been doing sme work on the rear cap...







heres a shot of the cap/transom connection. ran a piece of 3/4 ply about 3 feet up the under side of the gunnel, all glued and glassed underneath and screwed/glued the rear cap to that and then glassed it all together. this really straightened and aligned the original gunnels with the rest of what i put back there.



looks pretty straight to me...






also vacuum bagged a biax/coremat/foam-core/biax deck to go up front, and am working on the anchor locker bulkhead for that area

Very nice...that Nida is good stuff huh?

Like the anchor locker bulkhead...will follow your lead.

Especially like the cap gunnel-rail extension at the rear....nice thoughtful touch.

ya the nidafoam im using has its ups and downs. the material itself is real tough and doesnt really sand worth a crap, and the sheets have seams were they were welded together about every 2", but once you get some glass on it its real stiff. probably about as stiff as their honeycomb panels.  i figured the bulkhead and deck extension was the best use of space i had, still gonna have about 7 feet from the bulkhead to the console, same with the rear cap and the back of the console. i dont really like permanent fixtures on the floor ya know, i like "modular" deck alyouts... youre having a boat being rebuilt right now right?

Good to see your back at it! She is looking good
Been too busy here fishing to work on my FB for over a month now. Have been buying all the goodies though so when I do have time I have lots of hardware, paint etc.
Keep it up

Yep, sure am dirtwheels...the tank should be going in any day now. The cap is off and is being filled and faired.

Did you raise your floor? Guess could go back and search, but that was probably a good while back....thanks.

deck glassed in.. 3 layers of 1708 on top, 2 tabbing into the bulkhead. underside will get done when the boat is upside down.





you can kinda see the camber in the bulkhead here. matching foam toerail will go on top of that.

this pic is for gran, showing how the garboard drain is set up. no screws in the wood!



nex time you see it shell be upside down....
