Thats pretty cool! How are you going to lay the carpet so you don't see the edge from the floor to the side? I looks like there is a lip.
Keep the pictures coming! |

Bj,
I admire your ambition with the stringers and certainly the floor pan (even though it's not original!!). Did you ever consider and talk to your glass guy about using one of the diamond non slip patterns on the floor pan like the 60's Mustangs? Considering what I've seen in the pictures, I'm sure he knows about the stuff you get for the pattern. Just curious!! |

The edges will be glassed smooth and the surface will be gel coated with a pumice added to provide a non skid surface. No Carpet.

Pete,
I missed your post about the diamond pattern. Yes I am very familiar with it and the boat yard even has a form of it. I personally prefer the pumice non-skid surface. I have a spearfishing buddy with the diamond non skid on his Pursuit and those little diamonds are sharp. (LIke when kneeling on it) The diamond pattern does scrub clean easier though. |

Subsequent to glassing down the deck, holes were cut in to the deck for the insertion of foam. Upon it expanding out the holes and thereby filling the compartment cavity the pucks were replaced and glassed back.

Sorry if I seem dense but I am really intrigued by the floor and don't fully understand the construction. If I understand correctly you used something like plexiglass or lexan for the base. Then applied your laying process on top of that and the plexiglass stays as part of the floor or you removed it before glassing it in place?

The Work table is tempered window glass. The molds are built on the top of the glass. Upon completion the deck section is popped up from the table top and flipped over giving a very smooth gel coat surface.

Gotcha, that makes sense! From the picture when you put it in the boat it looks like you can see an edge that looks like glass. What am I seeing there?

It is foam core that was glassed along the edges for a cleaner finished
look. Nida core is honey combed and not a very clean finish. I will have the pictures I promised in a few more days. |

Finally, the engine cradle is done. I went back to the post when I anticipated the cradle to be completed.... 12/09. I am glad I'm not under contract.

BJ, It is refreshing to see someone else still believes in original resin.
Note: On BJ's pics of lay-up, clear! No white, no air bubbles. AT |

BJ, looks great- as usual! Gary's '79 looks mint as well. Youre still a few steps ahead of us... our cradle needs some grinding and rewelding.

Hey Tim, Thanks, It is a very slow process. It seems like everything else is a priority. Your project is helping me along. You and your dad have taken some large steps.

I spent the day working on the BFN mounted both fins, the drain plug,and the raw water through hull pick up. Gary built a stainless strap with two gussets at the top and mounted the transom lifting ring. Nothing ever moves fast, but it is moving.

For the sake of conversation the first of the three photos in this post show four green pieces of 2X4 channel on the stern's deck. They are fiberglass. I am going to glass them down, then mount the fuel tank down. There will be rubber between the mounts and the tank.
