That looks sweet man!

Looks good Aaron.  Was it hard to pop the glass off the formica?  Did you wax it first or ....  

[Aswaff400]

i waxed it but isnt really necessary. pull out super easy.

got the transom core cut and laminated together with layer of 1.5oz mat

[wingtime]

Looking good!

Did you cut down the flange of the livewell so it sets down inside of the lip you made in the cap?  Or is that lip for a lid to sit in?

The transom core looks SWEET.  What did you use?

the flange is recessed into the cap 3/4 inch so a lid will fit in flush, i cut the flang off the livewell so it was easier to glass and fit tighter to the cap... the livewell opening is 6-1/4 by 18-1/2, the hatch size is 8 by 20-1/4

the core is 2 sheets 3/4" Penske board i got from Eugene

cut the flange off the livewell, ground down spots for a perfect fit, glassed to the cap with 1708



Got scared when i read that quickly haha. Thought you glassed it to the boat! I was just thinking man thats gonna be hell to do the transom now with that thing on the boat. Gonna add any coring to it outside of the livewell? Id think itll need it to eliminate flex. Toerail extensions look familiar

not much to post this week, started glassing the transom, filled in top portion level with the rest of the transom, and ground out and filled in a couple larger cracks... didnt really do much. weather last mon/tues screwed me up, and i ran out of resin.

taking tomorrow off so ill have a 3 day weekend, my dad is helping me on the transom. my goal is to have the transom done by late monday afternoon or tuesaday morning...

There you go bud!!!  

[Aswaff400]

yup bob, turns out i have almost a full week(7 days) of paid PTO time that i didnt know about on top of 8 days of vacation time left, 5 or 6 of which are being used next week(trip to TX)

i talked to my manager yesterday, i may take every other sunday off for the next month or so, so my dad can help me on the boat, she said its the slow time of year so she dont have a problem with it.

COOL!

What up out in the seceding state?  Christmas deal?

[Aswaff400]

yup bob, driving out there to visit grandparents and such for Christmas...

about to start laying up the transom. got everything pre cut ready to go, basically copying Eugene's lam schedule for the transom. even made some giant clamps to clamp the core to the lams

EDIT:

got the transom glassed and the core clamped, will let it set overnight and add the remaining glass in the morning.

my transom lam schedule so far:
original skin
1-1/2oz mat
3 x 1708
2 x 1-1/2oz mat
3/4 penske board
1-1/2oz mat
3/4 penske board

will finish tomorrow with 3 layers of 1708
and everything is on a 4 to 6 inch overlap

Nice progress Aaron  So you built it all up at one time?
What did you use for the clamps - I have bought 1/2" all-thread and intended on making 4 of the same type of clamp with landscape timbers.
Did you get the outside board to keep the transom flat?

Forgot to ask, what goodies are in the bags
