Also there was putty between the well and keel which my well got broken but i fixed that.

Great work! For what it’s worth I broke the forward well in mine and thought it was easier at the time for me to cut it out and make mold for a new one thou slightly smaller as it gave me a chance to put 1” foam all around it . Forgot to drain it one August ice had melted but still had cold water the next sat. If you can put some foam around yours it really helped!

So i made some head way the past weekend. I got the transom all glassed in.in total there is 4 layers of 1.5 oz mat and 3 layers of 22 oz Triaxal fiberglass. The green around the core is core bond i used it to help the radius not so tight. I used the white tape to help keep the core clean and easy clean up. Also made the scupper block out of divinycell foam for the rear. Will install them later i still don’t know if i want the scuppers to exit the floor or the rear. I did foam in the stringers but i ordered and the wrong weight. I did 2 lbs and it should of been 4 lb foam. So this weekend i will be digging it out and cleaning the edges up around the transom

You might want to ask the guys on here that know more than me, but from what I've read you should be fine with the 2lbs foam. Foam isn't the structural even if it's 4lbs.

Petey, I would love to see your boat and am in N. Attleboro regularly. Please send me a personal message if you want to show it off.

It’s been a slow summer haven’t really worked on the boat been busy with work but this weekend I did manage to get one stringer fiberglass and couple weeks before got the scupper blocks fiberglass in. Was hoping to get both stringers done but Ran out of resin

[Petey]

Waiting on some resin so I started to cut out the bulk heads around the gas tanks. I’m thinking about adding some foam in the small space on each side on the engine stringers under the gas tank to fill the air space so it doesn’t trap water. What’s your thoughts?

I had the same thing (but maybe not as deep?) around the beds for the motor mounts (I/O) - I used 2 layers of 3/4 Coosa beveled to match deadrise and glassed over to keep the water from accumulating.
