well guys Ive been hard at work over the last couple of months, Ive managed to get the new deck in,2 of the hatches re-cored and the whole cap re-cored and while i was doing everything else i decided to pull the engine and repaint in the bilge as well. cant have a nice boat with a dirty bilge ya know.I first had made a template of the deck out of cheap wood and glued it all together. I then did all the demo work and grinding and fit the new plywood into place. once i had the new deck all cut to shape i started to glass the underside of the plywood with chop strand.then i removed the in floor scuppers (pain in the butt that was) i had to cut out the back part of the liner to be able to remove the 12'' x 3.5 '' solid soaking wet block that the scupper went through. i also had added a 3'' PVC pipe for the chase wires with 45deg elbows at each end. After i glued and screwed the new deck into place i did 2 layers of 1808 mat and tabbed all the edges with 2 layers of 1808 as well.then came all the fun of sanding all of the body work that needed to be done. After i got all the body work done on the deck i started on the cap, i removed all of the old core and replaced it with 3/4'' and 1/2'' plywood with 2 layers of chop under the wood (sandwiched) and a layer of 1808 on top of it to keep it covered. Once i got done with that i flipped it over and started to grind and glass all the existing holes from rod holder and whatever else was on there.I also had molded in the old rear live well for storage.
