Thanks guys Im glad this thread is helping others. This has been a big learning curve. At the start of this I had never worked with epoxy or carbon, just some non structural poly stuff making car audio parts. Everything so far has just been hand layups.
Trying to keep up with daily or at least...
Im really hoping that I will be on the water in june right when the temps are in the prime but I cant get distracted with anything else. If only a can get the tray glassed this weekend then its bodywork, a few mounts in the engine bay, paint and assembly!

JetManiac to the rescue again, two OEM drains on the way should be here by the weekend. If I can keep making headway throughout the week then I might be able to start glassing the tray Friday night.

And got this on the way from zimmy!

Didn't get much more done over the weekend, I was going to epoxy in all of the inserts for the tray area but I decided to hold off until I get a pump shoe. I am going to try using 1/4" socket caps to secure the shoe instead of the screws that were in here originally. If I can get the driveline...
Got the exhaust welded and mocked it up the rest of the way.
Also weighed the hull again to see where I'm at. Sitting at 80lbs but still need to glass the tray, bodywork and paint.
