well worked on this baby all weekend...
rub rails polished, helps when you know what yer doing
i'll be ready next time
gas filler and vent installed
top mated to bottom and screwed together
, now that was quite a job
i used foam tape made to seal toppers, and lubed it and the top with KY... of all things
glassed in the splash well, 3 layers of biax
i have 2 questions here
1 is 3 layers enough ?, the original cap had about 1/4" of layered glass plus filler.
2 is it acceptable to use plastic body filler to feather in the new glass (this boat is painted) , or do i need to use dura glass or something like that ?
i wanted to get the dash drilled out to fit the new gauges, figured i should install the helm and wheel...
it had a mores rack but the cable was vary stiff, cant get them apart to lube (guess yer not spose t do that anyways)
so at the risk of mock and ridicule i fess up, i had a teleflex rotary helm with a 16' cable from one of the V8 donors so i ran the cable in from the other side and have a loop under the bow. i kno, but im running out of money here so save $120 for now.
