second layer of the transom and knee bracing is in and tabbed.[ATTACH=CONFIG]531362[/ATTACH] Now working on the new cockpit floor got it patterned and glassing the bottom so we can install tomorrow.

Rick G

Great work Dan . I am impreesed that the area where the Tabs bolt throught wasn't wet . Are you doing the repair in Epoxy , vinylester or polyester . Given the age of the boat may have been laid up with polyester . Just curious .
Cheers Rick G.

Team Archer

This boat is getting done in vinylester resin. We were also surprised how nice the transom was the only reason we had to replace it was because they had cut it out to hang their custom surface drives. We are going back to the Kiekhaefer drive, early VI drive

Rick G

Wow thats great , given its age one would expect there would been more water damage . Obviously a well built boat to start with.

Finished all 4 layers of 1708 on the inside of the transom should be strong enough for the kiekhaefer drives [ATTACH=CONFIG]531793[/ATTACH] Cockpit floor finished next is the foot rest [ATTACH=CONFIG]531794[/ATTACH]
