I reshaped the bow floor today the plywood is bowed so i screwed it down hopping it pulls the bow out

I will pull it out tomorrow and fibreglass the inder side than put it back in

Close to 5/8”, so once encapsulated it’ll be very strong.

Thanks Chuck, once finished it will have 3 layers of 400gram biaxial using epoxy

 

[JASinIL2006]

That should be solid as a rock!

This will be my centre console im adding the top section to fit a 9inch fish finder and possibly a 10inch android tablet to run mercury vessel view i may recess the screens or use velcro to attach them

 

[gazza2007au]

The rear floor on both sides and the bow floor all need to be glassed under neath than glued down, this is how she looks right now, and the whole boat picture is how she will end up i have decided to build the cabin rather than center console

 

[gazza2007au]

I uploaded the wrong cabin picture hopefully this one works

Tonight i got the underside of my floor pieces laminated

 

[gazza2007au]

Floor is all down now i started filleting the floor edges last night i will likely radius the edge of the plywood

Merry Christmas Ladies and Gents

I bought a couple seats and seat post today

 

[Baylinerchuck]

Hopefully those seats are a bit more sturdy than the Wise seats I bought for my Bayliner years ago. Dang things had plastic bottoms that I guess were thin and moved all over the place. I hated those seats, ha ha.
I liked the idea of rot proof plastic, but after that experience, much prefer metal.
