Good looking little boat. What kind of egg beater are you going to hang on that transom. More pics more words and did I mention more pics. The down side of more pics is more work. But as that crazy dude in the Adam Sandler movies said YOU CAN DO IT.

its something you add to resin to thicken it up, i had to make that whole section of that boat, as it was all smashed in there was a muskoka chair arm going through the hull, a previous owner must have crashed it.

Looks like you're really "gung-ho" on your boat resto,my only concern and it should be yours is that after you removed your "cap",you should have braced the hull with some scrap wood or straps to stop the hull from flexing and/or loosing its shape. When you try to put the "cap" back on you might run into some problems with regard to its fitting properly!

ive bi keeping a close eye on that the hole way through the project and it hasent flexed at all ,and if it does i will use those winch straps to squeeze the hull together then drop the top on then cut the straps it should go smoooooothly..
