More Floor

Sheets of fiberglass fabric are cut to size and epoxied to the floor deck one width at a time. This makes it strong and waterproof.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once it is dry, the whole thing is sanded smooth. 

 

 

Chris cuts out pieces for the little upper deck, covers the undersides with epoxy, and attaches them.

 

 

 

 

Bulkheads and the Floor

Now that the boat has been flipped, the rest of the joints are covered in fiberglass and epoxy. Bulkheads are added to create compartments and to strengthen the floor.

The flooring is cut and sanded to fit from 3/4 inch Medium Density Overlay Plywood (MDO).

 

 

Then the flooring is removed and the underside is covered in epoxy.

 

When it is dry, the flooring is laid back into the boat and attached with thickened epoxy. The floor is screwed down to hold it until the epoxy dries, and then the screws are removed.
