Here is the completely fiberglassed and clear coated outer hull with the keel attached.

Here the keel is being added by fitting it and epoxying it to the keel strip. Later it will be reinforced with fiberglass, epoxy, varnish, & a brass keel strip.

Here's a picture of the outer hull after a base coat of epoxy, fiberglass, and two clear coats. Later in the process we will add one more coat of epoxy and a UV inhibitor varnish to increase the glossiness and protect the color from UV.

This is the side of the boat with all of the fiberglass soaked into the epoxy mix. Now we wait for it to cure so we can clear coat the hull.

Here Jerry and Richard are putting the resin into the fiberglass to make it adhere to the boat.

Here we are laying out the fiberglass over the hull to begin the fiberglassing process.

Here's the completed base coat prior to adding fiberglass. Really shows the color of the boat when we are done.

Here's Jerry adding the epoxy base coat to the outer hull of the boat.

Here we are test fitting the keel on the boat prior to the beginning of the fiberglass project.

After the stem is fixed in place you bevel the stem with a hand plane to a nice "V" shape so it cuts water.

After epoxying the stem to the hull you screw it down temporarily to apply pressure to joint so the epoxy cures.

Here's Jerry epoxying the stem to the hull of the boat.
