...Both pieces are bonded in with that pink bedding compound also, if that's what you are also asking. the bedding compound, as it comes out of the five gallon bucket is white, but Gio used red M.E.K., so it ends up being pinkish after mixing. Generally speaking red catalyst is used for resin you use in glass lamination, clear catalyst is used when used in gelcoats, so it doesn't affect the color.

It was measured for a 25", I remeasured after the bracket was out of the way, it does need to come up a little. From the top of the bracket to the bottom of the hull its 25+ inches. And with the adjustment on the motor it should sit good.

As far as the extra resin, we rib roll it out really good, squeegee when we can, use putty to help hold air bubbles at bay and put 1.5 oz mat over most things to absorb any excess and blend it all together. By the time you put the mat down and roll over it once, it's pretty much wet out. It also makes grinding and cleaning it all up easier.

...As a "general" rule on a new hull outboard rig job, I have always used this input, with proven success. Water rises 1'' off the trailing edge of the boat at 60 m.p.h., for every foot of setback. This has always worked on every one of the "hundreds" of single, twin, triple, and quad outboard boats that I have overseen rigging on. Admittedly, I have never rigged a V-6 outboard boat that went as slow as 60 m.p.h., but this gives you a proven starting point for installing a bracketed boat, or an engine bolted directly to the transom. Hope this helps.

That's exactly what I heard. I'll measure it again with more specifics. The bracket is 18" plus the 6" or so below the bracket. Then the approx 4" of adjustment on the motor bracket, I would have a jack plate for more adjustment. So I think itll fall into a good height.

Not much going on with the Craft lately due to other work. The tank is glassed in and I made a different console for it this one fits it a little better. I believe we're going to add a flat face to part of the console, prob in front of the steering wheel, so a larger screen can be mounted to it.
