hauled some a** workin on this thing today. grinding still.. makes a huge mess, but its a step closer. I bought 25 yards of fiberglass fabric, and a combined total of 7.5 gallons of resin and hardener. transom boards are all cut out also. I'm not gonna lie, I am nervous to start laying glass, because I am new to this kind of work. I only did it once before and it was less than perfect and a long time ago.. I WANT a grinding disk that works faster than the steel grinding disk ive been using. I know someone bought it for their build... I forgot what its called.
