HoneyB Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Well it’s still to cold to prime and paint the hull so I managed to get the cap in the barn. I picked up some furniture dolly’s at the Harbor Freight to set it up on. I got her all shimmed up and used some wood blocks behind the rub rail area to get some screws in to hold it for glassing. As I’m sure everyone that starts a project wishes it would go faster I just keep plunking away. The cap does look awfully sexy though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MA18Colorado Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Here is a link to pics of my 1992 MA18 at the Skiff Shop getting the love in 2019. Only thing left to do is the fuel cell, so it was good to hear that yours was still in pretty good shape. Other things to do...maybe a Simrad 9 or 12 with FMT...and upgrade to spot lock Minnkota....and maybe a jack plate...and and and.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a Simrad NSS9 Evo3 for sale in the classified section if you are interested. Your boat looks great by the way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick is getting the specs. In researching this idea, I came across old school methods, and new school methods, both of which are really fascinating, and so given how deep you tend to go (I have been following your work on your MA), I thought I would pass along what I have found. Another option might be getting your hull 3D scanned, and then scaling it down to model size, and then having a guy with a CNC router run that file on your favorite wood. If you go that route, I will buy one too! Or, better yet, if you need an investor because you want to go into the boat building business by bringing back the Master Angler hull, let me know. The following video blew my mind. Read the guy's description of the video as well. He is using the 3D scan to create molds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted March 9 Author Report Share Posted March 9 Well I see after working the entire month of February on night shift for a maintenance outage at work I better get busy so I can post more 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted April 20 Author Report Share Posted April 20 Ok I washed the hull from the sanding dust. I’m going to cover it in the barn now until I can spray the primer. Also laid some glass inside the console to tie in the modified section. Still have a lot of work to do, but every little bit I get done pushes the pebble to the finish line. Don’t look at the lines on the console too hard. I know I have some more layup to do to get it right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidewater Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 What a fantastic transition. I wish I had had the ability and the where with all to do something like this to "Sveiks". Even in pieces it looks great and full of promise. I can't wait to see the finished project. I have to wonder what "Tarpon Terry" would say if he could see this now? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyB Posted Tuesday at 04:53 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 04:53 PM The console is taking some time for sure. I can’t really measure my time as I work on it some, lay some glass and then work on it some more. I’m sure a professional could do it much quicker. I tried to buy a console that others have used but the guy went up on the price 3 times what the first guys paid. And my wife loves sneaking pictures of me when I’m thinking *** over.

geeviam Posted Wednesday at 01:37 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 01:37 AM Lookin' good HB! Wish I had your skills, to do the same with an old hull I've been storing. Not REstoring, just storing... 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted Wednesday at 01:55 AM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 01:55 AM Thank you! Trust me I have seen some guys on here that have mad skills. I am not sure I have there skills. I am kind of excited about the console update. I think it’s going to add a little bling to the old girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted Wednesday at 12:51 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:51 PM HoneyB - are you really gonna keep her two-tone? Man, you made my day (and it's not even my boat). That is such a classic look for the MA - Two-tone hull and rope rub rail. She's gonna be beautiful (again). Great work, man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
