Getting ready to install the fishbox in the rear of the boat. I used two 2x4's to suspend it so the top will be flush with the bottom of the deck when it is set in. Also allows me to have insulating foam around the box.
Drain line to the bilge.
Installed a 1/4 turn ball valve that can be used instead of a plug in the box. I dripped some primer in the bilge and will have to sand and repaint those spots.
Foam being installed.
Three pieces of hardi board on the laminating table for a nice smooth surface.
Borrowing and idea from Billy the Kid I ripped a sheet of 1/8" luan to build the template for the deck. I used hot glue to attach all the pieces
Transfering the template to the laminating table. Had to get my wife to help out because of the flex in it.
I used 3/4" chamfer to mark the edges. Also cut some plywood for the openings for the rigging tubes and access port over the fuel tank. Started forming the hatch opening that will be in the rear. I've done 95% of this project by myself but will be recruiting some friends to help me lay up the deck. With next weekend being Easter it will probably be the following week, weather permitting.
