I thought it was Fool on race day ;D

Yes, the stringers do get attached. Worked on that this morning. Got off from work at 0600 hours, shot home, got changed and put on a second layer of cloth and started attaching te stringers to the transom.
Here's a few pics, off to bed, back in at 1800.

Laying out the second layer of cloth. Overlapping onto the sides and along the hull.

Tieing in the stringers to the transom.

Ran out of resin. Gotta stop for the day. :-[ :-[

Almost completed. Tie in the stringers and gonna add in a new battery box support as well.
Ok, off to bed.

Blue, I'll let ya know how happy I am after the credit card bill comes in for the West System. :-[ :-[ :-[

You need to work on your begging skills - I thought you were getting free stuff just for pity sake?

Or you could just threaten to arrest the boatyard owner and trump up some bogus charges ;D

Golly, do I have to think of everything for you? :

Good work Hammer man....you'll get your money back when she sells.

 

[msbhammer]

I'm hoping to find a winner for her on E-Bay. ;D

Hammer, i painted the deck after my re-do.  The first time I used boat paint from Petitt and was unhappy with the results.  them the next time i used porch paint by glidden and it has held up great,i also added non skid to it.
On the stringer drains, i enlarged the holes a little and stuck a piece of 3/4 PVC through and let it stick out about an inch on both sides.  I then glassed around the pipe. After it cured, I cut the PVC flush with the sides of the stringers. No water intrusion forever

 

[msbhammer]

Great thinking on the pvc piping on the stringers Phats. Thanks.

Excellent job hammer. Can you come over and build me one of those little fiberglass bean pools? It's hot around here and I just need something to cool off in. Sorry bout your fuel tank though.

 

[msbhammer]

[C YENSEN]

I think I would have put knee boards in for the stringers to transom. But you are selling so no need

 

[msbhammer]
