Gonna go back out and tab it all in. Then maybe glass the deck in that area...I still have to do the main deck but I can feel the epoxy heating up in the cup today quite fast....so the main deck may have to wait for a cooler day.

I used an electric planer to level out the gunnel top to fit the bow deck supports

Update:

I had to backtrack a bit and add another deck brace so the cleats would follow the contour of the bow. I also had to change the lateral cleats from 5/4 to 3/4 so they would make the curve.

I test fitted the bow sub base (1/4 ply) cut a little big to be planed to the hull edge.

1/4" oak strips will be epoxied to the top, with cotton and Sikaflex seams in white.
