I fillet-ed most of the day . . . I got the ones done that can be done. There will be some more when I put the remaining pieces on.
I'm going to be traveling for the next 10 days or so. I might get a little bit done tomorrow AM, but that's about it for a while. I'll be glassing after...
I'm waiting for some Cabosil to arrive . . . Meanwhile I got a supply of frosting bags from the Admiral's stash.
In other news, I got the transom pretty much cleaned off.
.
I'm going to mark the cut-outs in the transom from tracing the openings in the extension pod (going to put the extension...
Who wouldda thunk, resin PB as a desert topping :ROFLMAO:
Anyway . . . I have been doing the really boring stuff . . . rounding corners, sanding, etc. Fillets come next.
I assume that with the PB and frosting bag, I should mix it in small batches, as it will tend to harden-up as I go.

Back on topic . . .
I've been toying with the idea of web holes in the 3 girder-like stringers in the extension pod.
This is what I came up with . . .

There is the one 'center stringer' and two 'engine aligned' stringers (one either side of the center stringer).
Since these stringers are...
I got the transom pieces cut . . . they are loosely attached for now, as are the planing surface pieces. It sort of looks like the 3D model ? :unsure:

I have to box in the chine strakes. In the 3D model I had them with no reverse chine. As built, I gave them a bit of lift. (arrows)
