This is the most fishing I have done on my seacraft

[martin]

Man Joel if you guys made smaller hatches I would buy every size you got

Funny how I cannot even catch a fish on me seacraft.. But instead entangle him..lol

Here are some more photos. To trim out the drip channel I used my 4.5" diamond wheel to score glass
Then used my router with guide collar to grove out the foam. Next I cut glass 1708 and layed two layers in the channel and up to the floor... Next I layed a tube I pre cut and fit in there to try to keep the shape of channel..I did wax the tube.. Then installed the hatch cut out back binnhole , and weighted down with batteries..

I cut this piece out and glued to the underside so I can cut in a drip channel later... With all foam cores I use my die grind er and take out about 3/8" of the core and back fill with thickened resin...on all edging whether exposed or not...unless wrapping with glass

Bull nosed the edge of the hatch cut out and now layed alayer of 1708 and a layer of mat. Ground out the core of the hatch cut put and backfilled with thickened resin,made from cabosil and ground fiberglass.
