Deck is all glassed in. I put a coat of bed liner on the back half of the deck. All I need now is two livewell pumps and I'm ready to re-install the top cap.

on your stringers did you cut the old glass all the way down to the hull or did you leave some of the old glass to set the new stringers in and thenjust glass over? I am asking because I had a question about doing it that way once and I was told not to.
I left a little ridge so I would know where to set the new stringers. I made a filler so I would not have to glass over a 90* angle.
Got my deck cap back on. I have to trim the top of the transom a bit to the the cap to sit right.

It's coming along good. Can't wait to see the finished product. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
looks like your transom wood is to tall?
Yes, the transom is too tall! I made it taller than the original, because there was a good size gap between the deck cap and transom. I just got it too tall. I'll get the belt sander out and go to town. I think it only needs to come down about 3/8'', maybe a bit more.

no wonder why your restoration has gone so fast, you're a block away from Cabelas, and your inspiration to get on the lake is grapevine right next door! dam you!, good job man, post update on the splash.
Really nice work. Look forward to seeing more pics!

Notice the pontoon on my tail. Also notice the tow rope. My buddy trailed me to make sure everything went okay, and he blew up his lower unit.

DONE!
it came out great! How does the 75 push the boat? What is the boat rated for, 90hp?
lookin good, just in time for some summer fun.. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif .. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/embeer.gif
Since the speedo didn't work, I don't know how fast we were going, but yes, the 75 did fine. And yes, it is rated for up to a 90.
