Yea, that was a lot of PB filling in those chines, but it looks like it was worth it, for the easier wrap...Now that you got the epoxy down, you can try VE on the next project boat :D

Looking real good Minch!

Did the small whatever you want to call them on both sides. I basically did 2 layers on the flat 2" onto hull then went back and did the inside corners 1 layer 2 to 3 inches each way

I appreciate the compliment but if I was doing it the way you are I would be way behind. Don't forget I cheated and took off the top haha.

No...no cheat at all. Just the best way. My back tells me about it everyday when I see your progress. :D

No not yet. I've been helping a buddy of mine. I had to repair some dock rash on the boat I sold him last year. He left it in dock after someone took out the wood. And then I had to take a 12 foot cargo trailer and add a bed shower and sink . but I'm about done so back to the boat.
Good news is I do own the 01 150 HP Johnson so motor is covered

Got to love it! Work is nice and clean. I get a kick out of the magic markers. I do the same thing to help me know the cut pc. goes into the corner or the lay of the glass. :watermelon: Soon while your fishing smacking some waves you can have some of that watermelon.:joyous:
Nothing else to say but GREAT WORK!
