Last week I fiberglassed fiberglassed the rub rails and reinforced the transom corners with fiberglass tape.

Today, I began cutting out the bench seats and engine support for the transom. I still need to trim them to size a bit, and notch out the bottoms so they clear the chine rail and sit flush with the floor. 

I modified the plans a bit. I will be deleting the shelf seen in the plans as I don't need a dash since I am using tiller steering. This will add a little leg room. I am building a box in the front which will eventually be foam filled, as will the rear corners of the transom.
