Default 1974 23 SF rebuild

Big milestone on my 23 SF rebuild. After all the grinding, glassing, grinding, overthinking etc, I’ve finally bedded the transom core and laid most of the inside skin.



Old transom was nice and rotten, so it came out easy.



Holes/keyholes filled



Four layers of 1708 with epoxy on outside skin to beef it up.



2.25 inches of coosa (one 1.5 inch, with ¾ piece glued with epoxy/cabosil mix)



Bedded in with Epoxy, cabosil, milled fiber mix.



One layer of 1708 followed by 4 layers of 1700 on inside. Going to let it cure and clean up some spillage and grime tracked in before one final layer of 1708, tabbed out 12 inches (I’m tabbed out 3,6,9,12).



Then onto the stringers. Going to raise the deck 2 inches.

The bubbles in the lay up for the outside skin are carriage bolts. The skin had a big bow in it after I removed the old core. The top half was much thinner than the bottom. You can see a large piece of 3/4 ply in back of the transom. I bolted thru before laying all that 1708. Cut the glass around the bolts and they popped out. Then I just patched those spots before bedding the core.
