A Little Progress

Well, a little progress has been made as of late. The saildrive leg has been removed and the old exhaust system is no more. I ground the hole in the transom that the exhaust went through for glassing but had to wait on my epoxy from Duckworks.com. Now I have the epoxy, but I don't have enough glass. So, I need to make a trip down to the marina to get glass cloth, and rubbing compound. I also began scraping the hull, a messy job to be sure. It took four hours to scrape from the transom forward 4 feet. I'll be looking into bottom paint stripper when I'm at the marina as well. Although, part of me just wants to keep going with hand scraping and forgo the extra cost of stripper so that I can say, "Yeah, I'm blue, but it didn't cost me a thing"
Anyways, that's coming along.
I also put a coat of epoxy on one side of my hatchboards. I will probably be coating the other half tonight before bed and then doing touch-ups and varnishing later. I will eventually install a deadbolt latch to the top board and hatch for security.
Well, I think that's about it for now. Pictures and further progress will be coming soon!
