Re: Turning I/O into outboard with bracket
I have a question, I am going to cut the plywood around the doghouse where you can see the pencil lines. I was thinking it should be beveled to some degree, my question is would you bevel it so that the new piece is so that it slides under the deck bevel or does it matter?

Re: Turning I/O into outboard with bracket
Good to see you working on it instead of selling it
 I would put a 'positive' bevel on the existing deck and a negative bevel on the new deck pieces. Then attach cleats to the underside of the existing deck. This will allow you to screw the new deck to something and the top of all the pieces will be level. When you get ready to lay the deck down, butter the beveled surface with thickened resin and screw it down that way the pieces are already bonded before you lay matt over the deck.

Re: Turning I/O into outboard with bracket
I am in the process of repairing the top cap. All of the area you see ground out have been repaired now I need to glass around the lip where the rubrail screws to but don't know what glass to use? Also someone gooped the joint where the top cap over laps the hull any suggestions on how to get that crap out of there. I need to take some pictures I have the stringers built up and glassed from where they were cut to accomodate the I/O. Now I need to build the new bulkhead and cap.
