So weather has not cooperated to do fiberglassing. It’s been upper 80’s and low 90’s with rain on the right temp days....
Was able to:
1. remove foreword bulkhead and cut it’s replacement out.
2. Grind down the stringers.
a. Dagger had a 4” board maybe a 2x4 once upon a time for the shelf support will never know b/c it was mush.
b. Grind down adjacent stringers- there was a piece of wood and a fiberglass shelf installed (looks like non oem to me)
3. Tabbing looks good under deck but may reinforce when I do bulkheads
4. Cutout new dagger “risers” out of thermolite (read coosa board) no coosa suppliers on my island but it’s the same idea foam and fiberglass board.
5. Began sanding the deck down... just ruined my 3rd orbital sander on this project... going to buy 2 more Monday. Very proud of my 10 y/o son who’s been out there with me sanding and helping me cut and make bulkheads.
6. Pressure tested the fuel tanks- no leaks.
Not pictured I cut a 3” piece of hdpe in half and will make channel ways for water on the hull... once I figure how to cut them out. I have a drum sander attachment for a drill/Dremel tool. Now where is it?!
It’s been a hot/itchy week.
