Narrow Boat: Progress
Sandblast and over plate base plate.
Old paint system failing and rust bubbles are visible.
After sandblasting the entire hull and base-plate, we measured between the internal floor beams and cut out the sections allow the removal of the ballast.
This was one section of ballast over a 72’ boat.
We could clean out the internal bilge and inspect the internal chine.
The original sections are welded back into place.
The new steel is cut to size and pre-drilled for attaching to the underside of the boat.
New plates are lifted and jacked into place before welding.
New chine edge:
Welding finished and first coat of Intertuf 362 epoxy.
Finished.
