I lied in the above post, thats not actually done, I have one more layer to add this morning. As far as the fit, it does not have to fit real tight, but should follow the same shape as your hull, so that the gap is consistent. If you put the wood all the way to the edge, there will be no bond on the sides. I went with approx. a 1/4" gap, and filled with the putty Pepe is talking about, there is more high tech things nowadays, but the sawdust putty Pepe had put in mine was the only thing taht survived, so that is what I went back with, mixed with and added some techie stuff for good measure.

    Very cool!
    I guess I never thought of the gap for the bonding area. Now that you explain it, it makes sense.
    I guess just coming from my carpenter background, I was sort of blinded by what I know, and not thinking in these terms.
    Big project Rick, keep plugging along.

    Didnt get the knees in over the weekend, but did get the outside skin started. Had today off from work to get the taxes done, and when I got home from the accountant, threw the deck piece back on to measure for the knees, and new back seat bulkhead.

    Few new pics from today, got the knees cut, and started the install, and added a 3rd piece of 3/4 where the motor will mount spanning the knees. considering adding a 3rd knee on the center stringer, that is just a wedge in there now to hold the plywood while the putty hardens, will finish laying the glass tomorrow.

    Rick --- LOOKING GOOD !!!


    You`ve always impressed me. When you tackle a project, you do not "F" around.
    Looks like excellent work. I would add that 3rd, center knee. Nothing wrong with over-building something.


    KEEP THE PICS COMING !

    Havent done much work in the last 2 weeks, but did manage to get all 57 holes patched up, ground out, glassed in, filled with fiberglass reinforced filler, then a coat of 3M premium marine over the whole transom, and sanded off to blend it all.

    Shot a coat of primer on there to see if I could see any imperfections, looked pretty good, so I shot a black guidecoat on, and will sand again this weekend.
