Pretty busy day today. We started off by putting nice 1 inch filets on every bulkhead I have in the boat using resin thickened with cabosil. I'm not super neat, we try to be, so in the picture, that was after Harold sanded the filets a bit.



And then we went ahead and did two layers of 1708 to tie them to the floor. After this had dried, there was no movement whatsoever in the hull, there wasn't too much after the mini stringers, but this firmed everything up really nicely. We have 2 builheads glassed in and we ran out of glass, so tomorrow late in the day we are getting another roll in. We still have to build one more bulkhead on the table, and then there are some longitudal ones that we are going to put next to the motor and then a box up front under the floor to store things in, so more pics coming soon!




Also, somebody had a scale at the shop today, i thought the bulkheads weighed around 35 pounds each, but apparently they are just big and awkward, because the biggest one tipped the scale at 16.5 pounds. So 7 of those is probably a little more than 100 pounds, so this is working out to be very light and hopefully worth all the expensive materials!
