Templated the deck and got it cut out with extra blocking where there are seams/cutouts. Still awaiting a date for the foam to go in (hopefully this week).
Template made from scrap 1/4" material.
spraypainted the outline onto 1/2" MG ply.
cut out, with a 3/8" radius on the underside @ the perimeter, and test fitted.
The above pic shows the area for anchor storage and the hatch. The piece of ply in the middle right behind the fuel tank was swapped for a wider piece so it can get plenty of support from the stringers. As it is in the picture shown, there isn't enough support left/right of the wood, as it barely touches the stringers.
This pic shows the available room for the wire chase, something I was originally concerned with, but its fine.
Hotcoat and glass the underside is on the agenda this week. Pretty busy with a lot of other stuff, so we'll see what gets done.
