Default Re: Transom Cap wont Fit

Did some strapping today on the hull. I got her lined up pretty well. Added in some support pieces, so I can attach both sections together. I got pretty damm tired of lifting that cap on and off all day. Must be at least 150 pounds. *>:(
Bad news: I think I do need to add a bit more to the transom. Maybe 1/2 of ply. *>:( That really sucks and puts me back. Thought about just adding in resin to fill the gap, but decided to do it right...I guess. :-/ I just hope that adding in another ply doesnt close the gap to much where the gunnels meat. ???



I was glad to find my comealong. Was stashed in with my dive gear. I used it on the China Wreck once. The hull was wrapped with iron strapping, I used teh comealong to pull away the iron strapping to go farther inside the hull, hoping to find more treasure. ;D


Just about got her where I want it.
