Where are you referring to? If you are using epoxy, it doesn't harden very fast and can run down and puddle at the bottom of the transom. I hope you plan to install a pvc pipe at the aft and through the drain hole. You will be affecting the lowest point in the boat. Now is the time to do it.

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

RickK, is it pretty normal for there to be lots of resin? Looks like it was just poured in

Almost forgot. Those are cicadas in the picture. A 13 and 17 year hatch is transpiring here in Tennessee as I type. Thank the good Lord they don't bite. There are thousands of them.  Feel like I am in the exorcist II or something.  Get in your hair in your face in you clothes, the whole time making some high pitched lunacizing noise.

Finally.  Grinded all the old stringer support glass out of stern. There was a piece of wood glassed along either side of keel that is no longer there. Seems like it should be there which is why I plan on glassing some Coosa down. Also appears the keel is not glassed down the center. It's off about halfway towards the bow by about an inch off to starboard. Odd.  Whoever did last job was less of a professional than me which is to say very unprofessional. Pick up my first run of supplies on Monday. Wish me luck. Will be add8ng glass to transom skin, adding Coosa along keel and  generally adding strengthening  hull where I can before I lay up transom.

I am having a moment. The kind where you grind your thumb and fall out the back of the boat only to step on a rake. I will get the new pis up. Bear/bare(?) With me

Hey guys, after much deliberation, I've decided to rehome my beloved 170. Full restoration in 2019/2020, documented here:
https://classicaquasport.com/smf/index.php?topic=15320.0

Details of sale on craigslist here, with additional photos:
https://maine.craigslist.org/boa/d/brunswick-aquasport-170-center-console/7748163661.html

I hate to sell her, but I just found a 1977 Sisu 22 that needs a lot of love, and will take us farther offshore than this one will! PM with questions, or email through craigslist.

MIGHT - MAYBE - POSSIBLY - consider selling the bow dodger and frame separately. If you ask nicely.

Cheers, and happy summer to all!
