I Need A Shrink !

Thats a good point and I've been thinking about how I'm going to do that. Simply pouring 2 part expanding foam into the cavity between the two parts would bury the live well and fish box fill/drain fittings in the foam. Also if I poured foam on the bottom of the liner I would have to rasp down the foam as it would no doubt expand more then I would like it to. Probably the easiest way to do it would be to use spray foam and spray the inner liner prior to glassing it in place that way I could control how much foam I apply and then let it air cure prior to setting it in place. Any suggestions as to what kind of spray foam is best for this application would be appreciated because the only kind I can think of at the moment is the stuff that comes in a can you buy at the hardware store which is used for sealing holes in studs and gaps around windows during installation.

My crew came over on Sunday and helped me get the cap back on the hull and we also removed the boat from the trailer and placed it on jacks. I could not have done this alone so I got to thank Bill, Scott, and George for their help. we used the gantry crane to lift the top cap onto the hull but it was not tall enough so we still had to manually lift and carry it forward to set it in place. I was worried that we would gouge up my paint job when replacing the top cap but I'm happy to say that we did not get so much as a scratch on the inner liner paint job. Also the cap fits perfectly and all the bolt holes line up.










sanding the teak swim platform. This thing is going to look really nice when finished.




Working on the seat boxes. The one with the larger hatch will store dead fish and the one with the smaller hatch will have a live well inside.








With some luck I hope to get primer on the outer hull sides and bottom this weekend.
