Thanks Billy! It's coming out really nice I believe. Can't tell you how many hours I've spent just sitting in the boat brainstorming lol. I tell ya Denny gave me some flack at first but has been so willing to share info and pass on knowledge. I'm really glad I joined this site and appreciate all the comments and support I've received on this site.

Alright finally back to work on this sucker! Got quite a bit done on the console while working midnights. Raised and cored the bottom. Changed the top to accommodate my electronics and other stuff.

Finished installing the bulkheads and boxes for fuel fill lines. Also put a backing block for the d-ring.

Used a crane to flip it over hokked to the front d-ring and an eye bolt in the drain plug hole. Worked pretty well. Couldn't manage to get any pics of the process. The keel damage was a bit worse than I originally thought and the repair that was done was even worse.

Got the old repair ginded out and put some fresh glass in and shaped pretty nicely. Also had a little repair to fix on one of the strakes. Sanded the entire hull once and filled all the imperfections with polysilk. Probably one more round of sanding and filling till I will feel comfortable to start rolling on the new gelcoat.

The boat is coming out great. Have you thought about spraying the gel coat? You will save tens of hours of sanding if you spray over rolling. Plus it's a lot easier to get even coverage spraying then rolling. You can get a cheap gun from Harbor Freight that will work good. I spray it all the time with some duratec or patch aid mixed in. You don't need a huge compressor either. I have a craftsman that I think is a 30 gallon and it keeps up fine. It will really save you tons of time. Keep up the good work.

Damn Bones, I guess that "gathering" section on our forum is too tricky. We need to get our moderator, "crash" Danny, to work on simplification!!
