The leaning post/livewell is impressive. Well done.

I really wasn't loving the fiberglass lid so I picked up a sheet of 1/2" acrylic and made a new one last night. I'm much happier with this one.





Had some Gemlux friction hinges and a latch left over from my build that worked great.

Better choice. How will the inside of the tank be finished?

It will probably get a little fairing and then a roll of light blue gelcoat. I'm not going for a perfect finish inside. It would have been easier to do before I put it together but I ran low on fairing compound and didn't bother buying another small tub now since we will end up getting more later to finish everything else

Yeah I looked at that small opening and saw major chiropractic work coming my way ;-)

Diggin the acrylic Mike it definitely looks better than the solid lid. I will post a few pics later of where i started on mine. Decided to just use 1/2 ply since i had it and at least get a mock up done so i can seen how it will look. Been workin late and yesterday was the first day I've had time for anything.

Just curious how are you going to run your plumbing for it? Raw water or just an aerator?

Yes, I'm much happier with the acrylic as well. 

We're going raw water with the plumbing. Once we get the floor panels glassed up and dry fit we will be able to place it and mark everything up for the pipes. I left a half inch or so under the bottom of the well so I can recess the drain once we figure out where it'll go.

Transom is ready for glass. Got the coosa, five sheets of nidacore, a roll of 1708 and some mat the other day. Should be ready to start putting her back together soon.

The transom is in! We actually started it a few weeks ago but just got around to adding the last few layers of glass this morning. We started by adding a layer of 1 1/2 oz mat to the hull to fill in some imperfections and give us a good bonding surface for the new glass. Then six layers of 1708 were added to the notched area that was raised by the previous owner to bring it level with the rest. That was followed by three layers of 1708 over the whole transom with 4, 8 and 12 inch overlaps on the sides and bottom. The coosa was bolted in next with a bunch of bonding putty before the first layers fully dried to try and get the best bond. We used two 3/4 inch pieces laminated together with a layer of ounce and a half between them. Then today we filled the edges with some structural filler and added the inside three layers again with 4, 8 and 12 inch overlaps.



A few blocks and some wood screws gave an impressive bond.





Edges sealed and bolt holes filled.



Final layers.



I've got some inch and a half coosa leftover from my build that we are going to use for some knees and then we'll get the stringers back together.

That transom looks very stout.  The first pic had me thinking that the inner core was still there - optical allusion ;-)

Haha, after as much time as Nate spent grinding there better not be any wood left!

When the transom was raised from 20 to 25 inches it appears to have been mainly cosmetic. The glass was pretty thin there but there was a big lip leftover where the factory transom ended.

Looks good, What about running knees forward enough to tab a crossmember across them to both stringers and lay deck on it or running knees to essentially a bulkhead and lay deck on. I’m considering this or should the deck be independent of the transom ?

Not completely sure how the back is going to get finished yet. We were thinking about maybe just enclosing the space between the knees to hide the rigging and leaving the rest open. A top deck all the way across could be cool to use for transom seating and such but then we would lose a little standing room. Since it's only a 20' boat he wants to maximize the space inside.

The transom is finally done. ✔ Last week Nate got the top of the transom rounded over with the router and added a strip of 1708 to seal it up and a sacrificial layer of mat for fairing. I went over this morning and helped get the stringers glued down and tabbed back in.



Between the factory glass, the blue structural putty, the gray coosa, the white bonding putty, the new glass and a little bit of red MEK-P that we used on the last layer of tabbing, it looks like a hot mess but man it feels solid.

Looking good - looks like the design has changed i.e., no knees?
