"got 'er done"  :dancing:
Glued the bottom of the original storage compartment to the sole with thickened epoxy I troweled on.  Added some weight and let it sit for a few hours.


I then mixed up some thickened resin, layed a fillet all the way around, let it kick a bit and then lam'd 2 x 1208 everywhere








Everything lam'd back together finally - just a little different configuration from 2 years ago :coolth:


 :weehee:

A little bit of prep grinding and then it's time to flip this baby and spend a little time on the bottom, sides and transom.
Another check on the list  8)

Did the last big grind of the inside  :cheers:
And then did a little added CSM where needed


Drilled and installed the lifting eyes and also added a bunch of csm to build up the transom and tie it into the liner I made.  Have a few more layers to go.




It has been in the 70s here and I'm already seeing wasps so I am closing off any openings for the time she is upside down


I covered the rectangular hole in the liner after the pic.

Looks great Rick!
No wasps here yet, but they are calling for temps in the low 50's on Sunday!
I can't wait. We got 1.5 inches of wet snow yesterday... and then it froze over night.
It is almost gone now, but it makes working on the boat a drag. I hope to do quite a bit this weekend.
Impressive build you are doing!
If I could find a job I would move to Florida...  ;-)

Plenty of boatbuilders here in Florida, Lars!  You would fit right in!

Looking good Rick.  Did you find someone to flip the boat yet?

Hi Lars, I see a few wasps flying around here already  :roll:  It's in the 80s here this week.

Craig, I'm going to try it myself this weekend, fingers and cables crossed  ::p:

It's finally warming up here. They are calling for mid 50's here this weekend! :06:
It's boat building time!
The snow is gone. I can't say I miss it...

I don't think you are the type of redhead CB was talking about, Rick.
