Default Re: 1978 SF restoration, my first one.....

After getting the gunnel supports set in placed and tabbed to the hull I went ahead and cut the openings for the hatches that will be on either side of the bow.



The front of the forward gunnel supports didn't line up perfectly with the storage area so I raised the top cap to glass the inside of the support to the edge of inner liner. Hopefully this will ensure nothing would find a crack in the storage area and rattle around the hull.



Also tabbed the inside of the support to the hull with three layers of biax for support.



After that was done I glassed the top cap to the supports. I ground down the gel coat to make a better transition. I used a strip of biax at the seam and a top layer of matt.



Also glassed the last portion of the transom cap in the needed to be built up to match.
