On Friday, I cutout and glassed the backside of the lower panels and forward deck front panel.
During the week I was able to get the interior upper side panels glued in place with PL Premium. With the long weekend I was able to make some serious progress. Once everything was flipped right side up again I set up a width guide on my jig saw and trimmed the gunnels to a consistent width all the way around leaving a small flat section in the bow to mount my trolling motor on.
just as you would do to the deck, only upside down. These were bonded to the underside of the cap with thickened resin, filleted, and tabbed to the sides of the hull. I wrapped these pieces in CSM to waterproof them just like you would a stringer. Next I made pieces of 1/2 inch ply that would fit around the perimeter of the cap and form the new nose shape. All that I was left with was a flat section of the cap about 6" wide around the perimeter of the hull. Mine was only made of fiberglass with some cardboard tubes inside to give it some 3d shape for structural strength.

First I used a sawzall to remove the inner edge of the cap and the skin that formed the bow closed bow section. I reinforced the cap when I had the boat flipped upside down for the hull paint. I did get a PM asking for some more info on how I reinforced the cap, so here is some more info for everyone. hopefully in another week or two I'll be back to work on it. I've been really busy and haven't had time to get any work done on the boat. Sorry, but i don't have any new updates for everyone. Re: Project log : Runabout to Fishing machine
