Default Re: 23' rebuild progress

The "shop" we are using has plastic on 2 sides and a 250K "salamander" for heat. Loud and smelly and cold quick when it turned off. We have been having trouble getting the MAS epoxy to harden as nights are in the teens and twenties every (freakin) night.

So we decided to move it into the real shop with heat and insulation and lights and everything. We removed the door, hinges and one side of the jam to get exactly the 97" needed the boat is wide at midships. Touching concrete to gel coat ever so slightly on each side. Here are images of it's new cramped but cozy 70 degree 24/7 home:





We were conserned with (and warned about) the MAS epoxy not curing fully before painting. She's smiling now. So is Tom...

Oh, yea, check out the 2-1/8" diameter hole in the bottom of the transom that Tom installed a couple of days ago. Nice job!
