Got the sole glued down and glad that its over with. That is a mile marker on this build. To get it glued down I had to mix enough epoxy glue to do the whole job. The challenge was getting it spread in place before it kicked off. Then get the sole panels set in place and weighted down before it all kicked off. I think this cooler weather helped out. I love boat building when its in the 70's. High 70's but thats better then low 90's.
The pics suck as I think there was saw dust on the camera lens.

Now the deck can be glued down to seal it up.
I picked up a jet ski trailer with a 1500 caring capacity. Im thinking off extending it to make a custom trailer for her. Most of the regular boat trailers I've looked at are way to wide. The jet ski trailers are the perfect width, just need to be extended. Seen it done where the tongue was the only thing extended. But I'm going to extend the trailer arm's them self. That way I can have longer bunks. I think it will turn out better this way verses doing just the tongue. Priced a custom trailer and it came out to about $2000. But it was nice all aluminum, torsion axle, and for a custom fit thats not a bad price. But I picked the jetski trailer up for a couple hundred and with the metal it looks like $50 more. We will see stay tuned........
The inside of the compartment is finished and painted already. You can see the battery holder bolted to the inside deck, and just aft of the hatch that hole is for the fuel filler. Same process on its mounting holes. But about the finished compartment, you see in preparation for gluing the deck down I tapped off the compartment with paper to prevent epoxy/wood-flour mixture (glue) from getting all over everything in there with the squeeze out. But it found its way though in a couple spots anyway. So its going to be fun trying to sand it out and repaint it. 
Now the plan is to finish it by spring!!
