Finally got a nice day up here on Saturday and I was so excited for this part that I forgot to rotate the phone. Forgive the mods. The transom is finally laminated with 4 layers of 1708. After that I replaced the last 6 feet of liner temporarily and stitched it back together at the cut line. The plan was to rebond the liner where it contacts the stringers so I cut ahead of the coffin and the installed a unistrut frame to lift the whole section. I have a recurring fear after reading a lot of threads where the sides spread during deck or coring work so I made a gage stick to index five spots along the hull. Probably overkill but want the liner to drop in with as little drama as possible when I rebond it. So I wheeled the hull under my 2x6 gantry and pulled it with a come-along. Stringers as I already new we’re not level and badly collapsed/cracked. It’s a lot more work but I can’t wait to see how much this will improve what was already a solid ride. It is mostly a 7/8” gap between mating surfaces so I plan to carve tops, dig out and replace foam, and level new tops more like 1/4” from bottom of liner. Will try to post more frequently.
