Almost completely stripped, the floor and foam are removed to the bow eye.
Next week it goes onto the cradle to get the stringers cut out. and of course i cant figure how to attach pictures. Need some dimensions and an opinion. 1. Rear seat bench bottom box location and height. as in how far from either the transom or the glass panel is the front of the rear bench. 2. Opinions on battery location, id like to build a split rear bench with the battery in the middle. It would be just off the hull bottom between the shaft log and strut. That area would be used as a step to get on/off the swim platform. I also have a cracked windshield port side if you guys can point me to source for that. Thank you |

You should probably have him measure the windshield and you'll find out that his Tique has a skinnier windshield than your SN does Unless he has an SN windshield hanging around What are you trying to post pictures from? Phone. Ipad, laptop/PC |

Keno thank you,
I have a galaxy tablet that i either use to take pictures or another camera with a micro sd then inserted into the tablet. On another site for different type of boats i have 100 or so pics of that rebuild posted so i am 99 percent certain the image size is not a problem. The picture icons here on correctcraft either ask for a http and the other icon turns on the tablet camera. Thank you |

I'm not sure if the link will help with posting photos but click on it and there's another link a handful of posts from the end of the thread. Read both links
It might help Look for a post by Bri892001. I don't know squat about Ipads and tablets but his info seems to have worked. link |

Update:
The boat is off the trailer and blocked up on a combo cradle and jacks. 9 in all at 3 stations: transom, 5 1/2 ft, 11 ft. There is also 3 water levels on the boat and it is nice and sqaure. Marine ply, vynil-ester 700 resin and 1708 biax material are all here. The only piece of dry wood (mostly dry, some staining) on this boat was the at the rudder port, i cut it out because the wood directly above it for the stern lifting eye has been dripping water right till today, it came off in one piece. There are alot of pictures that will be posted hopefully in a few weeks. |

Epoxy is generally favored for its ease of use and superior strength. It’s mixed at~3:1 (epoxy:hardener) and fairly tolerant of imperfect mixes. Low odor also.
I have found vinyl and poly to be quite a bit trickier... they catalyze with a ~2% addition of catalyst- so a very precise measurement and thorough mixing required. I’ve had some batches take days to set up due to an imperfect mix or ambient conditions. PITA. Also very high odor. Would highly recommend epoxy for most uses, especially a beginner at fiberglass work. |

+1 on epoxy. It also plays well with CPES coated wood

Im looking for plastic--- CorrectCraft ----nameplates that go on the sides of the boat at the transom.
Taylor can't help with windshield, & i can't find reliable source for glass or rubber. And for a laugh, i'm having trouble logging in again, had to request a password and still have enter the super secret security image. Started work on the trailer, new axel ordered. minor cosmetic left on the boat which i suck at but it's that much closer to rigging which i don't suck at
