Here are the most resent pics

Transom is tabbed in and i decided to fill the gap under the transom. I used superputty to glue and seal in my drain extension, and made a batch of high fibered peanut butter to fill it in, then layed 2 or 3 layers of 1708 over it all.

the 2X4's going across the stringers have a hole drilled with a screw going into the 2X2 that's attached to the stringer so i could suspend and adjust the stringer above the hull, then ran my PL under the stringer

This is after tabbing in the stringers and capping off half of them.

P.S. 1707 does NOT like to bend around corners!

BIG jump in pictures here, i think the between pics are on our camera,in a box, in a storage unit, someplace......

so here's the floor, as you can see i have a bunch of weight stacked onto the front there, that's to hold it down. You see, the sheet of plywood was nice and flat, until i cut the shape i needed, then it turned into a potato chip, So after alot of spraying with water and weight, I got it good enough to lay it in the boat and get it into position.

PL'ed the edges of the floor to the hull, filled with peanut butter and 1708'ed to the hull.

Glimpse into the front seat bases and how much larger I'm making the storage in them.
some where in there i covered the floor in chop strand and pour foamed the outside of the stringers.

PL'ed all spots between wood and hull, tabbed it all in with 1708.

Then decided to grab the cushions for the front and see how there going to look. The offset color up front goes with the engine cover in the back. (The wife and friends idea)

Great pics, thanks for sharing. You are making good progress! I can't believe you moved right in the middle of the project... that's courageous!

It was more like "Hey honey, I want to move so were putting our house up for sale this weekend." :facepalm: That was at the end of June, and our house sold the next day, we will be closing on the new house this weekend so in a few weeks I should be back to the getting her together.
