Thanks Don for chiming in.
Gradysailfish- a fella named Wilson Ayala made a nice anchor locker like you described over on classic mako. He built a mold. Maybe you can do a search over there and find it.
Jaizzen- to answer your question it bowed out about 2 inches on each side right in the middle. Theres no stress or buckeling on the sides. And I did not notice it until I went to put the cap back on. Since put the floor in and balsa cored the sides it's very solid now.
I've showed those littel molds I made for the gunnel cap supports and I had a chance to make the parts from them. I put some modeling clay in the corners of the mold to seal up the joints so resin would not get into the joint, Next I wiped some part all wax all over the mold. No buffing here just wiped it on.
Cut some pieces of matt and 1708
laying up the part
I'm impatient and theres not much sun light these days so I heated the mold/part with my propane blower
after they cured I ground off all the rough edges
and popped them out of the mold
They are not mean to be perfect. There will be some light sanding and fairing. Then priming and painting.
checking how they fit
