I saw where you had a solid piece on the second layer of 3/4. While here, what did you use to adhere the two layers of ply together? Also how did you get both layers of ply so level with one another? They look really good. I was thinking a belt sander after you laminated the ply but before your first layer of 1708.

I glued my plywood layers with thickend resin using a mixture of cabosil as your thickener. Make to peanut butter consistentsy. I troweled it on with 1/4 inch knotch trowel like the one you use for ceramic tile. I hotcoated my ply before glueing. I'm new at this stuff also I did a lot of research before starting. The guys on this forum are AWESOME!!! No question is a dumb one,ask all you can because that's how you learn. Don't feel like you have pull the sheets of ply together super tight, just kinda massage your clamps or allthread still it starts ozzing out. I also tapped on transom with a rubber mallet so it kinda seats the glue evenly with vibration. Let me know if ya need more pics because I have a lot that I did not post that might help you out
