Got some real good progress done this weekend on her. I've spent the last couple weeks getting things water proofed and ready to go. I started yesterday glueing in my bulkhead and cabin stringers and it looks real nice having solid wood back in this boat! I got the transom glue and fileted yesterday with a couple buddies and came in this morning and tabbed it in as well as putting down two layers of 1708 for the strength. I just fabbed the engine stringers and bonded them a few minutes ago. I'm thinking next weekend I will be done with all the engine compartment glass work! Its coming together alot fast than I thought!

I hear you're the guy to go to for glass knowledge. I hope I'm doing this right! The only thing I'm not happy with is the fileting work that was done over the PL adhesive made the adhesive wrinkle. I will be bonding in my engine stringers with thickened resin next weekend for sure. If I were to do it again I would only use thickened resin. Next time haha

WoW, nice work. Looks Great! I am surprised you will still talk to me...... Definitely did not think it needed that much work. I would like to say I am shocked, but it is a boat. I know the previous owner would be floored at the amount of work it needed. Pardon the pun.....
