Stem and Transom progress

Started working on the Stem and Transom tonight. Here is a pic of the 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood stem being laminated together with epoxy and then clamped.




I started notching out the frames for the Keel, they are not fully notched yet though and the keel still needs an inch cut off of width and a foot off of the length. It is just sitting on top freely until everything is fully notched and cut.



I laminated the Breasthook and started to build up the block for the stem/breasthook. It is just freely sitting there for the current time (not actually level and centered yet)



I epoxied the Transom frame to the Transom, it is currently clamped and waiting for the epoxy to set. I will probably add the motor board to it once the epoxy hardens.




Here is a picture showing how the breasthook and stem get notched together, there are 2 layers on the breasthook laminated together and the stem just slides into it. I will epoxy it once everything else is ready.
