1974' Aquasport 240 CC Rebuild

Nice progress. Holes in new transom. Always weird drilling new holes in what you just fixed.

Yeah, the thought of making an error

I know the feeling of almost drilling in the wrong place - would have been right into the edge of the new sole. Had to drop the holes a couple inches and buy a used jack plate to get the engine to the right height.

Now that the structural work is getting close to being done, I need to work on the look good parts! The casting deck is pulled out and moved to another carport "The small Parts Department...LOL". It needs recoring and the storage/fish boxes re-glassed to underside. Storage boxes will receive new ice blue gelcoat finish before getting glassed back.
 


The Smaller details...outboard stringer drain tube test fit. Got it glassed last night..picture to follow (battery died) later on.

Drain tubes glassed in. Few more layers of tabbing at transom.  One (1) layer of 1708 about 50'' up from the stern on the hull sides to add back what I grinded off to get the gelcoat removed (see post 8). I did run out of resin to get started on the hull side coring so I need to pick some up.

Prepped the surface on the hull sides for the coring to be bonded to. Need to make a resin run to Daytona!! Weather has been nasty but cool weather is on the way!!
