tom...ill do you a favor by letting you give me that boat. you can thank me later. ;)
looks great.
do you have any pics of how you did the gunnel repair work? you cant even see where it was burned :o
great job as usual.
-
Re the gunnel ,Since I photo everything I'd be suprised if I don't (i'll check at the shop) I "dug it out (it was burned completly thru to the reinforcing plywood) the heat had melted all the resin away and all the was left was fuzzy shredded glass fibers. I reinforced it and with a "kitty" hair product then finished it with bondo and primer and a "close" rattle can yellow Tom
