Default Final layer hits the transom...

Finally... The last layer has hit the transom. This is the fifth layer of glass. All 1708 biaxial/ stitchmat combo and epoxy. I would approximate the glasswork is 1/4" thick.

In the last pic Chance, you can see how I wrapped all the edges onto the hull sides and bottom- not too much, just 3 1/2 or 4". I just wanted to tie into the sides if even marginally. I've got more progress pics- i need to get them off of mine and my buddies phones (i'll figure it out someday) easy to take the pics with my phone. PITA to get them off.

This transom is so strong it is almost ridiculous, when you knock on it it sounds like you are knocking on a piece of granite. Though I suppose it should, there are five gallons of epoxy already in the transom.

All thats left to do is fair in with some epoxy filler and we are ready to paint the hull!
