$600 seems like a deal even for a project. is that the one from EBAY a couple weeks ago? i'm trying to nail down a deal on mako console with baitwell that's here in town( the last seacraft/mako plant was about 15 miles from me). if so, i will be selling my console. where are you located? i'm heading to big pine in july.

im actually located in northern fl abotu 5 min from i-75 but im originally from key west, fl so it should work out great. when you decide to get rid of it let me know and ill send you payment, depending on how soon im ready for it i may just pay for it to be shipped.

I made some progress after the weather warmed a little this week. The transom now has four layers total of 1708 and two of roving. I finished planing and prepping the stringer extension pieces and also wrapped each of the lateral floor supports with 1708 scraps. (that was a real pita)

here are a couple part way through wetting the new caps for my stringer system. i mixed up around a half gallon first but that didn't get me as far as i thought!

So far i'm about five and a half gallons or so worth of epoxy into this. that is the transom and the stringers. does that sound about right? it seems like alot to me but that may be 'cause now i know what it costs [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

also, maybe i'm missing something, but my posts are coming out kinda strange when i try to put more than one image to the post. any advise?

chrisvazquez- here are two pics of the original console if you are still interested. i bought a console from a 2009 mako 211 from a guy here in town so i won't be using mine.

also, this guy has(well last week anyway) alot of the cut in tackle tray boxes that do three small or two large trays for $25. i'm back to his house tomorrow so if anybody is interested i can see how many he still has.
