Default Re: Here We Go Again

I wont argue with that Hermco. Progress has been slow for various reasons, work, kids, fishing and not excluding my lacking in motivation. At any rate I'll show what little I have completed in the last week.

I took some left over 5/8" core cell that I had laying around and ripped some 2" strips. Note the SeaCrafts in the background.



I beveled the top edge to meet with the same plane as the top of the stringers and the bottom edge just has a 45 angle on it so the glass will roll over it easy. These strips will get laminated to the side of the hull and the edge of the floor will rest on them. I then took some 5 minute epoxy and ran a line the length of the piece. I used a level on top of the stringers and drew a mark were the top of the core cell should be and then glued them to the side of the hull. I cut some sticks to help wedge the piece to the hull while the 5 minute epoxy dried. It took longer then 5 minutes so I'm planning to write a letter to the company.




I also cut some pieces of 1708 so I could tab the stringers to the transom.




Here is a shot of the floor support laminated tot he side of the hull and stringers tabbed in place.



I will have to do the same thing for the upper deck but I'm going to have to do a test fit to see were the deck sits so I can get my mark for the core cell.

Till next time.
