A lot of work has been done. It’s hard to balance work family and boat. It will be better when I can combine family and boat for a few fun keys trips. Maybe swordfish?
I finished installing the tanks and fuel lines. The deck is bonded down! We used Arjay vinylester bonding compound. A good bead around the lip of the old deck and a 6” wide glob down the middle of each stringer. I had a friend help. He went down the port side, starting at the bow. I did the starboard side. The 5 gallons of Arjay bonding compound was split into two buckets and mixed with a drill. We only used 4 gallons. The rest was wasted. The deck is rock solid. Need to add tabbing but waiting to finish the transom and do it all at once.
