Since the last post:
The deck has gotten three coats of epoxy and is almost done. And very, very pretty.
I trimmed the bottom coamings and feathered the knee braces down to about a quarter of an inch. With the taper cutting through three or four laminations of the plywood it's really distinctive. That part of the coating has gotten a couple of coats of epoxy as well.
The hatches have been glassed and thoroughly covered in epoxy and are basically done.
I had been worried about smoothing out some of the glass at the stern especially since I was beginning to cut into glass rather than removing resin(BAD).
I changed my approach last night by tying the boat so that the stern was horizontal or nearly so and brushed a coat of epoxy over the area I was worried about to fill the low spots rather than remove the highs. Seems to be working even if it takes another couple of coats to kill it.
There is a bunch of sanding in my future to get the boat as smooth as possible before the last coat of resin and the varnish. Maybe more than a bunch. I'll have to check.
