Rebuild Repower

[Slightly_Twisted]

The mold itself took almost three weeks to build, the third attempt is the one that worked. I tried the two different way to prevent having to drill holes in the hull, it didn’t work. Daytrip1 from a few different boards has done two, and I copied his first build.

It work perfectly! Once I got the Mold correct I put 3 layers of PVA on it and started the layer up. I was shooting for 1/4 inch of thickness, so I figured that 7 layers of 1708 would match the hull. All the layers werehot coated and each layer was rotated 45 degrees of each other to and strength. After an 8 hours and 5 gallons resin I ended up with about 7/16 think glass! All sides of the bracket are close in thickness with the corners getting extra layers. On to the clamping board coring. This was SO easy without the curve of the transom to fight with. Used thickened resin to glue and screw three 3/4 marine plywood over night, then glued and clamped it in the bracket.
