You are getting a terrific job. Very clean...is it OK to offer constructive criticism?...Would beef up the tabs, throw another layer of glass on the tabs, where it matters, for tie-in, for strength....particularly at the transom.

Please realize, you young boys are dealing with us old dummies here. We're old, we're dumb.

Fitz and I we're discussing last night the rebuilds here. His big question, where are the drains to the transom, with reference to the box construction.

Think of us as your dumb old Dads...hope that's OK.

I can recall that my Dad used to be dumb....but somehow, became smarter.

gran, which tabs are you meaning exactly? the wet ones going from the stringer tothe transom are just tieing in the knee glass to the stringer with 2 layers of 1708, under that the stringers are tabbed to the transom with 3 layers. the knees are more there for forming a box to hide rigging than anything. imagine that box in the middle, then im going to put a matching walkaround cap on it to tie it all in. although it will add strength too. every bulkhead has a pvc sleeved limber hole in it which will all drain to the stern, and into the bilge through the limbers where the stringer and transom meet (they are covered with wet glass in the picture) i dont plan on getting much water up under the floor so i will keep plugs in the holes going into the bilge, but youve gotta be able to drain itsomehow. thats funny i learned all this from my dad haha.

skoot, those are pads for pumps, thru hulls, or whatever...
