Nice work. I really like the curve you've done on the top of the transom. I think that looks a lot more elegant than a flat top transom. Isn't it amazing how many holes can get drilled in a boat over the years?

Thanks man. My 23' had the flat transom, but like you said the curve gives it some more style. Yeah I figured as soon as I would use the boat a couple times at least one of them holes would pop out through the paint. So I just drilled them all out and start from scratch.

Got the transom glassed in tonight. Next week I will unscrew it, sand it down and then finish glassing the inside and outside.
My dad came over this afternoon while I was at work and started cutting the cross members the floor will mount to. 2x6's ripped down to 2x4's. They of course will be glassed fully and then glassed and glued to the stringer and hull.

Put some knees in for the transom, and the rigging pipe. The knees will be glassed to the stringers and floor and will replace the stringers that I cut out. The knees will be notched out so the back 2x4 will sit inside of it flush with the top. I am going to build a box in the corner to run my rigging up and my bilge pump hoses.

Got the rest of the bulkheads in and the knees notched out. I will glass the floor supports tomorrow and glass the inside of the transom.

Glassed the transom tonight.

[Seacraft84]

Glassed the backside of the transom and the floor supports.

[Seacraft84]

All the floor supports are glassed. Rigging tube has had final cuts. The knees for the transom have been cabosiled in. I just need to grind it down and wrap it all in glass. The fuel tank is in. It is a 50gal plastic Inca. The pickup and sending unit will be under the console. I will just need one plate to access the fill and vent up front. The box behind the tank will be for my life jackets. I will have a hatch under the console as well. Now all I need to do is grind where everything is going and glass it all in. Also finished putting some fairing compound on the bottom of the hull and transom.

[Seacraft84]

The floor supports are now glassed in. I will get the knees and the last support glassed up tomorrow night and then start cutting the floor out. And yes the tank is leaning some. It just needs to be center up and the blocks glassed into the side of it.

RE: Inca plastic thank

Did you buy the tank directly from INCA. I called them a few months ago and was told they only sell to OEM's. It looks just like the Moeller tank.
