Is that an actual berth? My favorite “sleep inside” place is a pilots berth that is a bit smaller than that one. Nice and cozy. Open the rear dorade for a nice breeze of close it to stay nice and toasty. Pair it a nearly white gray (do not do white!) and put 3 diffused LEDs at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 with dpdt switches at each end. You’ll have a hard time keeping people out of it.

Got butt blocks made up and all clamped together. Transom cut out and test fitted and will be clamped tomorrow. Hull back blocked up in the shop. Good progress. Hoping to continue with some momentum

More progress pics. Got transom area ground out and ready. Both 3/4” transom pieces are shaped and glued/curing. Ran around the lobby and managed to salvage my fast cure thickened batch from gluing to fill the copious screw/bolt holes and other thru-hulls that needed attention.

Very nice. I am sure it is nice to be building and not tearing out for a change,.

Your bond surface for the transom looks like some old rotten wood. That is no good. All must be gone or the bond can shear, well, old wood can shear, that is.

Everything else is looking great.

When you pack the transom, the wood should be precoated with clear epoxy and bedded into some brownie batter consistency thickened epoxy. Usually, you clamp and bolt hole it for some pull.

Thanks for the tips! The transom your seeing I believe is just a discrepancy between dried out old CSM mat and a hair bit left of polyester. I did a bit more sanding to get it fair and wood free (to the skin) after that picture.

Is it recommended to have my peanut butter batch of thickened epoxy on the hull skin? Planning on drilling out my drain plug and putting a wax coated bolt with washer for my pull down. Being careful of course to only walk on the blocked part of the hull to avoid the flexiness she has currently. Will pre coat my transom and work that wet on wet

It’s a nice change!! Gonna feel weird putting stuff back in for sure.

And thanks Jeff! No pro for sure but ambitious and willing to work hard to make it right.
