Lightweight Composite STRINGER/BULKHEADS & HONEYCOMB FLOOR Sleekcraft SST Sunday #15

Thank you for your support! Have you ever wondered how to build an extremely high performance boat hull on a budget? In this episode, I’ll show you how to glass in in the lightweight composite stringer we installed last episode, fully encapsulating it, bracing it with some Coosa bulkheads, and how to create a lightweight, rot-proof honeycomb floor that weighs less than half as much as plywood.

The success of my SST project was pretty unexpected; viewers like you helped pay for the fiberglass resin & supplies needed to finish this project! As a thank you, I'll be doing a new video every sunday; Sleekcraft Sundays!

I picked up a crazy rare ultra high performance twin tunnel hull ModVP Sleekcraft SST for $500! This was one of sleek's fastest hulls ever, and was famous for racing in the ModVP series in 70s/80s/90s before it was banned for being too dangerous! This thing is going to need EVERYTHING, but I'll show you how you can tackle all these major repairs without spending a lot of cash by doing almost everything yourself.
