HA! yea its hard to miss my yard full of boats! There are so many boats that go by here its hard to keep them all straight.

Ill email you my number, swing by sometime if you see me out working on stuff.

I got the keel stringer out last night, totally wet and they had drilled some 1/2in holes through it. It was cracked where these holes were.



The Transducers were a joke. I chopped the glass out around them and then pounded them out with a hammer. Nothing but some 5200 holding them in. The glass didnt even wrap around the open end of the stringer, I am pretty sure this is how it got so wet.

Not much pic worthy stuff to post, but I did get all 6 Carbs on my motor straightened out, and fogged it for the winter. NOw I can take it off the old boat and put it on the pallet (inside storage) for the winter.
Also confirmed that the stator isnt messed up and its charging at 13.5vt.
My Penske board will be here on Thurs along with a bunch of resin and 6in 1704 Tape. Gota get to grinding!

I did get my tanks coated and ready to drop in.

I have been dreading this project for weeks.
Big the bullet and ground ALL the excess glass out of the boat. I have left the little shelves besides the stringers as I think they are semi structural. THis hull flexes less than some, but I would still like to keep it as square as possible while I work.
Ill cut them out after I get some of the structure back in the boat. They are plywood and all wet.

Very nice......the smell of epoxy resin is in the air!!! I started my transom, console, electronics, etc., etc. rebuild about this time last year, heck I'm still finding sanding dust in the garage. Good luck!!!

I got smart about this one, I could have run the grinder for 3hrs in the cool shade inside the garage. But NO,I opted to do it just outside,and paid for it in sweating. Less mess to cleanup and the breeze was blowing.
I am planning on backing it right up just inside the door to keeep the resin out of the direct sunlight for some more working time.

Got my Penskee board in yesterday. Cut everything to fit.
Hope to catch up with the guy I get my Matt from, and I can get that cut out tonight too.







The inside skin I left this solid.



The outter skin, I drilled about 100 holes in it to allow for air pockets to excape and excess resin to pass through.

Couple quick pictures, Made up my scupper tubes (copied somebody I saw on classic mako cant rember who) I also got ALL the matt cut for the transom, got a bunch of 24oz roven that I am going to lay in there as well that is not in the pictures.
