New Transom Knee

Between the weather, school, and spring cleaning it's been a while since I have had time to work on the boat. Yesterday though I did have time to cut a new transom knee out, as the one I had made last summer didn't have the right angle to fit tight against the transom. I was also able to install the carriage bolts from the stem to the keel and do some fairing in the spaces where the battens crossed over the frames. Since the weather looks promising for all this week I will be attaching the new transom knee tonight and hoping to get the chines on tomorrow; we'll see though. Below is a picture comparing the new transom knee to the older one. The new transom knee is the much wider one (I need to trim a bit off still), though I will be using the bad one as extra support after I re-cut it to the right angle. By the way, I just saw my finger was in the way of the picture so that's the cause of the blurriness on the left side of the picture.
