When Your Boat Beats You | Fiberglass Boat Restoration | How to Build Cabin Steps – Pt1 (Ep34)



Some days you beat The Boat and some days The Boat beats you! This episode I have an accident and hurt myself when I fall into the forward cabin of my pilothouse trawler. As a result, I finally start working on building trawler cabin steps. I construct a bulkhead out of Coosa Board, and I try and chop a big hole in my boat. I shed no tears.

Welcome to my boat building channel! This is my trawler restoration of an Albin 27 pocket trawler. Every couple of weeks I post a boat building or boat repair video to document various boat projects, sailboat restorations, or boat repairs.

  1. On my 34 Hatteras, I was stepping on a 1 gal can of polyester fairing compound to get up on the gunnel. The other day while stepping down on it, the friggin can collapsed, and my big ass fell down, thankfully I didn't fall into the bilge, but landed splayed out in the cockpit. Took a pretty good beating that day

  3. Hi mate, I'm thinking about buying a dawncraft dandy 19ft boat (looks like something only a mother could love) it needs new windows and frames which is a real pain and would really like to completely board over the window apertures and put something universally available like some side port holes. Could I use foam board?
