(beefed up stringer to transom join. the original join had broken loose ans the 3/4 plywood knee was not glassed at all. also the old transom had no glass covering it or wrapping from the face to the hull transom.
|
|
|
new floor installed and ready for glass. once the glass is done (tomorrow) the bilge pumps and the kicker bracket can be mounted. then the top goes on.

boe looking aft. notice the new beefed up kicker motor support on the port side. the original was just 1/8" fiberglass. now it is is 1" wood glassed over 2 times and tied to the side of the hull. much stonger now. tomorrow (monday) I will be glassing in the floor using poly as I ran out of epoxy. 10 gallons only got me to where you see now. The top goes back on on tuesday.
