Project is still under way. For the sake of time, and my spare time, I've decided to sub out the 'glass work. The hatch recoring is in progress now and I'll be dropping the boat off on Sunday for him to fix the soft spot in the bow and fill in all the helm area. My new 'glass guy does freelance work on the side and has a day job doing 'glass work for a major, big time boat manufacturer in this area who sells boats worldwide. It'll be a quality job.
I've located some 30 gallon plastic barrels and am emptying the tank finally. Have about 60 gallons of trash out of it now and maybe 1/2-3/4" left in the bottom of the tank to try to get so I can start pulling it out when I get the boat back from the 'glass work.
Made progress today, but I'll be spending tomorrow replacing a pool pump, hanging some ceiling fans, installing toilet parts, changing my truck oil, watching the Clemson game, and going to a barbecue bourbon and bluegrass festival. Hence the reason for having someone else do the glassing.
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't considered selling the thing already and going and buying one of these cheap 24 Albemarles that's ready to go today. Time is a precious thing these days
