[QUOTE="dearl, post: 436134, member: 1760"] Got a little time to work on the boat this weekend. Acid washed and primed the fuel tank/floor truss supports, Got most of the truss supports installed. This one piece requires over 100 - 3/16" pop rivets to install, I managed to get 40 installed last night before I ran out. I plan to pick up another batch and finish this tonight. Also started cleaning and primering the floor area between all the stringers. Once I finish this and pull and re-rivet the Keel plate, I can Gluvit all the seams, then move on to the transom build up. The transom will take some time, Its 1-3/4" thick and I plan to use 2 pieces of 3/4" ply with 2 pieces of .125 aluminum plate sandwiched between the 2. everything will be epoxy coated and covered with a layer of 6 oz. cloth. This should make for a bomb proof transom. Before Cleaning.....
