got the stringers mocked up and layed out today, they need to be laminated(hopefully tomorrow) and then obviously glassed in. almost starting to look like a boat again
The pieces of wood were just being used as a jig, i will be adding nice bulkheads in along the way





also took a ride out today and dropped off my gearcase, it will be coming back with some new goodies attached

Draining lol Thats one way of putting it,I'm going to be in my transom and floor for about 1500.00 by the time im done with it!!!Makes me wonder if the boats worth all this money,I'm sure I could have bought a turn key 100 mph plus boat for all the cash thats wrapped up into mine

what are you making your transom out of gold nuggets?? lol i assume a composite due to the price?

[Wingnut0302]

5 gallons of epoxy resin,2 sheets of 3/4 marine grade plywood for the transom,2 sheets of 1/2 ply for the floor,3 gallons poly resin etc etc lol I think gold nuggets would have been cheaper

i used the same for the transom and will be using the same for my floor, i ended up using all polyester though due to the price of epoxy
