Shall take some photos tonight unless the red wine calls stronger than the garage.
Fairing or Adhesive? Have you used microballoons or microfibres with the resin?

Oh and

I have spent a long time reading and debating the whole flooding non flooding debate…. And as a result of this and the strong desire not to have water sloshing round the floor all the time I have committed to the non flooding.

I have to say it is all new to me this resin and glassing work and I have done lots of reading and then a bit more. and it all seams a lot less hassle and work than i exspected.

I have not even got the transom in yet or even looked at tubes and you are looking for info on the power pack…..

I shall reserve this till after I have got the transom in, as it shall depend on how confident I feel on the construction of this important bit of the hull.

I am thinking of going down the Tosh 90 direct injection route. As 90hp seams to be the agreed sweat spot for these ribs. Mate has a 5.4 with a 125hp 2/ hung on the back which is in my view over the top, fun but over the top.

Looks good mate!
I see what you mean now. Once bonded all the way around that area is well enough.

Now.....

GET ON WITH IT!!!!

I have been a bit er busy with other things of late but I have started on the console build part of the project and have the rest of the deck cut and all the under deck strengthening in place to just fire it down.

But need to get a few things sorted out before that like

- Transom needs to go in – But I did last night managed to make up a 9mm ply pattern for this.
- Need to sort out a fuel tank and work out where it is going to sit
- And just remembered that I am looking to put in an under floor pipe for the control lines to run in so very glad I have not rushed to fit the floor just yet.

Placed order yesterday for more resin and the rest of the kit one needs. So with any luck and if I can clear my feet Sunday is looking like a good day to “bash on”

Shall get some more photos up as I move forward.

Transom is in

Thank you to all the words of advice on how to build a transom.

Well it was a long day, after starting at 11am and not calling it a day till 8:30pm. We managed to get the 3 sheets of 18mm for the transom cut and fitted after bonding them and clapping them with bolts to the original outer skin. Got the stringers in to add support for the floor and for added support for the transom. The knees have been cut and bonded to 40mm. They are not fitted as yet but looking to get these suck on tomorrow night…

I think I deserve the beer now…
