Put 2 smaller pieces of tabbing on each bull head. Let that dry came back in and used a oscillating cutter to cut out a 1/2 gap we’re bull head was sitting on the floor. Know it is a fully floating bull head I’ll use 3 layer of tabbing to fasten to hull and floor. That way when it flexes witch it will lol it won’t crack the any of the outside of e boat.

Few hours of filler and block sanding. Rolled one layer of gel coat on after that cures I’ll block sand and see if it needs any touch ups.

After filler and sanding I got a coat of gel on the under side of hatch. Not going to crazy with it. It’s way better than it was it’s pretty smooth.

Here is the thing when it comes to talent and capability I’ll look comes down to is how much time you wanna put into it and Research research I am not a professional at any of these things but through some research guidance and the whole Lotta patience you can do any of this some basic handtools a good air compressor and sometime you can do any of these tasks there is so much information online nowadays and once you learn the mix ratios with a cheap harbor freight scale your good to go. My buddy is working on his cafe in his driveway under a tent lol. He’s doing stringers and stuff .the biggest thing this project has taught me is patience. I have had things come up in life and work all through the build as we all do but I’ve learned not to hurry the project along. I work on when I have time and money. And slower it’s getting there. I have learned to not cut corners and eventually it will be done I encourage anyone to tackle projects if they have the desire and time!!!!!

After many a few rounds of block sanding 3 coats of get sprayed on then sanded completely smooth again I believe this one is done !!!! I have the step door complete as well. I’m starting the final body work on the last pod tomarrow them on to final fitment

are you leaving the matte finish or is it just lighting that it looks matte?

That’s the gel coat it’s al block sanded ready for primer and paint.

It may not look like a hole lot but after many hours in the cabin at this point I don’t even know how many all the glass work it done all new stringers and 3 fully surrounding bulk heads. The deck is so much stronger know when you walk on it . Stringers are 2 inches thick it really should be a wave crusher on Lake Erie. Going to put it all in white gel coat for know. Mabye next year out the bed in between the first and second bull head and some interior panels .

Started the process of making bad panel for door

Clamped a piece of angle on the door 2 inches in and air filed up to it. Ground down 2.5 layers so I can wrap the glass around from the back panel then complete body work

Looks good - is it ready for paint? What are you thinking in terms of paint? Colors and look?

So boat is going to be all white . Black logos all black cleats and hardware motets will be all blacked out. Black carbon gauges and trim rings. Just trying to decide if I want to go straight white or white Pearl/ from the 2018 Chevy pick up

I vote pearl....

I vote pearl!!! I also like carbon fiber dash panels - although may be a problem with the carbon gauges.
