Martin,

You will be Strict II when you finish. I thought replacing transom and deck was a big job. Seeing your pictures makes me feel mine is a piece of cake

Your vacuum baggin looks fine. What are you using to pull vacuum?

Ground the whole hull and jigged up. The stern.. will work on cap tomorrow and fit it before icore the hull and pour the transome.....

Some more rehab hpotos
 

This is what i did after the rain stopped last week... Poured transom and added deck cap to start the hull Layup

What was supposed to be a 1.75 thick transom turned out to be 2.25" on the inside. and that threw my whole calculations off on the pour So i did not have enough to pour.. I pour what I could cause of the Resin window i was working in, and when my materials come in I will pour the rest. I will have to drill holes in to the cured resin so that i will get a better bond and some how rough up the sides...inner skin.. half inch really made a didfference when pouring.. made a temp cap so that i could pour the rest up to the top...

here are the rest of pictures
 

Basically more pictures of the Transom build. You can see a 2x4 in the hull at and angle... Well after pouring one bucket and I just happened to look inside the hull and what do you know, a leak. so I found what I could in the boat a used chip brush and some glass mat and veola a plugged the hole oh and a 2x4 to hold pressure till it kicked off.. the whole time cussing cuase if this did not work i can through the whole project away . Cause I would not be able to cut this crap out of the hyll . haha.. Anyway it worked Thank God

OH found out today well caseing broke so have to burn 5000 for a new 4 inch 400 ft deep well ..I will not be able to finish project this year.. Maybe next year....have bought most materials to do hull and gunnel supports. Maybe the front anchor Hatch But that is about it.. Take care guys see you soon
