Lots of work! You have been busy.
How did you make sure the core had good contact when laying it in the mold?

Lots of weight. I intended to vacuum bag after laying down putty, but the sides of the mold had a small leak. After it was cured I went back with a sounding mallet and found a few small spots where it did not bond. I drilled holes through the nida and injected thickened resin with milled fibers, took care if the few problem areas.

Cut out the stringers to make room for the core. Dry as a bone, and built like a brick outhouse!

What are you planning on using for the transom core? Are you doing a bolt on bracket?
