Hey Dirt, I'm looking at the pics where you tabbed the transom with the full skins. Did you use these full skins to tab into the bottom of the hull and around each side? Are all five skins tabbed around the side and bottom corners? I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I am taking notes from your work, and getting a lot of good information

The pic is actually just a pic of the prep, hadnt been glassed yet.

When I put the transom in the boat it already had 3 layers of 1700 on each side of the core, (remember the whole outer skin got taken off). Then it got another full layer with tabs on the inside, and 3 more tabs after that. The outside wasnt touched until now, well except for some wraps over the splashwell.

Glassed it here, 2 more 17oz with tabs and some finish cloth on the transom face. So just 2 tabs on to the outside of the hull. Thats about all you can really do as thin as these hulls are... Final count : 4 layers inside, 5 and some finish cloth outside. Plus all the tabbing inside. Splashwell and knees/stringers all double tabbed 17oz.
