Sweet! Keep us posted, love reading about others projects.

Well I was able to glass in the transom area so that I can pour the arjay tomorrow. It's not the strongest but all I need it to do is hold the arjay for the time being. I'll go back and grid it down and lay some more glass down.

I was very impressed by the 1708 where I tabbed in the inner transom skin. That lamination is strong like an ox. I can just imagine how strong it's going to be once I pour the arjay then put knees to the stringers.

looks great!! only thing i think i would have done is put the knees in and poured the aray in them or around them to make solid mate with transom?? sounds good any way but what do i know. keep up the good work!!

That's a really good Idea MJ. I wish I would have done that. You would have been able to hang 1000 lbs off a bracket strong.

Today I had some time and I was able to pour the Arjay in the transom. It was really easy to work with and the ceramic particles are the same consistency as sand box sand. I did spill some in the bilge area but it cleaned up really well with acetone.

Man that's looking sweet!!!! Nice job Cterrebonne!!!! :clap:

Looking good.

thanks guys, hopefully I will be able to get some more work done this week. Like capping off the tops on the edges and stuff like that.

I did have a question for you guys. Why did wellcraft make the stringers shorter where it meets up with the transom? Is that for clearance issues?

Yes that was for clearance for the splash well, remember the floor sits on the stringers and the deck drains into the splash well which drains out the back at least on my 81.

That's true. I don't think I will be putting knees in for support. I'll just tie the stringers into the transom, that way I can have a completely flat splash well. That is pretty much what you did right?
