    what is that carbon looking cover on your splashwell? How does it stick on? I like the idea of doing that, the top of the splashwell will get a lot of traffic when climbing in and out of the boat while out swimming. Also what brand is your hydraulic steering system? I was gonna go with just dual cable but am starting to lean towards hydraulic.

    I’m literally 8sqft short on core material from finishing the core up under the deck, oh well I ordered it and it’s in route. I’m calling it a victory for today. Time for some food, beers and fireworks!Click image for larger version.

    The rest of my core showed up today so I was able to finish it, got some 1708 laid over some of it also. Now I’m almost out of resin. Got about a half gallon left and a gallon of hardener. Ordered 3 more gallons of resin and 1.5 gallons of hardener, we’ll see how far that gets me. Hope to be onto stringers and knees by the weekend.Click image for larger version.

    The core is in a complete sandwich now, happy to be done with that! Also put another layer of 1708 on the transom (2 layers now) I have my knees fitted but not glassed in yet. I’m also going to be using my knees as a seat base, you can see the mock-up in the pic. Next will be cutting and fitting the stringers, ran this morning and picked up a few sheets of 1/2” marine ply for stringers and floor.Click image for larger version.

    Calling it a day! Got the knees and a good part of the stringers in today, still have to put fingers off the main stringers and then glass everything in. Also fitted the floor for down the road install.Click image for larger version.

    Thanks. To me it seems like it’s going kinda slow but I have nothing to gauge it against, I’ve never restored a boat. I’m a carpenter and in my world things go fast. My goal for now is to get this thing painted before winter hits. My overall goal is to have it on the water next summer. We’ll see what happens...

    I'm almost two years deep in my build. You are progressing much faster than I did! In the water next summer should be no issue from what I'm seeing.

    Well here’s where I’m at, didn’t get a whole lot done this past weekend. Got the stringers and knees partially glassed in. Probably won’t get a whole lot more done over the next 2 weeks, gonna be real busy at work this week, then next week my 2 boys and I are off to the mighty Mississippi for a week long fishing/camping trip.Click image for larger version.

    Well I’m finally getting back to working on the boat. Not really any further along than my last pic above but did some sanding this morning to continue glassing in my stringers and knees. I’m using 1708 for this and I’m wondering how many layers of the 1708 is sufficient to glass them in? This is gonna take some serious time with the little support fingers I have coming off the main stringers. Depending on the #of layers of 1708 I need to add I will have lots of sanding ahead of me before I could add the next layer. I’ve read on other forums guys use 3 to 4 layers but the boats are over 24’ long and used on rough seas at all times. All I know is the glass on the original exposed stringers was very very thin. So how many layers should I run with?

    Don’t quote me on this as I have yet to do it but I asked this too and was told you could lay multiple layers up at once to save on sanding. Theres also peel ply which does not require sanding iirc between layers.

    also if you wouldn’t mind would you post up a pic of the bottom of your hull I’d like to compare it to a vandal I just bought.

    keep after it your doing great

    I tried multiple layers at once , guess u need be kinda quick at glassing, even when I mixed my resin for working time , I still could only get 1 layer at a time , especially around the stringers from what I can tell , practice, practice, practice, until then its sanding and prep for next layer. I did 3 sizes of tabbing and 3 layers 1708 over everything. Overkill always better than to thin etc
