I think for the first step to the windscreen I am going to reassemble the frame for the windshield and make some templates off of that then start fitting to the boat later in the week. I can see the light at te end of the tunnel of fiberglassing! The windscreen is the last of it.

Fiberglassed the hull to the deck today, use 4 inch strips of 1708 and staggered the joints between layers. Thing feels rock solid! Really glad I did it. Also getting little things buttoned up on the engine and tranny before putting it back in the boat next week hopefully. Would like to hear her purr by October 1st.

Next step is to get the cabinets installed and start rerigging while prepping for paint.

Not sure what I want to do with paint yet. 3 options.

1. Base/clear -more expensive and don't have any experience laying down clear
2. Single stage with painted graphics- easier to paint and cheaper than base clear, but have little paint lines from taping off different colors
3. Single stage with vinyl graphics

Opinions?
