also ground the glass around the transom, along the bottom and freeboard. i'm getting there. at least it looks like i have something done. 2 more good nights and i can start cutting wood.

Two more good nights of grinding glass? I didn't think there was such a thing.:eek:

Seriously, it's lookin' good. Keep up the good work and pics.

and a couple more. i ground all the glass from around stringers and transom down to the original lay up. if you look real close you can see where i left some unground fiberglass for a tab, about every 2 - 2 1/2'. for a bench mark to line up the new stringers.

:bump::rofl::rofl: i bet . Todd , are you thinking of having it ready for summer orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and what does Sheri think about the whole deal ?

artie i would love to get it done by summer. but 2 boat projects, work on the cottage and my hot rod. oh and don't forget sheri and the kids.
one of the kids just started crew at school. when i heard $2200 for a set of oaks, i was thinking props, seems like more bang for the buck.
so a short story long. cottage / cig 1st. hot rod 2nd and baron 3rd. but at least i'm making head way. by next summer for sure and maybe still this year.

update time from the slowski's. slow but sure. i have the transom broads cut out. just thinking on my next step to install them. also the interior is at the upholstery shop. kind of jumped the gun on that one. but i sold my mastercraft to the guy and that was part of the deal. cut some new side panels to make them longer for a better fit. there is a swatch laying on there almost the same color, a little lighter. he wanted to go new and total custom but i went old school. i'm thinking on changing to a left hand steer and put a console in the middle ??
