Transom Doubler #2 Installed; Hull Sides Cut Out and Scarfs Cut

Today, the second transom doubler (or tripler) was sanded to match the shape of the installed doubler and then epoxied to the 1st doubler to make the transom 1 3/4" thick on the area that the outboard motor will attach to.

I also laid out the hull sides, cut them out, and cut the scarfs on each piece. A 2" scarf was used since it is 1/4" plywood. I am not too happy with the way there was some ripout along the edges, but I will use some thickened epoxy to fill those areas as well as some of the interior side knot holes. I hope to epoxy them up tomorrow.
