Work is coming along nicely. Here are some progress pics. I really like the arched transom and how we were able to maintain the arch. I am not sure I will be able to fit the rub rail over the arch but we will surely try.
Because these Sceptres had that tub in front of the motor, the stringers in the middle of the boat did not go all the way back and connect to the transom. We went ahead and extended the stringers to tie it into the transom. This will give a lot of needed strength since we will be bolting a bracket to the transom.
We also extended the deck that fuel tank sits on so I will have the option to go back with a larger tank should I choose. I am not sure if I need more than 100 gallons, but I guess it is better to have it and not need it than.....
There was a soft spot under the floor on the port side where the seat was screwed into the deck. This repair caused us to re-gelcoat the entire floor.
