Re: 23 Project Started
Everything is coming along great. I agree no red oak. especially in the bilge. There are a couple other options out there, Wood wrapped with glass is tough becuase you have to remeber fiberglass is pourous and water will end up getting in. If you are going to use wood marine ply, exterior ply, pressure treated.If you are going to use some type of wood I would suggest painting them with an expoy based primer to seal the fiberglass. I ended up making solid fiberglass strips so I know they will not rot. You dont have to make them with epoxy for obvious money issues, lay them up with polyester and epoxy them into place.
keep the picks coming it keeps people interested in the build and helps when you ask questions.
