Got the liner sides and casting deck out yesterday, and my stringers whooped today. They are 3" taller now, laid up with epoxy and hell for stout. Excellent end to the busiest week since I brought her home. I am leaning toward adding a layer of glass to sides of the hull next. I suppose I need to figure that one out before I go any further.

Looks like you've been planning this out all along ;)
Coming along nicely.  :great02:

Made some more headway. Used cardboard to make a couple templates for the tank area bulkheads. Got them cut out of coosa and glassed. Made some supports to hold the hull shape as bulkheads and deck preparation and installation are on the horizon. Also went and added a layer of 3/4 mat and 1708 around the hull sides from the transom to the bow. Installing the new laminated coosa bow eye mounting block this evening. It is pictured next to the original rotten wood one.

I looked back through the thread and didn't see where you mentioned the type of fuel tank you'll be installing. If poly, make sure you leave room for it to "grow" once gas is in it.

Looks great!  Nice and clean.  It looks like your moving the fuel tank forward?  Or is that just the photo?

It is a 55 gallon poly tank. I will leave some room there for it. I am going to loosely follow your tank coffin layout, Rick.  As for it’s location, I am putting it nearly exactly where the original motor mounts were removed. It’s a slightly forward of center location. It was an inboard before, and I am essentially trading the positions of the fuel and the power in the rebuild. At this point I don’t think I will be adding a livewell or anything else that will drastically affect the center of gravity.

Today was a beautiful day. I did my trailer swap. She came off of the rust-bucket she came home on, and went onto the new-to-me galvanized unit. Felt a lot better coming home from the boat ramp than getting there. Last night I temporarily installed my scuppers, complete with a homegrown two-piece rubber flap assembly. Not sure if they ever got deep enough to come into play, but they did their job if it did. It felt really good to see her floating, even if only for a moment. I still have some minor adjusting to do on the trailer bunks, rollers and bow stop, but all in all, a very good day.

Looks great on the water.  The Aquasport shear is classic.  Will you be reuseing the liner/cap?  Or are you building your own?

I am going to reuse the cap, but it will be modified quite a bit around the transom, and I am going to be installing an anchor caddie on the bow, with anchor rope and float storage in the bow. Other than that I am just recoring it and filling a pile of holes and some cracks.

Got after it pretty hard this weekend. Got all the remaining bulkheads cut out, glassed and tabbed into place. Really started getting excited seeing this step nailed down. Today I realized that I have to change the location of the fuel fill and vent relief in the stringer to make more clearance for the T-top hardware (and installation). It was a minor oversight, and it's a very good time to correct it. I think it is onto the fuel tank area, and rigging tubes next. Then I get to tackle the casting deck and boxes.

Bulkheads look rock solid.  Are you useing Coosa for the cockpit sole? Or something else?
