Some boat progress. I got some gel coat on the inner transom. Also working on a fiberglass strip to back up all the holes in the sides of the cap. A tropical storm may slow me down the next day or so.

I finished the grinding on the underside of the cap. Installed the transom eyes and drain tube. Also test fit and disassembled the transom outdrive assembly.

So I was supposed to be working on my boat today but... I found this little gem on Facebook marketplace. So I had to make a run down and pull it out of a field. 1967 futura super sport v- 150 Glastron. I can't I just can't say no to a 60's Glastron

I cut out some larger access to the rear of the boat. I also finished glassing in the upper part of the transom. Things were going great until the hundred degree heat chased me inside.

All holes in the hull patched with fiberglass . Hull sanded down. Shot a coat of gel coat on the bow. Got a little wet with some rain but it was well cured before that happened.
