Today was a good day. We popped the hull off the mold. It came off immediately -no problem....well, after I found that last screw holding it in place.
Then we cut the excess wood from the sides with a jigsaw and then fine tunned with a plane.
After sanding we began the process of filleting the inside of the hull.
Pic of Lonnie showing us how its done. He had some perfectly cut fillet spreaders for the job. We copied him and went right to it. Definitely a tiring job, especially in the bow and stern.
We laid in a special fillet blend then immediately glassed with 6", 4" and 2" tape along the bottom and just one layer of appropriate tape for the verticals. (Bow and Transom got all the layers)
With my Dad wetting out the tape and myself pulling the fillets it still took all day.
