Work coming along on the latest 8 ft tender and work on the speedboat hull repairs

The gunwales and rubbing strakes now fixed in place with copper nails as standard  with our tenders.


The hull is now staible now the gunwales and rubbing strakes are fitted and the rest of the fit out can continue once the seats are moulded and cut to shape.


Now we have to make and glass in the outboard pad on the inside of the transom and the gunwale and rubbing strake across the transom.


The seats are being moulded up and when cured they will released from their moulds and cut to the finished shape and then glassed in position and they will make up the tender's buoyancy tanks.


The transom and side of the speed boat's hull repairs are underway now we have got to the end of the rotten laminates. Just got to cut back the good area to fit the laminates to the correct length to regain the strength in the hull. 


The same work will be needed to be done on the side of the hull to regain the strength once again.
