Sweet. That looks cool. Any other pics of pilot house

Well like any other resto projects we are in deep. Stringers were soaked so they came out. Formed stringers to new floor height. All wood you see is the forms and will be removed. Stringers will be glassed like originals .

Foam has been poured. Next is shaping and glass

Here is a before pic .

Looks good dude. Honestly u could of got away from filling w foam. Really no reason to do so. Unless u plan on filling the whole boat w foam so it will somewhat float if it sinks

I used to feel the same way, I thought why would anybody want to put that crap back into a boat. My feelings towards foam changed one day when I split a 2' crack down the stringer threw the hull in my mitchcraft flats boat out in the middle of the river. Lucky I was only a mile or so from the creek mouth coming into the ramp when it happen. The boat filled with water in seconds. It sat in the water at a 30 degree angle with my power head barely above the water line. Water was poring over the 25" high transom from in the boat back into the river at a fast rate. I slowly made it back to the ramp while water filled the boat and ran out the back. The foam under the deck and in the stringers was the only thing that save my butt. The mitchcraft is a full composite boat with foam filled box stringers almost like the ones in the seacraft. The foam kept the heavy 200 hp power head just barely above the water and it kept the boat from sinking. I was far enough out in the river there was no beaching it in time. Ever since then I changed my thinking on foam in a boat. If you get a good closed cell type it will do much better staying dry than the 40 year old potter stuff. Even the old stuff will not hold as much water if it can drain out the boat. Dont get me wrong I dont like the stuff but it can save you if you get in a bind and there are some coast guard requirements that says you have to have it too I think.

I am at this point on my sf cc and like the way you formed it up. I been trying to come up with a way to add a few inches to my box stringers as well with out spending a ton of cash on form material that will just get trashed. I had to cut the tops off mine as well to dig the 800lbs of wet foam out. Did you use anything to seal the seam between the top of the glass stringer and the wood form or did not try to run out between the gaps as it expanded? I thought about doing the same but dont want it leaking out every where when I pour it. Also about how many Gallons of the a&b pour mixture did it take to do the boxes with the extra height?

It took about 3.5 gallon kits to do that. There wasn't that many leaks . I lined the forms with plastic so they can be pealed easily . That pic was the second sinking of this boat , that we know of!

Pulled forms , looks good alittle shaping and some clean up ready for glass. The foam is level. Pic makes it look tilted.

Awesome!!
