well.. The winter has come.. nothing other to do then some fiberglassing the bicentennial. still have alot to do but im taking my time sanding and it is coming out SWEET. i can't wait to see what the pvc board does compared to the wood. no more rotting!
Also my 16th birthday is coming up in a few months... hopefully by then i can find a windshield

Cant tell us its coming along good without pictures.

There ya go! couldnt find them Haha

The interior pics look like my viper did, I almost started to itch.

Keep on it and you will have one heck of a boat when you're done.

That pic that says "ready to be glassed" concerns me, because it's not. The pad seems to still have the old core material in it, and the rest still needs a lot more grinding.

Good catch, I missed that.

Are you talking about the picture with the windshield frame in the boat?
If not, Yes it still does need some more grinding i just put that there for the hell of it because i can get that done in an hour.
I haven't used a grinder once yet on the fiberglass for the Transom, i've just been using a hand sander. i'm scared it will come out knotched

No the one with the windshield off. You NEED to use a grinder to get the old stuff out. If you can tell where the old balsa blocks were you still need to grind more.

This is my vking, the white glass next to the round filter lid needed to come out too, it's dry glass.

I see what your talking about now, it's maybe because i sanded it close to a year ago and it has sat outside getting rained on and everything but i will be sure to get that grinded also. Thank you

Would there actually be a point in me doing that? because my stringers are good, no floor is going to be touching that part, i'm still gonna do it anyways but what would be the result if i were to leave it as it is
