Nice work Joe. I wish I knew how to glass.

Almost ready for barrier coat and paint on transom. Will wait to do the rest of the hull bottom for applying paint, but will work on barrier coat soon.

Epoxy with filler worked quite nice and sanded very well as a fairing coat.

Keeping a good eye out for a bracket preferably with a platform for this puppy.

Bet a 24 pack with my cousin that it will be in the water by Nov. 1st. Gonna be very tough but worse case I'll be drinking a 24 pack with him. LOL

Wohhh. Sticker shock!

Actually looking for a used one. The guys at Stainless Marine are local and make a heck of a platform, but hopefully in the next month or so I run across a decent priced used unit.

Speaking of Stainless Marine being local...and beer...sometimes a factory reject is only cosmetic...you might take some cold beer, make a friend at the factory and tell him to be on the lookout for a deal...

Got the bracket!

Found a local witha an excellent bracket for a good price.

Will need to shim it much like macojoe did, but seems simple enough. Will need to do some reading on calculating the correct position on the transom for the bracket.
