Nothing too significant. Did make the transom template and cut the core sheets to shape. Core should be installed and glassed in about a week. Lay-up table for deck pieces is assembled.

Order of glass work will be transom, cockpit sole/deck, fwd deck recore, helm area cowling.

Will be slow going even though the weather has finally broken with other time demands.

In a little spring cleaning mode. Before they go to the dump, does anyone want the windshield or twin engine motorbox off my 1975 23 Sceptre project?
Understand that size and shipping cost are obstacles for this so just looking for a longshot that someone in NJ, Md, or Va might need these. Im on eastern shore of MD.

Windshield is in fair shape - no excessive pitting but will need all new glazing / seals and new side panes.

Motorbox is really only useful for the shape. Core on top and sides is saturated and will likely need to be replaced - lot of work.

Creeping ahead- transom complete except for external fairing, vent holes filled, stringers re-attached to transom,bulkhead forward of tank laminated and installed, tank beds laminated and installed tank for trial fit.

Next steps: install tank attachment points, laminating deck (the biggest job so far) , plugging holes in cabin bulkhead, core/ laminate cabin sole....etc., etc., etc.

Seacraft yellow is back.....well at least until it gets painted in the coming months.

Slogging along through the winter. Sole/deck pieces made, livewell /fishbox made, fwd deck recored, tank installled, fwd half of sole with box installed, 50 other smaller jobs.
Soon to install aft half of sole and tape seams.
Cowling replacement for windshield is next.

Kind of committed now...still need to mold up dash panels.
Getting ready to glass over the foam . Then finish up fitting the seat boxes.
After that finish glassing in transom pieces.
