[jesusv]

looking good Hugo. it sure is hot out there seems like you have a nice shady area there

ok so im getting ready to decide how to finish the inside of the boat. my question is how much support does building a top cap offer to the transom? i know that is were my original crack started, so im guessing it is needed on the new designed transom?

[hugo]

Well its been a while and I am finally able to start again on my repair. Built the transom cap and floor from wood and I just started glassing my prices. Hope I don't get to busy to have to stop again.

[hugo]

well its getting close enough that im getting exited again. some more sanding and a bit more glass then sanding and gelcoat. i seee light at the end of the tunnel!!!!

[hugo]

Well exept for a realy good needed washing a missing bracket drain plug and cap i think im done! just need to reregister the boat and trailer and put her in the water! praying all works out well and she will perform as expected. fingers crossed! im happy with the outcome for a first timer on my own.

How did you glass your new section of floor to the rest of the boat? Did you just glass the top side? Or did you also glass the bottom? If so how was that done? I want to remove my storage compartments and splash well and extend my floor to the transom but can't figure how to do it. Thanks. I like the look of the curve of the transom cap. Very nice work.
