Beginning my 1987 Fisherman 20 Restoration

[Myfathersson]

Got the rest of the core pieces I'm going to focus on before winter knocked out today. The foredeck - which I decided to do out of 1/2" cut from the kraft paper templates I made last night:





I'll have to get another sheet of 1/2" ply for the tank cover panel and the two gunnel fishing pole covers this winter.

Then massaged all the wings and bulkheads for a perfect fit. Those pieces are down in the workshop now and ready to get their rounded over tops and the limber passageways glassed over:



Lesson learned on the stringers. I'll glass the top edge roundovers and then just carry my tabbing up the sides to overlap the edge of that skin. I'll tackle that evenings after work this week. With the sun being down by 8pm now, finally having tasks of a scale that I can do in the shop is nice.

Should be really easy to then cut the glass for the tabbing to have everything ready to go next weekend to tab in the bulkheads and glass the sole. It's time to start thinking about gel coat repair below the waterline, sanding and bottom painting - want to do that before I put her back on the trailer.
