Current state of progress:
I have glued on and glassed over the tops of the seats. Used bits of scrap cloth on the middle seat so it looks a bit rough. I'll block it black and fair it out a little before paint.
After some consideration I left the rear compartment empty. It is well sealed, every seam has a fillet and fibreglass over it. At some stage I may drill a small ventilation hold and plug it, or install a sealed hatch.
I have taped over the rubrail with 400g biaxial tape. I went over with a round off router bit to give a curve for the tape to follow. With the tape, most of the inside surfaces have glass over them. The only unglassed places in the whole boat are the underside of seats, and the middle parts of the sides, between the seam and rubrail tape.
I glued on a backing block for the 2.5hp Mercury (Tohatsu) 2 stroke outboard. The transom at 9mm is strong enough as is, but I wanted the extra width. I will put some biaxial tape where the clamps bite next week.
I have ordered some West system 410 microlight for fairing.
Still to do:
Glue on small breast hooks (for railblaza rod holders) and oarlock holders
Block back and fair over some of the inside transitions.
Another sand and then fair over the exterior sides.
Roller coat of epoxy to seal.
Coat of International Precote and sand (I have 300 grit for this.)
Coat of International Toplac, and possibly sand?
Second coat of Toplac
Install the dinghy wheels (this is last so I can paint under the brackets, I will not be able to go over again once they are on there.
Splash.
