[Aswaff400]

one roll of 1708, two rolls of 24oz stitch mat

[RickK]

What widths? 18"?
What ya gonna use the mat for?

[Aswaff400]

12 inch rolls, the stitch-mat is for inside the stringers... i may just use 1708 0r 1808 for the stringers, i dont know yet, focused on getting the transom done.

[RickK]

So you are going to re-use the stringer skins and beef them up?  Mine are laying on the curb for the trash guy and I've not decided on building like stringers or going with 3lb foam boards.

[Aswaff400]

im just gonna beef them up and refoam...

[Aswaff400]

transom is done, got everything glassed, just need to grind a few spots down. also went to dons salvage to get the other livewell mold and picked up a couple hatch lids that would work perfect as swim platforms... will post a couple pics shortly...

What happened to the photos Aaron?  You didn't sniff too much resin and forget did you?

<!-- s:shock: --><!-- s:shock: -->  no, just getting ready for the drive out to texas saturday... <!-- s:lol: --><!-- s:lol: -->

anyways, heres some pics... she may not look nice and pretty but this sumbich is rock solid! hammered most of the transom with a rubber mallet to find voids, she's solid!









picked up these 2 fiberglass hatch lids for 10 bucks each that will work perfect as swim platforms.

Looking great Aaron!  How are you going to fill the cutout area where the old transom glass is so it is all flush?

[seabob4]

Hell Aaron, Don's should have given them to ya...

cant tell from the pics but she is flush right now, before we started adding glass to the inside of the skin, i ground the edge all the way across witha a decent beveled edge, screwed a piece of plywood to the outside of the transom with a piece of formica in between, and filled in till it was flush with the rest of the skin. then started adding glass to the skin...

Looks great Aaron.  Today I start the same process.  Have this front coming through tonight so that'll slow me down a bit.
How short did you leave the core along the sides?

[Aswaff400]

before I layed any glass i made my core pretty much exact fit then shaved about 1/4 inch off the sides. I made the core about an inch too tall which I didn't mind as I wad unsure exactly  how tall it needed to be. I also let the clamps sit on it overnight.

Looks good Are you planning to beef the sides of the stringers up then pour your foam then cap them? And are you capping them with the 1708 also..transom looks solid, like the clamps what are you using as filets to fill the gaps around your new transom? I know , lot of ?

i used putty made from chapped glass and resin to fill the voids.
i plan to ad glass to the inside ant outside of the stringers cap them, punch some holes in them then pour foam down in them and seal them off when done.
