Yep, still do. Takes some patience and practice but works fine. Tell ya the truth I have always liked a nice balanced laminate on the heavy side as uposed to a bagged out thin layup. Everything has it's place but I like some "heft" to my ride


Looks like ya got some fun stuff to play with there.

Sunday, ran out of time but hope to have glass going in tomm. Here is a few progress shots from today along with the transom I laminated yesterday.

How thick are you going to make your transom and what power are you going with ? I doulbled the thickness on my 32 Skater and made a mold to lay-up a motorwell as my 1988 32 Skater never had one . Keep up the work and I feel your pain

WOW! That looks great man!

Looks good , plenty thick and I'd install a couple of gussets .
Why two layers of balsa over tunnel ?

OMG !!!

Why did I click on this thread ???

I am going to have nightmares for weeks !!!




WOW George !!!

I had no idea you had this project going on !

Coming along great !

Keep up the good work ...

Here is an old pic of the Apollo II that I used to race...

Hey Sharkey - is that the old "Docksider?" If so it always busted holes in itself!

I don't recall if it was ...

If I recall correctly, "Docksider" later became "Insanity". I think "Apollo" was different boat.

just a little o2,,before you start laying up the transom you will want to reinforce the outside of it,the heat from the resin may make it all waive,don't clamp directly to the transom,cut 2 1'' pieces of plywood and clamp the inner ply to the outer ply so it stays straight..
