Re: 1964 Johnson Tri-Hull restore!
Ok, I got my floor all cut out. Sorry no pics, forgot to take the camera over to where I have the boat. Now I must start glassing the underside of the deck with CSM, will round over the edges. Now here is what I'm thinking for installing the deck, since the deck isn't supported all the way up to the bow, I have my last big seam on the front of the stringers so will have good support there, then the last two little pieces wont matter since they are only at the very point of the bow where you don't walk anyway. So I want to glass underneath the deck,
1: Should I wrap the sides of the plywood at the joints as well? If I do it wont be a perfect fit on the seams? Fill after?
2: After glassing is done, lay the pieces of deck in the hull, put the cap back on so as to hold proper shape to the sides of the hull and so I know it'll fit, don't want to glass in the deck for it to hold the sides of the hull out and not be able to fit the cap back on!!!!!!!!!!
3: How to hold the seams of each joint of the deck flush? Was thinking of gluing blocks over the top of the deck surface to hold the joints flush, tab in the whole deck, then pour foam, once the foam is set, knock the glued blocks off and finish glassing the deck.
Thanks !!
