Keep up the good work.

You are on point! I tried it today and its a no go. I'm going to run the teleflex and controls another route and just keep that Chase pipe for power and neg wires ,fuel and other wiring. I'm just not comfortable cutting my stringer out any more.

I noticed that pipe...was thinking instead of a single 90* elbow under the console, two 45s would make a much easier pull of it...I would think the steering cable would go thru that...

The transom end is 2 sweeps together to make a broad 90 degree angle.The other ened was just a hope and a prayer. It really not to big of a deal beacause I have a plan B to run teleflex and controls

Your work is great. I used a 4" chase but kept it inboard of the stringer, actually lays on top of the fuel tank in my center console.

Ridge thanks for the compliments. I thought about running the Chase down the middle but I had to end up running the teleflex outboard of the stringer sooner or later to get the bend to attach to motor. The way I'm running it now allows the teleflex and controls to kinda relax alittle better.

Well today was kind of a bittersweet day, all that work on those stringers just to cover them up with plywood!!!!LOL!!! The sole was glued down today and the motor rigging ran. I have it ran to were changing teleflex is gonna be a cinch if it needs to be replaced. All holes cut were sealed with thicken resin and the pvc pipes through the floor were glued in to make them permenent.

Unreal, you are moving at breakneck speed. Every bit looks great.
Have you any ideas on your gunnels/cap? I have an idea on a cap for the '74 I have sitting in the yard. Them were some pretty stringers.. LOL. Like buying gold jawelry and hitting it with a spray bomb.

She's coming along pretty good I've been busting my hump to get her done and ready for paint by spring. Im gonna band the innerliner and outer hull edge with 3/4 Acx,I'm gonna glue and thru bolt it like the factory does. I'm then gonna glue and screw a 3/4 inch Acx plywood gunwale and put a 3 1/2 inch return on the inside to incorporate the coming pads. I'm then gonna fabricate 6 gunwale ribs(3 on each side) and glue and glass to the floor,liner,and cap.All will then be tied together and glasses with 1708.
