Thanks Greg, the hardest part of pulling the cap for me was getting the balance point right. Took a block and tackle, and three come-alongs.
I do most of the work myself, do I was able to con my pops over tonight to get the first transom core board in. Didn’t take that long at all.
Coated both the hull and the plywood with regular catalyzed resin, let the tack up. Took about 15 mins then mixed up a lot of thickened resin spread it out with a 1/4 inch trowel and bolted it to on. We got a really good amount squeeze out the sides so I’m sure there are no air pockets. Used what squeezed out to fill the gap around the ply and the hull.
We are going to let it sit over night then repeat tomorrow. I’ll let it cure for 3-4 days after and start on the stringers.
