One of my modifications was to reinforce the driver seat area and eliminate the foot well. I also eliminated the 'doghouse' and moved the bilge pump forward to the lower area. I also decided to paint the hull with epoxy garage paint although I think I will not use the flakes on the next one.

I had to roll the boat out, lift the motor with the chain falls, then roll here back in, to get the motor in. It fit pretty well.

One of the sweet tips I learned from this forum was to use frezer bags and label everything. This really helped when putting her back together.The 3M 5200 is some good stuff.

Motor alignment was easier than I thought.

Why so many air pockets? Where ever the fiberglass is white, there is no epoxy... When doing glass work, always use more than enough.... Hope it holds strong
^ now why you wanna go crash on this guys build like that . I mean are you a union fiberglass man ? It looks good and will deff hold stronger than mine http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/11/uqypehy2.jpg but then again I just painted poly everywhere anyways

You are really making me look bad I started months before you and am still barely half way done.
Great work I will incorporate some of your Ideas into my build. Why the PL adhesive I was going to use epoxy?
That's a clean job you have done! That pl adhesive is a mess I used it on mine but not sure I would use it again
