Transom step mods

Earlier (last year) I had cut some steps into the transoms to help boarding at low docks.

Before (fresh biax glued on sheer line from barge damage in 1994):



After:






So I've been working inside before the shop gets too hot - in the cramped little space reinforcing the joints with roving and coving. Not fun, especially on an older body. Feeling lots of little aches from twisting my neck around, sitting on my legs, and reaching into nearly inaccessible areas. Feels good, though, to get that done. Next step will be cleaning it up and painting. Also adding a kickup rudder line tube (to hold rudder cassette down).
