awesome job on the whole project...you will have an excellent resto..keep photos coming....

Console
 

Thanks Fas,, definitely a learning curve ...and just when you think all is good. I have a bad laminate on the bottom of console.. Apparently my bonding of the foam to the pan bottom. Did not take. So I measured 1" from perimeter and cut the bottom skin. Then pulled the skin off the foam. The foam is to saturated with non-cured resin that it needs to be replaced. So that is we're I am at... I guess I did not compensate for the drop in temp, When the last front came through .. Now I need to fix it...and we'll my 23 fell from the cradle in the boat house.. Yea I know right., the cables broke and down the bow went .. Then 5 seconds later which seemed longer the stern drops..thank God my kids were not near... I was just under the boat yesterday check out the bottom of bracket...No more cables.. I am now using dyneema braid.. Got the boat back up after spending all day raising her...please use lots of caution...

resin issue
 

Had to cut off bottom skin and recore..

removing core
 

Nothing fancy just really hard work especially when it is a redo over...

My Dad use to say; "If you can't do it twice, it's just not worth doing"

I hear ya... That goes for the boat lift to ... I will be redoing that one soon....well I got all the core out . thank god I over lapped the glass. In other words, I isolated the bottom and side core from the top core... So all I need to do is wash with acetone or denatured alcohol and let it bake in the sun... Then recore... This time I am going to encapsulate the vertical core. Then the bottom core... Trying to save a step before cost me a lot of disgraceful agony...

back on track
 

Sorry for not posting more pics.. I have been away for a qhile ..but I got after it today and finished recoring the sides and bottom of console.. Now to prime it and finish filling voids and more primer..
