I didn't plan on having a trolling motor, so just two batteries.

So I have all my bulkheads cut and ready, glassed the bottom of my fuel tank cradle, and picked up my new tank today. All parts are ready for assembly. But, I am going to wait till I glass my stringer caps in, then I will use the bulkhead angles to lock in the stringer extensions. Pic of the finished floor of my cradle, i have a small amount of overhang to grind off, but I'm happy with it, absolutely no air bubbles.

No air bubbles is a good thing. You are now officially ahead of me.

Thanks Rick. Wish I had the temps in our favor a little longer.
Que . I feel I'm ahead of where I would be but wish I could keep going.
I have to replace my fuel tank in my Mako so that's going to be my winter project.
No small task. T-top and console have to be removed along with all cables and electronics.
Then I hope I don't have any water or fuel issues with my foam.

Good luck with your Mako, I think Tues, Wed I may sneak in glassing my tank cradle in. Then I'll call it quits for the season. Looking at these parts, all ready to be put in is killing me.

I know the feeling - I have a bunch of things I can spray with gelcoat but it was always too windy the last few weekends - today its raining  :roll:  I am on vacation this week so I'm bound to get at least one good day to spray everything.

You Fla boys are spoiled, I wish I had all year to work on it. Oh but wait I won't be here anyway, I'll be in Costa Rica. Lol.

My main problem is I work outdoors under a tarp so I'm exposed to the elements i.e. wind and cold and yes we do get cold here - I remember standing at the school bus stop as a kid and seeing 19 degrees F on bank sign across the street.  So we do get cold but the beauty of southern FL is that we are back up to the 50s by 10 AM. Bad part is that you can't work with resin in the cold - epoxy takes a super long time to set. If you're using poly it helps a little in the set time, which you need.

Are you moving to Costa Rica?

It's funny, my wife and I were talking about visiting there, just before you posted.
