you? Why not just FTP the images to its own directory and then IMG tag them here?alaskastreamin wrote: ↑Sep 12, 2019 11:14 am My image hosting (free) site has closed down so this is my first attempt at uploading pictures directly . I hope they load in the right order......
Wondering how to post images or maybe change your avatar or maybe something else?

Cause I don’t know how to do that. Lol!!
I asked Caprice and she said I need to learn this. She put the site together. She is so busy, I’m going to get a lesson this winter.

Re: Glastron GT-150 - Hull mods to make it handle 150 HP
Saturday November 2nd.
Good weekend to put on the pad.
De-rigged the hull and flipped over, formed up lifting strake extensions and laid up with a foam core.
I added in some cobalt To the resin so I could shape the layup 15 minutes after cleaning the tools.
Should be able to get the pad laid up, shaped and in gel by the afternoon.

Re: Glastron GT-150 - Hull mods to make it handle 150 HP
Kevin, I am using 8# urethane foam.
Once the forms are hot glued down, I lay up a couple layers of CSM (chop strand mat) and cloth on the hull, up the inside of the forms and let drape over and outward. Then I bed in the foam and then fold the extra glass back over the foam. Then I put down a CSM , woven roving and a CSM. Grind flat and pop the forms. Leaves nice clean sides to the pad. I have the hull level and am now fine tuning the pad then gelcoat and re-assemble.

Re: Glastron GT-150 - Hull mods to make it handle 150 HP
After checking with a 5’ straight edge( I like using aluminum as it leaves black marks when you slide it slightly showing your high spots) I found a few slight waves in my layup.
I mixed up some glass bubbles and resin to form a thin putty. A couple applications got the pad true .
Mixing the gel coat was a pain. It is white with some black, yellow, and some red. Glad it’s the bottom cause I definitely don’t want to do a topside repair.
