Some of you guys are funny.
Not much done this weekend, was teaching the kids how to ride a bike. They picked it up really quick.
I removed the all the hardware off the deck cap and deck. They did not make it easy to remove the bow rail because they glassed over the bolts.
The cap cleaned up well. There is no coring except on the front part of it. I will core the rest of the gunnel cap all the way back.
In the above pic if you look real close you can see were they glassed in the wires for the bow light. Lord knows you cant have those wires flopping about. I cut back the stringers to allow room to remove the transom.
I was able to save one of the 3/4 inch pieces of plywood that made up the transom. It came out intact. It was simpley nailed to the first piece that was glassed to the outer skin. I will use this piece for my template for the new transom. The skin was sanded so it's now ready for the new transom.
I moved over to the deck and started filleting it with the saw saw.
I'm cutting off the back end of the deck were the scuppers are molded in. I'd like to reuse this piece and move it aft and allow another 8-10 inches of deck space. I'll fill in the floor were I took it out.
so far my plan looks good on paper but I'll see how it goes when it's time to put it all back together. I did not get to pick up fiberglass supplies like I wanted to this past weekend So Hopfully I'll be doing that this Thursday and doing some more work on the boat this weekend.
Well it's getting late and I dont want to miss my opera singing lessons. Heres one last pic of the King getting on it.
