Its been a while but I finally started to work on the boat again. Yesterday I spent well over 2 hours grinding fiberglass. Not exactly fun. Today I made cardboard templates of the new bulkheads then transferred them to 3/4 plywood. I also cut a 2" dia PVC pipe in half and laid it in for bilge drainage. Hopefully tomorrow I will be applying fiberglass.

thanks guys. I still have a long way to go. So far its going pretty good. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to set up the fishbox. That should start going together next week. I'm going to try to get the other two bulkheads up today.

thanks nymack. I could of used some help yesterday. I glassed in the other two bulkheads. They were a little harder because they are below the floor that is still attached to the boat. When in place there is only 3/4" clearance between them. The way I apply fiberglass is I put the cloth on a piece of cardboard,completely wet it with resin. Then pull it off the cardboard and put it in place on the boat. It was pretty challenging pulling this giant sheet of wet woven roving through a 3/4" slot but I did it. It turned out pretty good,so far. My wife has to work till 3 today so I have some time to kill. Maybe I can get some more done today.
