Mr SR4 project -update

Just thought I'd post an update on my SR4, I haven’t been able to commit much time to this
rib this year due to various reasons, I bought it blind really early Jan this year, I bought it online via a crappy photo from
a guy, He assured me it held air, and it does!! - sadly the he failed to mention the transom was
shot to bits and the floor was so rotten, never seen one so bad in fact, anyway here’s a few pics of
the rebuild so far and I’m very happy with how it’s going, structurally a new boat, much stronger 12mm marine ply
deck and transom, and thicker layout than standard, it had its second coat of flow coat last night, its getting to that rewarding stage now after a lot of hard work!!
