I didn't see pics of engine mounts done yet, but there's pics here of what I did in my last boat using aluminum angle. Will probably be doing this one as well.

Also I like how your doing the bulkhead. Much better than the laminate they used..

Your motor mounts look good I will probably do something similar.

Are you spaying the dykem guide coat after you thin with acetone or wiping it on? Nice thread.

it looks awesome, your doing some great work !
if you find a way to shoot gel so that wet sanding is minimal to non existent, please tell me
what type of gun, tip size and psi are you shooting at ?
what product are you using so the gel dries ?
2 coats ? activated gel, then activated gel w/ whatever product for the air dry
there is touch up on my boat that hasn't happened yet only because wet sanding is outside of my ability
i can go from 800 to 2000 changing directions each grit w/ clean water every time, buff it and still see sanding marks
when the sun goes across it.
