That's what I found with my '89 Tracker as well lots of space between the top of the stringers and the underside of the deck. Looks like a job for some Potter Putty

Thinking about a tad bit of weight to bring her down as well.
Not so much to cause spider cracks.
Just a kiss.

I`ve already started at the front of the deck with 1/8" and following along.
Should make her more of a piece.

I had an idea this morning.
I thought it might be a bit messy and wasteful filling caulking tubes.

So I thought pastry bag.

Fat and wide for volume of product.

Easily turned and spun in any direction.

I have some experience with them and they are easy to modulate.
My right hand squeezing the top of the bag controlling the flow.
My left hand pointing and shooting.
A flattened tip gets into real skinny areas.

The bags also work well and are certainly much easier to load. Have fun!

I`m an old pastry bag.

So I have all of the tabbing cut from the coffin bottom, except the corners.
Is the plywood bonded to the stringers on the sides underneath?
Guess I`ll find out later today.
Thanks for the discussion!
I really appreciate it.

On my boat it looks like they just threw a piece of half inch ply in there and tabbed it to the stringers on the sides. There was no glass underneath or even putty that they could have set it in and only one coat of resin on the top surface of the plywood. My new tank slats will probably be Nidacore or something similar very lightweight.

The faster I was indeed.
Shoulder complaint here.
Get in line please.

Tell me about it! I'm to the point where I'm afraid to get down in the bilge I might not get out
