In the mean time, I made progress on the "swell guard".
Here is a picture of the swell guard fresh out of the mold.
The other side.
Use some marine plywood to give it some structural support.
Added a layer of fiberglass. There are 2 drain holes from the cockpit that will drain onto this and drain out the back, so I need to waterproof this.
Dry fit in place. Fits nice and snug so I will be able to screw it from above from the stern cavity without any assistance!
I need more resin. I have been through 3- 5 gallon pales of resin so far! One more should do it. The boat supply store where I get the vinylester resin was closed today, so for the next couple of days I might start cutting out the port windows in the cockpit and possibly the ones in the hull.
I also am waiting for the dual engine control to come in so I can start fabricating the mold for the helm station. That should be the last major fabrication.
