Re: Cvincent's PH18
The system 3 primer is very easy to work with. It has a nice high build, cleans up with water, sands easily, and is very tough when cured. Thanks

Re: Cvincent's PH18
This afternoon I had several friends over and we managed to get the boat turned over. We rolled the boat over in the yard and manhandled her back onto the jig. I fastened all of the bulkheads to the side panels with drywall screws at the level of the rubrail. I kept all of the stringers and bulkheads in place for the roll because I was afraid the hull would distort on the roll. Everything looks good, now the fun starts on the interior. I am having trouble posting pictures after the latest update.

Re: Cvincent's PH18
Nice clean work ! Are you going to put "pillars" in between the inner and outer layers of glass where the engine bolts go through ? This was recommended for my build. Mine is all composite, transom is 2 x 1" PRX 300 with the recommended 4 layers 12 Oz biax each side, to of them are 1208, and they alternate 45/45 and 0/90. I had some 1708 left over so that was used instead of the 1208 to beef it up a little.
It will be nice to follow your thread, cheers.

Re: Cvincent's PH18
Hello MarkOrge,
Are the pillars inserts of a higher density foam where the bolts go through the transom? The aquaplas foam has a 30# density, so I was planning to use an aluminum backing plate on the inside prevent the bolts from digging in and to spread the load on the inside of the transom? I have additional foam, I was thinking about adding additional thickness on the interior where the transom bolts go through.

I am also planning to use a transom plate over and beyond the beefed-up transom for the same reason/s relating to the motor bolts.

Re: Cvincent's PH18
LGF I look forward to watching your build progress, once you are able to get started. I am using 5 layers of 12oz biaxial alternating with 5 layers of 10 oz weave cloth for a total of 110oz on both sides. The weave provides the 0/90 glass required. This is my first experiment with foam for a transom.
