I didn't get quite as far as I hoped the other day, so everything In front of the live well still has to be removed. I learned an expensive lesson the hardway, a worker at Home Depot, who claimed to have restored boats as a side job in the past suggested using 3 coats Thompson's Water seal on regular plywood, since marine grade was out of my budget, so I did. Per manufacturere mail, the DAP Contact Adhesive Spray Grade. I'll be using should not be used over sealed wood. I previously worked at an upholstery shop, so I know what I'm in for with the adhesive set times. So back I went and bought 3 more sheets of 5/8". Will be using 3/8" for vinyl panels, and 3/4" for the bow. I painted the bottom with exterior paint and will paint the edges after the pieces have been cut. Thought about using cardboard as a template, since the old decking had the structural strength of rotton carpet.
By the way, I learned not to use treated plywood from you fine gentleman.
If my plans are incorrect in any way please let me know.
