i believe i got it.....lol
sofar im at 2 layers of 2.5 around the trunk base,4 layers wrapping the rear and covering the old drain.and 2 layers that wrap from the floor over the trunk.shes solid already,and doesnt move like before when i would give it a good bump.
letting the last layer cure in my limited sunshine,think i may call it good.used about half gal of resin sofar,and roughly 40x50 in of 2.5 oz angel hair mat.
next ill work on the thwart brackets.
a few weeks ago i went have fun and sink her to test flotation,she floated well with no rigging and full of water.but i did notice my foam filled seats hold water,and foam core is wet.so maybe this upcoming winter ill take care of this.i seen some folks simply install a 8" hatch on the front the seats,pull out the foam and install pool noodles.my foam seems to be a 2 part poured style......in mind the best way to remove is to remove the entire seats and start fresh,then glass her back together,may add a storage compartment at the same time if i go that route.im not racing,so adding weight isnt a concern of mine.
another future project is to take care of the osmosis/blisters on the hull.its not terrible but 1/16th to 1/8 dia blisters litter the hull.i guess if i could put them all in a pile id have a 4ft x 4ft spread of them.not bad considering the hulls size.i just dont wanna spend the whole season doing repairs.so ill repair the most critical for now.
anyway heres a few pics of the ruff work.....nothing fancy.
weve got a low pressure system creeping up on us trying to develop into a depression,gonna really put a dent on my progress.
