Getting real close to tying it all together.    
How's it look after you pull the sides back to where they originally were?  Looks close without pulling them in.
Now's the time to check the list twice before the resin hits the glass - ain't no turning back without huge repercussions after that.
It'll be a great feeling after that though.

Looking good Aaron.  A couple of questions for you...

What are you going to use to bond the deck to the stringers?

What are you planning to do for access to your under-deck rod storage?

I see you cut off quite a bit of your gunnels.  I'm curious about what/how you are going to finish that area.  Please take lots of pics!

I mixed up some putty from fumed silica and chopped glass, pre mixed about a gallon.

the rod storage im gonna have 2 deck hatches made from boat outfitters. . im also gonna have one made for the front of the console

haven't decided how I want to finish the cap yet ill worry about it when i get closer

ill worry about it when i get closer

I use that as a motto sometimes.

Aaron, she's looking pretty!

Hard to tell from the pics, but are there ledgers now under the deck over on the sides? If so, that would be a plus to build/fill to.

Rick has a good thought on the gap....when the cap gets on, that could change things.

ran a total of 9 circuits below deck, 6 aft, 3 forward. also installed the livewell pickup, single 1-1/2 inch


and the deck is now puttied to the stringers, and then i trimmed the casting deck i got from Eugene and test fit it, still needs to be trimmed so i can move if forward a little more...


does the casting deck look familiar? it came out of shortpant's boat when that one shop who's name shouldnt be mentioned screwed his boat up then our good friend Eugene fixed it right there was a large hatch that i cut away to shorten the casting deck



was bored last night and did a rough sketch of how the transom area will look... a hatch on each side of the livewell, starboard side will house the oil injection tank, and fuel/water separator. port will be storage. will also put a small pie plate right above the thru-hull pickup valve and bilge drain plug. in each corner, there will be 2, 2 inch scuppers like these http://www.marineeast.com/me-images/s_img_std/927.jpg they will sit in a 3 inch wide 1 inch deep trough for water to drain completely off

Those stripes on the casting deck are a dead giveaway
Glad you got it!

Inch and a half on the pickup....that's neat! What is the plan on the plumbing?

yup, saves me a crapload of time and energy, and the nicely finished hatch just looks good! 8)

for the plumbing, there will be a ball valve on the thru-hull, a strainer, then 3 livewell pumps, most of the strainers ive looked at for 1-1/2 inch flow up to 2400gph which will work perfect with 3 800gph pumps there will also be a raw water washdown plumbed in somewhere along the line...

Sweet!

Looking forward to seeing it rigged
