What was your final layer up schedule?

Nice job!
My body requires ibuprofen today! Thanks for the compliment. Final schedule is 2 layers of 17oz biax tabbed 10" onto the hull, with a layer of 1708 biax 38" wide down the keel which rolls up just to the top of the fillets. Original lamination was 0.0823" thick on the 24oz roving, my two layers yielded 0.0878" so it's at least as stout as what Wellcraft laid in there 32 years ago. The bulkheads down the keel will get the same treatment of 2 layers of 17oz, the side wings I only plan on a single layer.

Still need to order the fuel tank, figure out how I'm going to secure it, and decide if I'm replacing the foam or not. Might grab a dry chunk and figure out exactly what density it was to help calm my concerns that it might have had some structural value.
