Transom doublers, seat boxes, fence and rear seat bulkhead. Sept 27th-Oct 5th.

The hull bottom is now attached to the keel and flipped upright.  The boat sat this way for about 1.5 years.  The following posts are now closer to the present time...lol

I've recently measured and cut out the planing doublers to be attached.  The pieces that will make the seat boxes have been cut, as well as the forward fence, and rear seat box/compartment bulkhead.  The following pics show these pieces cut, attached, assembled and fiberglassed.

Dry fitting the planning doublers and fence.
Doublers epoxies in place, first wetting out all pieces, then spreading with thickened epoxy.  I've used a few screws in the back middle section, plenty of spring clamps, and paint cans to weigh it down.  
Here are the seat boxes assembled dry and set in place.  I've also cut the outside edge to match the curve of the hull bottom/side.  Next I'll round the edges over and epoxy/fiberglass together.
