I am using 1708 with mat sewn in. I was just using the extra layer of mat between to help with the bond. It really smoooths over all small imperfections.
Thanks

One of the tips Eugene Sun gave me was to always use a layer of mat between new 1708 and old/cured fiberglass, as it does improve the bond strength as north said.  I'm not sure it's necessary between successive layers of 1708, especially if they are added wet-on-wet, but they can't hurt.  Looking good, north!

The top edge of the skin cut.



Blue water bonded to skin







transom crown. I'm happy with the curve.

Nice job  :nSalute:
What does the Bluewater weigh?  Looks beefy.

The skin cut looks super clean, how did you cut the radius.

It is probably less than two sheets of 3/4" plywood. It is some cool stuff. Cuts nice and easy and seems super strong.

The radius cut can easily be done with a circular saw. Mark a sharp line and take your time. That how I cut the 1 1/2" thick transom as well. It is not a tight radius.
I will let you know the ht of the crown tonight.

Took all the bolts and bracing off last night. The transom feels so solid with the Coosa even without knees. That stuff is really cool.

Looks good.
Going forward, if you can work it out where you spread the fillets, let them start to cure enough that you won't push them out of place but they're still "green", then lay your tabs wet on wet over them, it'll save you the sanding in between.  I learned that the hard way too.

I started to do that. I spent to much time working the fillets and they were kicking off. I had to many rough spots to lay over at that point. I thought better to take my time and sand then tab. Whats a couple of hours sanding at this point.
