Default Re: My 23' Rebuild

We used polyester resin I'm pretty sure. I have no idea how much for the transom alone, my guess would be 3-5 gallons??? I did watch them and they sqeegees alot. We used about 18 or so for the whole project including deck, console, etc.- alot was wasted. I used my buddys glass man for most of the glass and paint work while he was rebuilding his boat yard after hurricane Ike, so I really dont know the specifics of the glass #'s and so on. I do know that the transom has 2 layers of 3/4" marine okume snadwiched with 3 layers of glass between each, the skin, and outter layer. The corners have alot, I'm thinking 6 layers, I wanted the glass to overlap onto the hull sides and transom at least 1/2 the width of a whole role (18+" on each side of the corner?). It was built it to withstand the pressure/stress of twins on a bracket, and to handle the choppy Texas GOM. The bulk head in the anchor locker was also removed and rebuilt as well.
