Default grinding away

Started playing with the liner, little modification to marry up to the transom
Stringers had 1/8 to 1/2 inch gaps filled with goop before we pulled the liner.
Workmanship in the hull looks like it was started on a Monday and finished Friday afternoon. liner was a different team ! Set our forms on the stringers with the liner in, put in temporary now till the next batch of seacast arrives
encasing the rod compartments in glass too

Default update

A lot going on and not much time to post
Got the stringers done to height after putting the liner in for measurements, back off last night and hull moved into glass bays for capping off the stringers today
Have decided to rework the liner too since were in this deep, pulling all hardware off it, new bulkheads and more.
Restoring original teak.

Default date part two

Did a test area of bringing back the original gelcoat. first pass on the gelcoat with 400 in the picture, will most likely go to 800, then 1200 and then to 1500 (or more) if needed. The 400 seems to bring the color back about 80%.
Nice thing is they were not bashful with the gelcoat back in 81, pretty thick

Had her in for a fitting and sizing Sunday
Working the oxidation off on the hull and think paint job on the liner might be in order

Boys are cranking away on her I'm doing the initial sanding above the waterline till I get down to 800 then Ill let them at it. below waterline for now for them.
Had to pull them off the wellcraft to do the bottom and buff the hull on the big boat to get it in, They banged it out in an afternoon.
12:30 am think ill head home now lol getting to be a habit
