I have a 16ft fiberglass semiv type skiff that i want to make a center console. I plan on putting 2 stringers, each 6-7" off center. Plan on laying floor, rear bench build, fiberglass and I would like to FOAM the outer compartments under the floor and in the front and rear seat. Any advice/comments/suggestions would be appreciated since this will be my first attempt at this. So far I have cut out all old benches and removed foam to check for leaks... there were no leaks so now i am cleaning it up for sanding to prep for stringers and glass.
Question: Does the floor need to be sanded smooth for applying fiberglass directly to old coat on the boat? Should I just rough/scratch it up with some steel wool for adhesion?
I am on a budget.
