[QUOTE="Country Dave, post: 292890, member: 10344"] Hello everyone, Marry Christmas. Well the hustle bustle of the holiday season has not afforded me much of an opportunity to work on my project. However with that being said I did find a little time and therefore, I’ve made a little progress. The JB weld that I applied to the pitted area of the inside panel of the transom was sanded down. For anyone who doesn’t think that stuff is tuff, try and hand sand it after it’s been curing in the florida sun for a week. :lol: I had to do exactly that. There were some spots I couldn’t get two with my grinder/sander so I had to block sand them by hand. ](*,) I also got all three of my front hatches cut out and most of the foam removed. One in the center front of the forward bulkhead were the front deck starts, that’s where the trolling motor battery is going to go. The other two on top of the front deck as far back and to the side as they could go. I forgot to snap pics of that. Next update. I was also able to get my wood cut, bonded and fitted. I will seal the wood core up in epoxy resin as soon as I get a chance. I used two pieces of ¾ in 5 ply hardwood and bonded them together. It’s going to be a full transom not like the ¾ that came out.
