Default Re: Materials

Got some stuff done this weekend and before calling it quits for a beer or two and the superbowl. I got some radius wax from my fiberglass guy that work really well for all the hatches in the mold. I laid it down against the mold heated up a 1/2 socket and hit the wax for a couple of seconds with a heat gun and it ran right around the mold.





tank mounted with some fiberglass shims and neoprene between the tank and the fiberglass.I wanted the tank to be mounted into the new plywood stringers for some strenght instead of just the thin original stringer.



I put the bench seat and console on the mold for layout purposes




I got the hoses ran and hooked up for the livewell and bilge pumps. All the hard plumbing was done on the livewell side also hooked the wires for the bilge pump and livewell and heat shrinked. I took a strip of fiberglass and ran it through the table saw for a wire runner .



I decided to use 3" drainage tubing for the rigging tubes since its 5 times lighter than scedule 40 pvc and it is extremely durable.



I took some other strips of leftover glass and used them as mounting plate for the rigging tubes. I drilled a couple beaded the screws with 4200 and set everything in place.



I decided to put a rigging tube on the port side to for the saltwater wash down hose, bilge pump wires, livewell wires, gas tank wire, I didnt want to short myself on space.



I am hoping to get the deck layed up this week I am just waiting for the floor flange for the livewell for the layout.
