Got a lot done this weekend. The last of the hull was prepped for foam and everything else needed before the deck went on.
Made some pads to level up the old scupper channels flush with the old deck.
added 3/4" cleats front and back to support the deck/fuel hatch better
rolled on some PVA to the underside of the new deck pieces and screwed them in place temp. while the 2lb foam expanded into place. removed the deck once it was set and hit a few spots the foam never got to. Some people install the deck and then use create openings throughout the deck and pour the foam in, but I wanted to be sure that the foam was everywhere, so this route seemed to make more sense. Just make sure to remove the PVA once you are done.
I also added a perimeter around the front deck hatch to stiffen it up:
Sat evening I got the deck bonded/screwed down, and yesterday I removed all the screws and filled all the holes, and made a fillet where the deck meets the hull. Ill cover it in glass this week.
