Thermographic images showing the heat build up from the cabosil as it bonds the two parts together. These photos were taken about 1.5 hours after they were stuck together.

Alex has been sanding the boat for me. The entire boat is now sanded so soon I will begin repairing blemishes here and there.

Removing the thru hulls. They were not rotten but since I am re doing the deck drainage on this boat they needed to be removed.

Bill came over yesterday and he ground down the seams on the big bracket so we could glass it all together. This will get sanded down and then faired over to a smooth finish.

I would have put a Halographic Gucci "Made by Strick" signature stamp inside.
That way there would be NO Mistake in the future who caused the current owner to bust his ass getting that thing apart . Come'on Chuck (you know the Potter Putty drill) :o

A few pics so you guys know that I have not been screwing off instead of working on the boat. I have been doing lots of filling and fairing inside and outside the boat. There are 3 coats Awlgrip 545. The dark gray primer is great for bringing out any blemishes.

The light brown and clear smudge marks you see on the gray primer is system 3 quick fair

The livewell enclosure is looking better and better. It just needs one more sanding and a coat of 545 then it can be painted.

Filling in the old scupper drains. I chopped up a bunch of matt and mixed it with resin and then filled the holes near the top then sanded and faired with cabosil and two layers of 1.5 oz matt went on top of that. Need to sand and then quick fair now.

Engine bracket sits on Bigshrimpin's old engine stand that he left behind before he headed back east. It's the only thing I have to remember him by....brings back fond memories :)

Made a trip up to Oregon a couple weekends ago to pick up the motor for the boat. I'll unveil it when I'm done with all the spraying.

This is the first full weekend I've had to work on the boat in a while and I'm getting closer to getting the outer hull finished. I'm missing some good Fall striped bass fishing choosing to work on the boat instead.
