I see new coring going in. Is that in the hull? I was under the assumption that all straight bottom guns were solid glass hulls.. I know the twin steps were cored but wasnt sure about the straight bottoms..

Tabbed I’m lower side then mixed up thicken resin with fibers and let it settle in to fill any voids let that dry and on to tabbing other side and start wrapping with glass!!!

While all that was drying with some help of a good friend got a string line set in the cabin and got a one cabin stringer made. We ran a string line level then measure every foot and transferred that to the board. The main stringers will be 2 layers on 1/2 ply laminated with 2 layers of 1708. I will then wrap them 3 times in the boat should make for about a 1 1/2 wide stringer. It was only a 3/4 ply stringer from factory that should help make it stronger !!

I build them on the ground and glass them together and then after they dry clean all the edges it is easier than trying to build it in the boat but man some 20 foot long sheets of ply would be really nice lol !!!!
