Floor is done
|
Floor is done waiting for seating storage and Floatain foam.
|
|
|
I cardboard the seating area as it is not flat. Then i joined the two with a 1x2 piece of wood.
|
The front and sides setup and cut to fit.
|
|
Rear area removed
|
I removed the rear area as I still need to install fuel. wiriring, steering. throttle cables. All new and i will keep you up to date on progress. I will be epoxycoating these pieces also.
|
|
All corners are reinforced with a 1x2.
In the previous picture you can see there is a port and starboard area. The Starboard side gets the battery. I might add another to the port (this) side.
|
Completed the seating are now called STORAGE.
|
|
Rear bases are now installed and glued into place
|
The bases are not yet epoxy coated. They are glued with epoxy mixed with milled glass fibers.
|
|
As you can barely see the new bases are set in place and epoxy gel was added to almost all edges where they meet the boat. I had a hard time getting it all but as it is dry now I can freely move in and finish this up. I am a little wider than 16 and 1/4".
The board near the top rear is a temporry brace to be sure it is straight and the correct distance apart.
As you can see the plywood is not sealed yet. I will seal it up prior to installing the foam that is needed.
|
I cut and installed the bases in the front of the boat
|
|
Front bases are now installed and glued into place
|
The bases are not yet epoxy coated. They are glued with epoxy mixed with milled glass fibers.
|
|
I trial fitted the top rear areas. I had to carefull cut the hatches as the 90 degree angles turned out to be 102 or 89. Oh well it fits now.
|
Rear area top trail fitted
|
|
I cut the hatch area
|
I cut the hatch are thats where the battery sits. I will epoxy coat the interior and then will mount the hatch with hinges. There used to be seats that fit here but I think its a bad Idea as they are subjected to the roar from the outboard!
|
|
You can see the starboard front storage area and under the console is a place for more foam.
|
starboard front storage area
|
|
Port trial fit
|
I trial fitted the portside top. Looks very good. I had to cut the base a small amount as it was a .5 inch to high. I must have missed something along the line.
|
|
|
I cut four 2 inch holes to get the corners curved.
|
I wanted curved corners
|
|
Strorage hole cut wheew
|
I carefully joind the edges of the curves. This worked pretty well.
|
|
|
It looks like I got the hole in the right spot!
|
Starboard side storage complete
