Full fiberglass,  the area you sit down on is the sandwiched with 1/2 plywood on the inside and the bottom so there is place to staple the vinyl to.

Boat is finally gutted.

Started removing the tramsom cut around the outside to remove the fiberglass.

Tramsom was complete mush dug the wood out by hand total time to remove 30minutes.

Can't tell from the photo, but did your Timi have the hard grey filler between the hull glass and the transom wood?  Looks like your making good progress.

Make's it much easier when it's mush !

Making good progress.  Somewhat surprised you didn't go the composite route.  Planning to have it ready for August meet?

Mike nope not going to ready for the August meet this year, but next year will be a the year for the timi's. 

Thought about the composite route but it lasted 34 yrs from the production line. Will do a much better job sealing everything.  it,should,last my life time and then some.

Sanded the back area in between the strakes and added 6 layers of 1808 biax.
 
Going to grind out the hook on the bottom in between the strakes.

You're moving right along. Nice work with beautiful craftsmanship. It seems my work comes close to duplicating the factory fit and finish.
