Thanks guys, boy sure was hoping you all would chime in. Thanks for reading my dissertation.
I know very little about Vinyl ester, but was considering it for parts not going to be glassed to existing structure. Will need to learn more, so I will use it correctly. The raise the deck idea was to allow the large suppers 1-1/2" x 3" in the stern. Maybe I should make them a little thinner and add a 3rd one in the center. I come in Jupiter inlet occasionally and the number of bow sticks that happen there make me want to get rid of water fast.
I need to think more about how you do your platform construction FlyingFrizzle I don't quite have my head wrapped around it yet.
Any considerations on the vinyl ester if I am doing this at temps below 60*?
So as a general principle, how much Vinyl ester should I need to do the bracket, and how much for the sole? Sole will be a bottom layer of 10oz and 2 top layers of 1700 and would include the casting deck. I will attach the sole with epoxy, both tabbing and putty. How much epoxy should I count on for the transom?
