Hull near completion

After almost a good 12 months off due to home renovations, I've managed to clean up the little space I have around the boat and continue building.

Taking off from where I left it, the hull had been sanded fair and paint purchased with my next step beginning to apply primer, but, after I noticed I had sanded through to glass fibre in a few small spots where the joining tape had been laid, I thought it was best I roll on a few more coats of Epoxy to ensure the base is thick enough.

While sanding back the hull, to break the monotony I have started finishing off the back of the Jet pump cover that hangs out past the Transom. HD foam has been used to fill the sides and top, I have profiled the foam so that it matched the shape of the inside, it will then be Epoxied and glassed into place in the coming days.
