 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.

Sounds like a idea, but were is the gas tank, and other stuff?? If need to get down in that area you will have a B***h of a time if its glassed down! How about weight distribution? Are you sure ts going were its going?? If you need to move it forward or back to get the boat level in the water, its going to be easy to adjust before mounting. But if all is well, and clear then go for it, like stated it will be nice, and stable.

There would be no reason I would have to move it after glassed in. I just want it to be solid and also less holes to drill in the floor. And it would also Carry my t-top a little better.
And also a guy on another website made the comment that the t-top is not good enough for the boat anymore due to all the work I've done to the boat.? I don't quite understand his comment.

Maybe he just means you should have a nice new custom made one to show off, cause the boat will be all new!!
Are you sure on the location as far as weight distribution on the boat? To far forward or back will make a huge difference!! Lots has been changed on that boat (for the better) to change the weight already, so just be sure!
