Taco marine part # v21-9613 rigid vinyl. Go with the higher end Seastar. Like how you incorporated the concrete tubes in the mold. First class as always!!!! Keep up the great work.

I layed up another mat and 1 layer of 1708 on it and let it set up over night .




I Popped it off the mold and it was relatively easy





this is where it got tricky I set the circular saw to just under 3/4" and made some rips. I then got in with the flat bar and chiseled away without damaging any gelcoat. once I got a small area of gelcoat opened it went easy, One plastic wedge under and it popped right up







I cleaned it up with the air nozzle then took it outside for a wash and cleaning. I then took my air trimmer and cut all the excess off. I dropped it in the front part of the console and it fits pretty good. I little more trimming and I will be glassing it into place.










I got the template out for the forward bulkhead and cut it out of the of the 1/2" panel I layed up and it fits pretty tight. might have to do a little trimming to get it back a little bit.

I decided to put an anchor locker door in so I made a mold for the door and the acess panel at the same time. it was easier to cut the template for the flange and make it 1/8" bigger with some luan.

I also made a box for to go over the fill and vent hose. I will drill 2 holes through it for them and mount it down to the floor to keep stuff from falling on top of the tank.











gonna do one more layer of glass on the anchor hatch then pop it off.



I cleaned up the transom with the flush cut bit in the router, I then took out the grinder and cleaned the transom down for some glass I hand sanded the corners and put a radius on the corners to make the glass roll easier.
