Hey folks,
I recently bought a project boat that needs a complete gut and rebuild of the floor and stringers. In this the motor cover is also in bad shape. It was a plywood structure with foam on the inside and foam / poly on the outside similar to seat material. Given that I need to build something new I was thinking of building a mold and making a new fiberglass motor cover. Part of my rational here is that it would be sleek, lighter weight, etc but I'm concerned with how to dampen the noise from the engine and just generally not sure if it's a great idea to do something like this.
Any thoughts or experience out there?
Thanks,
Trevor.
