Dan, I'm itching and can smell fiberglass at my house. Looks like you have done a lot of hard work. I say close the transom in and bracketize! When your done, i'll bring the 23 over so you can get on it!

Are you just recoring the casting platform and bow area or do you plan on recoring the whole cap?
If you were just planning on recoring the two mentioned areas..could you have left the cap on boat & in tact and done repairs from outside?
Just curious!

i am new to this and not sure what you mean by recoring. but the casting platform was real weak around fishbox and on the gunnel around the bow. the gunnel is pretty wide towards the bow and would like to be able to stand on it. I took it off to see what was going on under it and also to remove the old wood that is glassed in and replace with new, and am also going to glass in more wood under gunnel. It was actually very easy to remove gunnel cap. Now i have it completely stripped down and i can re-do everything.

What you describe is recoring; replacing the wood core in the laminate.
