Got the cap glassed onto the hull .I filleted the joint yesterday then put a layer of csm today. Sure aint going to sweat the bubbles under there!

Had some resin left over so made up a little pb and patched 4 holes in the deck.

also did some shaping on the transom cap..

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Yea those holes had some epoxy looken stuff smeared on em . I still have a few more to patch. They must have been for the fun n sun seats that were original . Wish I still had them to model new seat from.

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Me and my son did wrestle mania with the old O/B . I wanted to check the transom height. I hope I'm pretty close to where it needs to be. It looks like it still needs the angle to trim down some.Does this look close to right?

Hey Hollywood: Good looking work! Nice work w/ the seacast video. Nice job nailing the transom height. That motor will look good after a little attention from your new paint gun.

Looks like some has a new nickname... S.P. - loved the Seacast video - I've always heard about that stuff, but never seen it used. I am now sort of kicking myself for not using it on my curved transom that has been working me for the better part of the winter.

Keep video-ing your progress. The smurf brownies look awesome - what's next on the menu? You are doing great!!

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

Thanks for the vid, S.P. Makes pouring a seacast transom much less of a mystery...

And it looks like you nailed the engine to transom height, most excellent!

That Chrysler is gonna look nice all painted up on the finished MFG...

You guys are doing fantastic work, keep it up!

Have a great weekend!

Re: MFG rebuild getting started pics

I think the motor might be a smidge low but certainly well within the mounting-hole adjustability of the motor so you're good. Nice work.
