And so it begins .....again

What's your resin system?
I used VE, fumed silica, milled glass and a load of glass balloons. I suspect you want to go easy on the milled fibers if you DIY a filler. Enough balloons and it gets pretty easy to sand. Not as easy as poly and balloons, but nothing like straight VE.

I think Hermco had a 3M VE based putty that he liked- he posted about it once. I never tried my Merton's Hull and Deck Putty.

I used poly for the resin

Looked a little on the Fgic.com website where I bought all the materials and it looks like they have a compatible product that looks like it will work. Am going to call them in the morning.

They also have the pourable transom in 5 gal buckets and it only involves 1 trip up

Well I worked about an hour each day for the last 4 days since it is getting hot down here.

I have about 85% of the floor done and all that I need is to pickup the fairing supplies to finish. More fun sanding LOL

I started measuring how high up I need to extend the transom and following some advise here I'm going up to 26 1/2. Going to use some of the skins that went un-used off the floor and glass them into the transom and have it ready to pour the transom sometime next week end.

Boy am I having fun with grinders, sanders, glass and resin

all this fun pays off, looks good there....

Well it's been a while but I have been grinding and glassing every day for the last 10 days an hour or so when I get home. Almost to the point that I can think about the portable transom getting done. Still need a bit but I'm getting close. The floor is also about 90% done just another layer of mat and back to fairing and sanding.

Not many pics but I will start taking some in the next few days.

It MAY turn out to be a 2017 model ....if you know what I mean...LOL
