Re: Just need a lawn chair and I'm good to go
and a question.
Boomyal, <br /><br />The lateral bulkheads are based on the original design, and are only between the stringers. The only one that actually supports the floor is the one forward of the gas tank. On the gunwale side of the stringer the original design had nothing, my design has a 6'wide x 8" long pad that's screwed to the underside of the deck across the joint. Since the distance from the stringer to the deck edge is only 14", that seemed to be sufficient. On the front section, the aft side of the bulkhead was reinforced w/a 1x3 for the deck to rest on, and also there's another 1x3 on the forward side that supports a second 3/4" 25 1/2 x54" panel that actually makes the floor where the ski locker will be cut 1 1/2" thick. That panel being 54" when the center section under the consoles was installed makes a 25 1/2x 6" pad for the very front section of the deck to mount. That panel was covered w/ 1 1/2oz mat overlapping the panel and stringers before the deck was screwed to it. Deck's more solid than the floors in my house!<br /><br />Roger<br /><br />
