Gonna Go For It - 23 SF

[FAS]

A few pictures of the console. You can see all the gauges will be at the steering wheel. I had to fill and glass 30 years of the PO's holes. I am contemplating filling in the whole front top section to flush mount all of the stuff. Anyone have an idea or pictures how it looks completely filled in flush?




Main floor is in place. Front and rear tank bulkheads are glassed in and secured to the bottom of the boat. Used neoprene 1/4" with gullys on each side to drain water fore and aft. Tank is in, any and all wood is glassed over and sealed. 112 gal. tank epoxy coated. Secured with minimal foam.




It had two 4 1/2" rigging grommets, now glassed and filled. I can put a new single grommet anywhere I like. The old Bennett trimmed tabs and transducer were removed, grinded out, filled and glassed with epoxy. Luckily, no water came out of those holes.



In its home for the next few months. All hardware and rub rails are off now, all stress cracks etc. are grinded out, filled and glassed. Also decided to get rid of the front vents. They are backed with glass panels and they are on their way to disappear.





As I pushed the tank forward I made up a space for duel batteries and an oil tank. Maybe a wash down pump too. Pumps and filter housing are in and wired. All grey gelcoated so its easy to maintain.

This is how I left it - more to go every day...
