Re: 18SF rebuild
We got the transom box glassed into place from the outside. Put some gelcoat on the fiberglass to protect the resin from the sun if we take it out in the sun. Here are some pics of the progress.
In these pics you can see that we made the lip that will connect the liner to hull continue across where the old motor cutout was.
Next we are going to get some good mesurements and put some 2x4s across the liner so it will keep its shape. We are going to need to come up with a good way to keep the hull in shape so when the liner goes back in it will match up. I think this will be the most challenging and the most important step. If the hull or the liner gets out of wack that could pose a huge problem. The new floor is going to be put in while the liner is out of the boat. This way we can glass the floor right into the side of the hull and then glass the liner to the floor. I am hoping this will make the boat even stronger than before. When we take out the liner it can be flipped over and all the seems can be glassed from the inside so we wont have to worry with faring those seams but it will give it alot more strength. I will post some more pics when we start taking the liner out of the boat. Thanks, Adam
