The devil is in the details! The little things always take the most time, well besides fairing...

Yes i was in a hurry and only measured once before cutting on these as u can see, DOH!

Quickie gutter material

Moved the miter saw outside for these cuts. The whole aft edge got core removed and solid glass put in for hinge hardware. The corners got filled with epoxy (red stuff) and rounded over before tabbing.

This is a piece of hollow-back rubrail with packing tape under it mushed in some epoxy to form a round profile. It will keep that edge from getting beat up. The rest of bulkhead gets core taken out of the edges, epoxy filled then glassed too... Fasteners got a full inch depth filled.

Question:
When you remove the core on the edges of things (bulkheads, gunwale etc.) what tool or process do you use to do that?

I've used a cut off stubby Allen wrench chucked into a drill to remove core in a cored hull for a thru-hull or transducer or whatever, but I cant imagine how you would do it for a whole gunwale or bulkhead.

A trim router with a straight paddle cutting bit and a steady hand mostly. If i cant fit the router ill use a die grinder with some kind of burr chucked in it. A sharp stubby 1/4” drill bit works well too. Im only going 3/8”ish deep in most cases, and in high impact areas.

You took on an ambitious project there. Did you ever learn what she hit?
