Okay Fellas,
It's going much slower than anticipated, but somehow or another I seem to inch along. Tonight I FINALLY finished glassing in gussets on the outside of the stringers. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll finish prepping the transom, attach formica to the outside of the hull and start the transom re-build. Question? I'm using epoxy resin. Should I not use this for the outermost layer of the transom? You know, the layer I roll on to the formica which will eventually serve as the outermost layer of the boat? I plan to finish the outside of the hull and deck with gel-coat, and vaguely recall hearing that gel coat doesn't bond real well with epoxy. Your advice please...
If anyone wants my rusty one piece motor mount, send me $30 and I'll ship for free. I'm pulling it tomorrow. It's set up for 33" stringers...
Once the transom's in, I'll call in the thickness to Arneson who'll start fabricating the extension box. While that's being done, I think I'll send the hull to the plastic beader guy who'll strip the rest of the white paint inside, and fire off that nasty bottom paint.
Oh yeah, I CAN'T WAIT for the EUFALA get together. Since I'm "mooching" rides, I'll bring tools and plenty of boat sodas!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D
By the way, one of our very good friends here on the registry has been EXTREMELY helpful to me. I'd like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU and I'll see you tomorrow......You know who you are...
As always, don't be shy. Post your thoughts!!!!!
