Transom, floors & seat base are all glassed back in. A little more glass work to be done around battery hold down & the "ears" of the transom now that the deck is fitted. Then it's ready for gel coat on the inside. Now it's time to tackle the underside of the deck, which has quite the sag.
Cheers
Bill

Also called tooling resin. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
