Stupid question, have you replaced the bow eye yet? I have yet to own an old boat that did not eventually need one. Plus that will bug the crap out of you being the only hardware that wasn't replaced....

![]() Here she is all glassed up with a single layer of 1708. If you look closely at the opening on the console you will see a 3/4 ply band that that wraps the opening I did this to create shear strength in the console for the purpose of the t-top getting bolted to it. The console orginally was just a mold and really had no horizontal strength. I'm also gonna glass a piece of 3/4 ply 12"x16" to mount fuse panels and battery switches and other electrical knick knacks |

Coming along nicely!
I always make a point to wipe off the dripping resin with a rag with some solvent on it. Makes it a lot easier than sanding it off.

Kracker, I say get your console exactly where you want it then glass it down. If properly done, you will have a much more solid connection. Less vibration too. I am glassing the cap to my hull when it goes back together for these reasons.
