Well . . . I thought I'd post some pics of my latest fiberglass project . . . well the first fiberglass (and maybe the last) project to come out of my garage. I did all the glass work and then John took it home and did an amazing job fairing, sanding, painting. I'm really pleased to see how well it came out.

It's not mine . . . it's a friends 23 seacraft. We made a trade bracket for a old boat (22 seawolf WA).

Total weight is about 150 - 175lbs . . . It tooks 15 gallons of iso polyester resin, 40 yards of 1708 and one sheet of 3/4" marine ply for stringers , transom, and to core the swim platform.

Great job, absolutely wonderful!!
