I'm at about the same stage on mine. If you decide to go with coosa, give marine surplus a call. They had a few sheets left last time I was down there that were way cheaper than anywhere else. Some of them were a little scuffed up but nothing that you couldn't work with.

Last place I called yesterday, and sure glad I did so...Beat online prices by $200+ for 1-1/2 sheet."

Transom grinding progress...How far back do I have to grind? Glass mat seems pretty solid on the transom.


Had to grind back farther in some areas due to water intrusion/glass delamination. How fair does this surface need to be prior to laying up the new glass?


Dished out holes...


Now, just trying to find time to get to FGCI between work and collect materials.

It doesn't have to be real fair.

Oh, and save yourself some disappointment and read these links:

Here is a link to where I explain the thought of the PVC pipe

Here is a link to where I show what is actual problem

Here is a link to Hawgleg's rebuild that shows the PVC pipe installation to keep a drain at the new low point of the boat

Man that looks familiar! I did pretty much the same thing, ground out the mat that was delamed or wet and left anything that was stuck on well. I'm not too worried about how fair it is since I figured it's getting a good layer of thickened epoxy all over it before the core goes in which should level it out some. I did add a bit of csm to the bigger spots though just because I had it on hand.
