    Made some more progress, i'm going to have to start finding more time and get 4 hours a day in on it work wise but here are some updates. The transom i have capped now with coosa it is approx. 3" taller than original and about a little ofer 3 5/8" thick so far. I have 6 layers on the inside and now 6 on the outside with the last two going up and over the cap, i will do two more layers on the transom outside up and over and two going out the sides further overlapping. This should be sufficient shouldn't it? Got all the stringers cut and am now glassing the very front ones in which i left for last as i hate getting under the bow...lol Will def. have a lot of sanding blending the sides of this transom cap down i will do the final coats of corebond tonight than start shaping the sides for what i was thinking two layers of 1708 to attach to the hull. between pulling out the bottom of the transom and raising it the amount of time i have consumed sanding corebond is unreal i feel like i could be done if i had of just left it factory.

    For the inside underneath of the transom cap how many layers should i do and can i get away with CSM? fumes are going to kill me for sure.

    For underneath the rear deck it would be ok to use a single layer of 1708. Several layers of matt won't give the strength of 1 lay of 1708.
    I hope I understood the question of the trans cover question properly.
    The trans should be bulletproof.

    Thank you that is exactly what i meant. I ended up a little disappointed in the gel coat application i did as i took the time and went over all the 1708 on the core with CSM and sanded smooth yet the gel coat came out a bit lumpy looking i assumed it would lay down flat, good thing it is under the floor and def. a learning experience... i will sand down smooth though before putting the floor on

    Spend the money on a canister style respirator. That will cut down on the fumes a ton! A tip for extending the life of the canisters, put them in a zip loc bag when not in use. The whole half face style fits in a gallon freezer bag pretty easy.

    I second this, it was a really good investment.
