No progress, but I decided to try and purchase more 2" board to make the knees and stringers. I thought it would be easy to get a couple more sheets, but not the case. I waited until last week when they ran a large order of 2" hoping they would have a couple rejects, but they did not. So...I'm going to just buy the 2 sheets at retail price and be done with it.
Also, the temps have been out of control in my garage. The outside temp most weekends has been in the high 80's and 90's. The last time I tried at those temps, the pot life was so short it was scary. Plus, there's plenty to do in the summer...I need the project in winter.

Now let's get this project cranked back up!!
Once the boat arrives I'll start another restoration thread and probably borrow the pictures from here to continue the rebuild. My plan is to finish the resto, with new interior from Checkmate, paint or gelcoat and at least a 250hp hanging off the back.
We have a lot of boats changing hands here recently- Two resto projects heading southeast... Perhaps on one truck?
I don't mind, it's thearpy for me since I sit behind a computer 10 hrs a day. A friend of mine likes to buy houses gut and rebuild/upgrade them, I'm kind of the same way with boats.
