Hole is finished and sanding

Bored the prop hole out to 1.5" today. It was a fairly painless exercise.

Spent quite a bit of time sanding the sides. This is not going to be a quick task, but it is looking pretty sweet.

Also I have finally got hold of some decent tape to tidy up the wiring loom.

My fibreglass supplies also arrived on Friday

It seems like lots of things are moving forward at the moment.

One thing I hadn't thought of is stain so I need to investigate that quickly.  I also need to decide if I am going to fibreglass the sides.

Drilling the prop shaft hole

Its Done !!

Was pretty easy.   Had a couple of minor problems

1.  The auger bit I am using has had a home made extension welded to it.  The actual auger is only about 6 or 7 inches long.   So once the hole gets deep the saw dust didn't get cleared out and instead backs up in the hole and compacts. So that caused the bit to get stuck a couple of times.

2. I didnt put a block on the inside so that the hole could fully form. I was able to back the drill out, screw on a block and then finished drilling the hole.

So I now have a 1" hole. Tomorrow I'll send a follower through to bore it out to 1.5"
