Thanks guys, being that this is my first rebuild I guess I just need a "yup, good plan" or " NO, DON'T DO THAT!" every once in a while to either confirm or dispell my ideas. I have done hundreds, if not thousands of research hours on here since 2007ish but every rebuild is different even if your doing the same project the same way, ie. transom from outside. Thanks again.

Aren't you done yet? :D

I wish wildman...so here's where I'm at. I know the deepness is what matters for the grinding so there is no bump after the glass is applied but how does my width look? What is a good layup schedule to glass the seems. I'm not using 1708 but have mat and woven at my disposal. I was thinking three layers consisting of mat, woven, mat. I'll probably grind the seem deeper to ensure a good finish. Thoughts??

Nice work . . . you might want to go a little deeper with the bevel on the outer skin before you glass the seam. The sand flat with a long board.

If you don't have one of these . . .

Come on over and borrow it.

Do you mean sand the bevel flat?? Or do you mean after I glass? I think that's what you mean...

Sorry Elijah, totally unrelated question, but how have you been able to get away with creating that much fiberglass dust in your garage?

I get busted at the front door when I get home just looking "dusty".
Have to strip right there in the front yard. Not particularly good for my neighbors property values, but it does explain all the recent Yeti sightings in Orleans.

She'll get over it. I tell her all the time I've been in a relationship with a Seacraft longer than I've even know her.
