'78 GT-150
 
 


Thanks to Mark and a few others I got inspired to get back to work on my GT-150.  Last winter I tore it apart and replaced the transom.  It has been sitting since.  In the past couple of weeks I've made my laminated stringers and got them roughly cut to size.  I hope to have the bilge in this week, and everything glassed together next week.  Then I'll be putting the floor in.

That layout looks like it may be faily easy to glass in. I had to glass my stringers in with tank installed then remove tank to do the inside which added another day and it the tank got tight in there.
Your should be plenty strong and a clean job at that.

Easy?  Hopefully
Strong?  Hopefully
Clean?  No way.  LOL.  I always make a mess.

Is it ok to screw the pieces together with s.s. screws (using pilot holes) to help hold things in place for glassing?

Nice work Tim.  I always used screws and some nails from by finish nailer too!

Mines gonna be a lot like Glenns.  I'm going to have to glass the fuel tank in under the floor.  I'm hoping I don't make to big a mistake in that process.

Cool.  I'm glad I don't have to deal with a tank under the floor.

I used SS screws also, mostly for a 3rd hand.
