Egeritty,
I thank You for your appreciation.
James,
To give you a bit of an explanation
My works here involve a ton of repairs and updates.
To work on my project can only be done after having cleared the deck of my quota of details.
Parts as in vintage are always sought year around. )
I will update more on the subject later.

And today saw me re bolting my transom plate and prepping for the addition of the jack-plate.
In addition to this work the last coat of epoxy was layed to the gunwales.
The handy propane torch was used to remove any and all air bubbles.

And for those of us that may have imagined that a jackplate can be just easily slapped on any given stern section, There is hope and relief in this update.
I will firstly discuss of the quality of this product here.The CMC Powerlift jack plate is extremely well built all aluminum pieces (5) and stainless bolts.

To disassemble the unit giving clearance to fasten the lower "blind holes" was needed.
The addition of this component was an essential step toward completion of this refit.

Took advantage of the good weather today and got the rubrail track sections installed to the hull sections.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1654
Stainless screws were used to permanently attach the track to the hull.
PLC Premium was used as a caulking agent to secure and insulate the cap's lip before installation.

And for those who care to hear about the endless work here on the refit.
Today was a day that did enjoy custom fitting of the stern section areas.
Hot heating gun,cut off saw,drills and impact wrenches,belt sander,and plenty of elbow grease made this day into pleasant and rewarding results by sundown.
This Lady is starting more and more to look like a centerfold subject.

At the risk of doubting of the interest in this refit..
And this due to the lack of comments.
Is there any of you still interested in this topic?

I'm interested in seeing how the old girl turns out! I have a 1975 Newport that I am working on as well--just stripped off the old black bottom paint and have begun applying custom-mixed tinted gel coat!! Managed to match the existing color of the bow area from the keel up to the old paint line which was quite different from the color from amidships aft to the transom! Batches were handled separately to accommodate the difference.
What's your next step?

The day yesterday was spent in;
Fastening the rub rail insert to the stern .
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1661
Picking up a tube of 3M 5200 quick dry and laying a seal on the upper rub rail junction to the gunwale.
Attaching the support brackets to the inner shelves
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1662
I was not totally displeased with the actual progression but was disappointed for having not be able to locate end caps for the rub rail finishing detail.
In preparation to install I did pause to study the fact that holes will have to be drilled to the front bow lip and bore through the newly resurfaced part in order to attach.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1663
This treasured part trusted into my ownership by CPT Jim of the Scrimshaw will finally find it's place and serve with pride.Thank You for your support..Always.

Serge - there were no end caps used by the factory on the Outrage 19's. Here is the original detail, simply fastened with a screw:
http://smg.photobucket.com/user/lgolt...3596070462
Why did you chose an all black rubrail system instead of the original off-white with red insert?

Larry,
Good to see that you didn't give up on me and my efforts.
The end caps is my way to dress up the end of the rubrail.
I am looking for a part similar in style to this OEM one.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showphot...hoto_id=31
A plain screw holding the insert somehow has fallen short for my taste.
The tracking and black insert were ordered directly from Chuck Bennet's directions.
The group order for the red and white came to be about a year later.
Kind of hard to justify the loss of some $600 for the one already here and go for another cost.
Anyway, I do like the classy black but would have ordered the red if available at the time.
Is there anything pleasant that has caught your eye?

And further more on the stern section subject.
Thanks for posting the appealing photo of your classic Larry.
What is the exact position of your Whaler logo?
Thanks as always.

As the World turn and in the inescapable truth that Time and Tide awaits for no man and so few Ladies..
To the preferred exceptions of our precious Classics Whaler hulls.
Plainly stated;
I was left undisturbed by static today.
Lost a bit of skin to the hands but managed to get some interesting details done.
The labeling of the hull was carefully done and I must say that I am not totally displeased with the final product.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1664
Capacity tags and labels were carefully affixed to the original designated areas.
The vent outlet emplacement was clearly designated with the correct label.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1665
I had to be mustering all my Magic to treat the new Whaler signs as a prospective new date on her first dance.
I am happy to say that we both feel just great after the concentrated effort.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1666
I do feel humbled standing back and admiring the final results of the concentrated efforts.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1667
As an intro to the next page,
I will say that the fitting of the bow light was an intense study.
More to come later.

Bow light has been fitted and collateral damage by drilling to the bow has been repaired.
I had to carefully drill@ a 45' angle to passage the way for the connecting wires to the front bow locker section.
I will again thank CPT Jim for having sent the well appreciated contribution for this refit.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1668
After all it can't always be about $,
That is what we try to do between Whaler Friends.
Thanks again for this essential part.
The bow bit was sent to the chrome shop and should be back soon to join the light who keeps asking me "Who has my back?".
More later.

The Bow Bit came back from the Victoria Plating Co today
The staff was courteous, and very efficient at giving me a reasonable quote for the rechoming job.
I will be pleased to replace the bow bit to it's original position.

Dodging the intermittent sprinkle while the geese were honking their way South;
I did take time to re drill and re bolt down the renewed bow bit today.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1709
I wish that all the preferred Ladies in my life were all so very patient.
In my efforts putting away the Summer furniture today,I did take inventory of my boating parts and may have solved the garnishing of the end of the rub rail sections.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1661
More on that later.
Now for a plug..
I had great results in using Mr Clean extra strength "Magic Eraser" to start sprucing up the deck surfaces.I could hardly believe how well the white little sponge pad did in removing grime and stains.
Seems like I may have been sucking the hind t.t on this detail
but plenty had to be cleared on deck lately.
I am sure that you will be enjoying of what will be coming next..

While doing some work on the roof today
I came to view My Classic from a very different vantage position.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1710
I this point I will invite your honest opinions of the results so far.
There is no such thing as "bad" criticism.
I will ask for your opinions and your take on the way the Classic does look and in your opinion should look like in it's soon to be completion.

And to specifically address the Polling subject,
"Polyester Gel or Epoxy Paint"
I am well aware of the two widely used resurfacing agents but may like to hear of your observed preferences.
The question today will be as to,
Why do you prefer Gel over Epoxy and vice versa.
Meanwhile,
Back on the project that is giving me tickles when surveying the results so far..
I have re installed the original wood rod holders and had to rely a bit more than screws in order to get a firm and permanent positioning.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1712
The ID metal tag was also re fastened to the Port side stern section.
Caulking material was carefully applied to the tag and screws on positioning.
http://www.whalercentral.com/showuser...to_id=1711
For those of you not totally bored to death by this refit may give their thoughts on the work personally done here on this Classic 19 Outrage 1975.

Minimum thickness for local Teak was one inch.
Had to settle for Mahogany for console top.
