Finally starting CC Restoration

Thanks for the download offer, I may take you up on that when i find one.
From your other post, might do a t-top next year after the deck is repaired and I see how the boat rides. I haven't run this boat since I got it so I'm not sure if I'm goin to need a t-top. I also have a Wellcraft 250 Coastal for nasty days and family trips. so probably not going to much on the v20 for a top. both boats have gunnel mount outriggers and the v20 will have leaning post with rodholders.

Been making progress slowly but surely. Getting in the shop between everything else going on. I've put 9 layers of 1708 biaxial and will be putting 2 layers of mat on the outer transom. Been patching unneeded holes and stress cracks with leftover material. I'm hoping to spray gelcoat by the end of next week.

That's some good looking glass work. I'm glad to see you're still making progress.

thanks guys, I just hope I didnt add too much weight back there. Been keeping the shop at 80 for an hour after layingup and the resin has been setting up nice. I'm using a winter resin that stays thin and cures when temps are inconcistent.
I had deck drains thru the transom with check balls. Has anyone converted to side drains or modified to improve the previous setup. I'm powering with a 200 hpdi if I can find one.

I put my drains out the side. I used inline check valves that TH Marine makes. It works pretty good except about once a year I have to disassemble the check valves and clean out all the dog hair that gets in there and clogs it up. If you don't have a dog it will work pretty good.
