It is nice to get somewhere sometimes!!  I am now ready to flip the boat and tackle the bottom!

The transom is affixed, for better or worse.  I am still a little confused about epoxy on epoxy adhesion but I make sure to sand and wash with ammonia and water often before moving on.

 I finally figured out filleting.  Renn's description is fine and, with a little practice I seem to be making them ok.

I also primed the boat as there was just too much exposed wood for my liking.  I will touch it up and complete priming once I am done with the bottom.

 Here is a picture from the stern.

 I really like how the lines are working out!  She is a pretty one.  I won't be able to get back to her for a couple of weeks when my helper (bro) and I will attempt the flip. 

So, I have decided to go with epoxy and graphite for the bottom.  3 coats I presume.
